Role Description
This is a full-time, hybrid role (3 set days in the office with the potential for back to the office full-time in the future), for a Senior Associate/Experienced Bookkeeper with 3-6 years of hands-on QuickBooks Online (QBO) experience — this is a non-negotiable requirement.

This role requires proven experience managing complex bookkeeping engagements, including multi-entity structures, intercompany transactions and reconciliations, foreign exchange (FX) transactions, accrual-based accounting, manual journal entries, month-end close processes, and full balance sheet reconciliations. Canadian bookkeeping expertise is essential, including GST/HST (and PST/QST where applicable), payroll remittances, WSIB, CRA correspondence, and maintaining audit-ready financial records.
The successful candidate is highly skilled and tech-savvy individual who needs to be proficient in QBO and comfortable working across a variety of platforms and technologies. The ideal candidate will have a keen eye for detail, along with strong organizational, prioritization, and problem-solving skills. Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications is required, as the candidate will need to integrate seamlessly into our business and begin handling client tasks immediately.
