General Accountant

At Hive, we’re all about creating moments that matter — helping event marketers connect with their biggest fans. Live events bring people together, and our industry-leading marketing platform makes it easier than ever for promoters to grow audiences and drive revenue.

We’re hiring an in-house Accountant to take full ownership of Hive’s accounting function as we transition from an outsourced model to internal control.

This is a high-impact role at a pivotal moment for the company. You’ll own full-cycle accounting while helping us build the systems, processes, and infrastructure needed to scale. A key part of your mandate will also be supporting the implementation of a new ERP system and improving the speed and accuracy of financial data—so our leaders can make better, faster decisions.

About the Accounting team

Today, our accounting is managed externally. While this has worked to date, it creates challenges in speed, accuracy, and ownership. This role is critical to:

• Reducing delays in month-end close

• Improving confidence in financial reporting

• Enabling timely forecasting and decision-making

• Building scalable financial systems as we grow

What You’ll Do:

You’ll take ownership of the end-to-end accounting function across the business including:

• Own full-cycle accounting (AP, AR, GL, journal entries, accruals) across multiple entities

• Manage and execute the month-end close process

• Maintain and reconcile balance sheet and general ledger accounts

• Ensure accurate revenue recognition and reconciliation (SaaS/subscription-based)

• Prepare timely and accurate financial reports (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow)

• Manage expense programs and related tools

• Support budgeting and forecasting processes

• Lead or support ERP system implementation

• Identify and implement process improvements to increase efficiency and scalability

Who You Are:

• Experience with full-cycle accounting ownership

• Strong hands-on experience with month-end close, journal entries, and reconciliations

• Experience with revenue recognition and balance sheet management

• Experience with accounting systems (e.g., QuickBooks, Chargebee, or similar)

• Ability to independently manage deadlines and deliver high-quality outputs

What you have:

• Strong attention to detail and accuracy

• High ownership and accountability

• Analytical mindset with ability to investigate anomalies

• Proactive in identifying improvements and inefficiencies

• Clear communicator and strong cross-functional collaborator

• Comfortable operating in evolving, less structured environments

Bonus points if…

• Experience implementing or migrating to an ERP system

• Background in SaaS or subscription-based revenue models

• Experience in a high-growth or startup environment

• Multi-entity accounting experience

• Exposure to FP&A or forecasting

• Familiarity with tools like Campfire, Rillet, or similar

• Experience using AI tools to drive efficiency

Compensation & Benefits Package

• Meaningful salary + equity: The compensation range for this role is $70,000 to $90,000 CAD per year. New team members typically start between $70,000 - $80,000, based on experience and alignment with the expectations outlined in this posting. This range reflects not just where you begin, but the growth we expect and invest in as you grow at Hive.

• Work fully remote in Canada: where you’re most productive whether that be from your house, or elsewhere. We just ask that you have the legal work authorization in the country that you reside & work within. Unfortunately, we are unable to hire within Quebec at this time.

• Flexible work hours: choose your 9-5 as long as it’s not disruptive to your role, team, and Hive.

• Health + Insurance: Comprehensive health & dental coverage with a parental leave top-up program.

• Live Experience stipend: a stipend to go out and experience live events — whether that’s a concert, festival, sporting event, or anything else that energizes and inspires you.

• Unlimited vacation/PTO policy: so you can be happy and healthy!
