Job description

ImageX has an immediate opportunity for a talented Associate Accountant to join our team. At ImageX, you’ll work on exciting challenges where innovation and learning is prized and everyone’s voice is heard. Your colleagues are passionate about web design and development and advocates of open-source and delivering excellence.

This is a full-time 6 month fixed term position with a competitive compensation package; including group benefits, performance bonus, education fund and plenty of opportunities to grow with an industry leading web development agency that values people and work/life balance.There is a possibility for extension after the 6 month term, depending on business needs & individual performance.

While we do still have a physicaloffice located in beautiful Vancouver, BC we believe that adapting to the growing demand for flexibility in how and where we work should be paramount. As such, we are a distributed workforce that work predominantly remote, and embrace opportunities throughout the year for co-working days and retreats.

Things are good at ImageX. We were recently voted a Great Place to Work (again!) as well as multiple awards pertaining to our magnificent culture and amazing projects!

We have a roster of happy clients and team satisfaction is high - many of our clients have been with us for up to ten years. But, we also want to keep growing too! Growth not just for its own sake, but so we can serve our clients better and continue to give our team interesting problems to solve while giving back to the drupal community.

About You:

You’re a detail-oriented and reliable Associate Accountant with 2-3 years of hands-on experience managing full-cycle accounting for a growing business. You’ve worked with Xero as your primary accounting platform and feel confident navigating month-end close, AP, AR, and reconciliations. You take pride in clean books, timely reporting, and proactive communication. You’re organized, tech-savvy, and not afraid to ask questions to get things right the first time. Experience in a service-based business environment is a strong asset, especially if you're familiar with the rhythm of client billing, contractor payments, and project-based invoicing.

About the Position:

We’re looking for an Associate Accountant to join our team and take ownership of our day-to-day financial operations. Reporting to our VP of Finance, this role will manage bookkeeping, accounts payable, accounts receivable, month-end close, and help manage contractor and employee payroll data. You’ll work closely with the delivery and operations teams to ensure financial accuracy, proper documentation, and timely communication with both internal stakeholders and external vendors or clients. You’ll also help support onboarding for new clients and contractors, manage our Dext and Float workflows, and play a key role in keeping our books accurate, organized, and ready for monthly reporting.

You will:

• Perform full-cycle bookkeeping in Xero: transaction coding, reconciliations, and chart of accounts maintenance
• Execute month-end close procedures including accruals, prepaids, and AR/AP reconciliation
• Manage AP: process vendor and contractor invoices, reimburse employee expenses, and pay via an online banking platform
• Manage AR: onboard new clients, issue invoices, follow up on overdue accounts, and lead internal AR meetings
• Track billable hours and project invoicing via Harvest and Google Sheets and prepare monthly invoicing
• Coordinate and manage our Finance Tech stack including Xero, Dext, Float, and ADP to ensure seamless financial operations
• Assist with payroll inputs, employee onboarding/offboarding, and year-end T4 support
• Support the finance team in maintaining up-to-date trackers, budgets vs actuals, and vendor documentation.

You Need:

• 2-3 years of full-cycle bookkeeping experience, preferably in a service-based or agency environment
• 2+ years using Xero as your main accounting software
• Solid understanding of Accounts Payable (AP) and Accounts Receivable (AR) workflows
• Experience with month-end close and general accounting principles
• Comfortable working with financial tools like Dext, Xero, ADP Payroll and Float
• Familiarity with creating ACH and Wire payments for global contractors and vendors
• Passion for spreadsheets (Google Sheets or Excel), with strong attention to detail and data structure
• A root cause analysis mindset – you don’t just spot discrepancies, you investigate and resolve them with little support
• Strong attention to detail, problem solving skills, and a proactive mindset
• Excellent communication skills – you’re able to follow up professionally and clarify issues when needed.

Compensation:

Base Salary Range: $50,000-$60,000 annual salary (pro-rated for 6 month fixed term)
