Hello, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora, 你好, hallo, vítejte!

Thanks for stopping by. We know job hunting can be a little time consuming and you're probably keen to find out what's on offer, so we'll get straight to the point.

Where and how you can work

Our flagship office is in Sydney, Australia, but we've made our way from down under, to our brand new office in San Francisco, which is now home to our US operations. We offer flexibility in how and where you work. We trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.

  • Take ownership of key accounting processes, ensuring accurate and timely financial reporting in compliance with GAAP and global standards.
  • Strengthen internal controls and SOX compliance, ensuring financial accuracy and integrity.
  • Introduce automation, AI, and new technology to streamline accounting processes and improve efficiency.

  • Partner with teams across Canva to simplify financial processes, provide insights that drive better decision-making and elevate financial understanding across the company.
  • Support audits and regulatory requirements, working closely with external auditors and internal teams.

  • Strong understanding of GAAP, SOX compliance, and internal controls.
  • A problem solver who thrives in fast-paced environments and enjoys optimizing processes.
  • Excellent communication skills—you can simplify complex financial concepts for non-financial teams.
