Job description

Cloud-based accounting & consulting firm

We are a fully remote accounting and consulting firm based in Ontario, with clients and the team spread nationwide. We take care of every financial service need our clients might have: payroll, bookkeeping, sales tax filing, corporate returns, and personal taxes. In addition, we are actively expanding into other more complex financial services areas, from comprehensive financial transactions to operational consulting to strategic support.

However, our key strength is our team!

Everybody on the team is always ready to help whenever they can with whatever they can. It is always a team effort for us, and everybody’s contribution outside of their core duties, while not expected, is always highly valued.

Why us

To succeed, we carefully listen to everybody we work with – the team and the clients. We deeply appreciate our teams’ skills and years of experience, culture, personality, and who they are. We have built a culture of respect, patience, flexibility, and support for our clients, and each other.

Last but not least, while most organizations are ever increasing their restrictions and number of in-office days, we continue embracing fully remote work arrangements, flexibility, and work-life balance. And, yes, we pay competitively!

If this is the culture you feel you can see yourself in, you are the right candidate!

The opportunity

Right now, we have an opening for a very strong senior bookkeeper to supplement our team. While most of the responsibilities for this role will be bookkeeping-centric, additional support will be needed as we grow and evolve. From our experience, candidates who are comfortable with fast-paced environments and modern technology, possess impeccable attention to detail and have a positive attitude will succeed and prosper at our firm.
