Senior Accountant in Vancouver, British Columbia at REW

REW is seeking a hands-on Senior Accountant who seamlessly blends business curiosity with technical rigour.

At REW.ca, we believe real estate is one of life’s great adventures. As Western Canada’s premier real estate platform, we empower millions of Canadians to navigate their home search journeys with confidence. By combining innovative technology, deep market insights, and a seamless user experience, REW.ca empowers home seekers to find their perfect home. Our mission is to make real estate a more personal experience, guided by care, empathy, and innovation.

We’ve done this by carefully assembling a team of great people who have great ideas. One of those genius-level ideas is to make REW quite simply the best place in the world to work - and we’d like your help to get there.

And that’s where you come in.

We’re searching for a hands-on Senior Accountant to join our small yet mighty Finance and Operations team. In this role, you’ll help keep the REW financial engine running smoothly - from day-to-day accounting and month-end close, to thoughtful analysis that adds context to the numbers.

Reporting to the Director of Finance and Operations, you’ll help ensure business activity flows accurately through to the financials. You’ll bring a conscientious and curious mindset - maintaining accounting rigour and meeting deadlines, while raising flags when something needs review or an approach can be improved.

The right fit is about far more than routine processing. We’re looking for a collaborative problem-solver who enjoys getting into the details, working with teams across the business, and making an impact. If you like building better processes and supporting good decisions, you’ll no doubt love it here.
