Role

We’re looking for a Bookkeeper to join our growing team and take ownership of the day-to-day accounting for our business.

This is a hands-on role for someone who is organized, detail-oriented, dependable, and genuinely enjoys working with numbers. You’ll work closely with the finance and leadership teams to keep our financial records accurate, our processes organized, and our business running smoothly behind the scenes.

We operate across multiple business units, so this role offers the opportunity to work with a variety of transactions, projects, and financial activities rather than doing the same thing every day.

We’re looking for someone who can work independently, take ownership of their responsibilities, ask questions when needed, and be proactive about identifying ways to make things better.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Maintain accurate and up-to-date accounting records across multiple business units
• Manage day-to-day accounts payable and accounts receivable activities
• Prepare, issue, and track customer invoices and follow up on outstanding balances
• Process vendor invoices, payments, employee expenses, and other financial transactions
• Perform bank, credit card, and other account reconciliations
• Record journal entries and ensure transactions are accurately coded and supported
• Maintain well-organized financial records and supporting documentation
• Investigate discrepancies, unusual transactions, and missing documentation, and follow through to resolution
• Help ensure consistent and efficient accounting processes across the company's business units
• Provide general accounting and administrative support to the finance team as needed

What Makes You a Great Fit

• 2+ years of bookkeeping or full-cycle accounting experience
• Strong understanding of accounting principles and financial processes
• Hands-on experience with accounts payable, accounts receivable, bank reconciliations, and credit card reconciliations
• Excellent attention to detail and a high level of accuracy
• Strong organizational and time-management skills
• Ability to work independently and manage competing priorities
• Strong problem-solving skills and the confidence to investigate and resolve discrepancies
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel
• Experience with accounting software or ERP systems; Workamajig experience is an asset
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Professional, dependable, and collaborative
• A proactive mindset — you don't just identify problems; you take ownership and help find solutions

Bonus Points If You Have

• Experience working with multiple entities, departments, or business units
• Experience in professional services, creative, events, marketing, or other project-based environments
• Experience with Canadian accounting and GST/HST
• Payroll experience
Experience with budgeting, forecasting, or management reporting
• An interest in improving processes and finding ways to make accounting more efficient

Why You’ll Like This Role

This isn't a role where you'll simply be entering numbers and checking boxes.

You'll have the opportunity to work closely with the people making business decisions, understand how different parts of the company operate, and contribute to improving the way we manage our finances.

We're growing, evolving, and building our systems as we go — which means your ideas and initiative will matter.

If you're someone who likes to stay organized, notices the little things, takes ownership, and enjoys figuring things out, we'd love to meet you.
