Join the team redefining how the world experiences design

Hey, 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 campus is in Sydney, Australia, but with many of our Canvanauts calling the Philippines home, our office in Manila is a buzzing place. Whether your role needs you in the office, at home or a bit of both, we've created an environment that truly empowers you to thrive.
At the moment, this role is focused on:

  • Preparing and submitting annual statutory financial statements for multiple Canva entities, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and full compliance with local requirements.
  • Leading audit readiness initiatives through robust processes, clear documentation, and alignment with local accounting standards.
  • Supporting our Regional Accounting Team by interpreting local GAAP and identifying key differences, then communicating them across the business.
  • Managing external accounting and audit partners on complex technical positions and ensuring smooth collaboration.
  • Delivering audit requirements and financial data with speed, clarity, and precision.
  • Collaborating with Canva’s broader finance teams—core accounting, regional accounting, and tax—to drive aligned reporting outcomes.

You're probably a match if:

  • You have relevant accounting experience, ideally in a professional services or corporate finance environment with audit and statutory reporting exposure.
  • You have a solid understanding local GAAP regulations
  • You thrive in ambiguity and love untangling complexity—especially in accounting treatments and jurisdictional nuances.
  • You’ve got top-notch communication skills and can break down technical concepts clearly for non-finance teams.
  • You’re a strong collaborator. You will work closely with the Sydney Head Office Finance team, as well as collaborating with our local finance teams in various jurisdictions

What's in it for you?

Achieving our crazy big goals motivates us to work hard, but you’ll experience plenty of moments of magic, connection, and fun woven throughout life at Canva.
