About Relay

You build with AI, not just use it: You're actively embedding AI into how you work, pushing what's possible, and bringing your team along with you

Small businesses are why we're here: Relay exists to help them thrive -- and that mission has to resonate with you

You own your work: You take pride in your work, follow through on commitments, and feel a deep sense of responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks

You push relentlessly for reinvention: You're always asking "how can this be better?" -- in your work, in your craft, in yourself. Comfort is a signal to push harder, not coast. You'd rather build something better than defend something familiar

You’re energized by complexity and ambiguity: You enjoy tackling problems that don’t come with a playbook. You’re comfortable building from scratch, iterating as you go, and collaborating to shape the best path forward

We're looking for people who are relentless, curious, and care deeply about the work. You're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't perfectly match the job description -- your perspective and drive matter more. We welcome diverse backgrounds and people who think critically, challenge the status quo, and want to help small businesses thrive

Responsibilities

• Gérer et automatiser le cycle des comptes fournisseurs, en identifiant les points de contact manuels et en mettant en œuvre des améliorations.
• Collaborer avec l'équipe financière pour garantir l'exactitude et la rapidité des enregistrements, en prenant en charge les rapprochements bancaires, les écritures d'ajustement, les provisions et l'analyse des écarts.
• Contribuer à la construction et au renforcement des contrôles internes, à la documentation des processus et à l'identification des lacunes, en aidant la fonction financière à évoluer avec l'entreprise.
• Strong cross-functional communicator — you can work with people outside of finance, manage vendor relationships, and represent the finance team professionally
• Comfortable with AP and month-end workflows — you've had experience with these before and can hit the ground running. We use Rillet as our accounting ERP

Requirements

• CPA or actively pursuing your CPA designation — this is a near-requirement. We want someone building toward the credential, not just executing tasks
• AI-forward mindset — you're curious about automation, not intimidated by it. You may not have built workflows yet, but you're eager to
• 1.5+ years of accounting experience in a professional setting — someone who has already rolled up their sleeves and done the work
• You seek out feedback: You see directness as respect, not criticism. You actively seek input, sit with hard truths, and use feedback as fuel for improvement
• You care about impact, not noise: You care deeply about the substance of your work. You measure success by results, not recognition, and you let your work speak for itself
• You crave autonomy: We trust our team with big challenges and the freedom to solve them. If you’re someone who takes initiative, is comfortable taking risks, and seeks input when needed, you’ll find the freedom here empowering

Preferred

• Tech-savvy — experience in a tech environment is a plus; familiarity with US GAAP is an asset
