The Role
Reporting to the Assistant Controller, the Senior Financial Analyst will play a key role in owning and evolving Solink’s end-to-end financial reporting.
This role goes beyond maintaining the books—it’s about navigating ambiguity, solving complex accounting challenges, and improving how finance operates as we scale. You will work across revenue (IFRS 15), inventory (IAS 2), and fixed assets (IAS 16) in a hybrid SaaS and hardware-enabled environment.

Inventory Management & Cost Accounting
- Oversee accounting for inventory transactions, ensuring accurate valuation and reconciliation
- Analyze inventory balances and movements (purchases, shipments, write-offs)
- Ensure compliance with IAS 2 and company policies
- Partner with Operations and Procurement to improve inventory visibility and controls
Reconciliations & Financial Integrity
- Own and maintain reconciliations of key balance sheet accounts, including deferred revenue, inventory, accrued liabilities, and intercompany balances

- Prepare journal entries, perform variance analysis, and support management reporting
- Participate in ERP and financial system improvements (NetSuite, Salesforce, etc.)
- Drive automation and process improvements to support a scaling finance function
What You Bring
Must-Have:
- CPA designation (or in final stages of completion)
- 4–6 years of progressive experience across public accounting and/or high-growth environments
- Strong technical accounting foundation with IFRS, including IFRS 15 (Revenue Recognition), IAS 2 (Inventory), IAS 16 (Property, Plant & Equipment)
