Our mission is to increase the success rate of small businesses. Traditional banking has been a growth limiter rather than a growth enabler for business owners, and we’re changing that. Relay is the all-in-one, collaborative money management platform. We’re building for employer SMBs and their finance function, internal and external, and are focused on delivering a human-centric customer experience. Ultimately, we help SMBs be ‘on the money'.

Relay is entering an exciting new chapter of growth. Reporting to the Director of Finance, we’re looking for a Junior Accountant to help us scale our Finance engine. In this role, you’ll be able to support financial reporting and operations processes that enable Relay to function. You’ll cross-functionally work with various departments across the organization including Marketing, Risk, IT and People to ensure compliance with accounting policies and deliver on internal reporting requests.

Joining Relay means an opportunity to make a huge impact in building solutions with the potential to reach 29 million small businesses across North America. If you thrive on growth and solving real customer problems, we want to hear from you! Please note that we are a hybrid environment and choose to collaborate in the office twice a week.
