Your expertise and leadership will play a pivotal role in evolving Canva's capabilities in this space, while ensuring that our processes and policies support the scale and complexity of a rapidly-expanding company. You will Oversee the timely and accurate preparation of monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements in compliance with

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and other relevant standards. Lead and mentor a high-performing corporate accounting team, fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional development. Oversee the development and ongoing maintenance of effective internal controls to safeguard our accounting and close processes and enhance the reliability of financial information.

Assess and mitigate financial risks, providing recommendations for improvements and optimization. Drive collaboration across departments to enhance cross-functional understanding of financial processes and outcomes. Streamline and optimize financial processes, leveraging technology and best practices to enhance efficiency and accuracy.

Identify opportunities for system enhancements and lead implementation efforts to ensure the scalability of financial operations. Qualifications What we're looking for A strategic Corporate Accounting expert with deep technical expertise, operational skills, and a proven record of successfully leading and scaling accounting functions.

Thriving in a fast-paced and dynamic environment, you are able to adapt quickly to changing circumstances and effectively navigate competing priorities. As a strong leader, you empower and rally your team to find innovative solutions to complex problems. Your exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills enable you to influence and build consensus, achieving desired outcomes.

Also, we'd love it if you had... Demonstrated success in leading Corporate Accounting operations function through rapid growth in a public company environment, with a proven ability to develop and execute effective strategies. Strong leadership and team management skills with a proven track record of building high-performing teams and continuously supporting their growth and development.
