READ BEFORE APPLYING: THIS IS NOT A "LIGHT" REMOTE GIG

• Effective Communicator: You don't hide behind screen names. You communicate clearly, directly, and proactively with clients and the team.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Take Full Ownership: Manage end-to-end full-cycle bookkeeping for a dedicated client portfolio without needing a babysitter.
• Solve E-Commerce Puzzles: Handle complex clearing accounts and integrations across Shopify, Amazon, Stripe, Etsy, and BigCommerce.
• Maintain Clean Books: Complete bank, credit card, and merchant reconciliations, AP/AR, and HST/GST filings with absolute precision.
• Deliver Insights: Produce pristine monthly reporting packages and communicate key metrics clearly to clients.

REQUIRED SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

• Deep understanding of e-commerce payment gateways, inventory workflows, and payout schedules.
• Fluent English (written and spoken) with elite communication skills.
• High-speed internet and a secure, up-to-date computer setup.

WHY JOIN US?

• Zero Micromanagement: We give you complete autonomy, provided you deliver high-level results.

HOW TO APPLY (IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS)

Follow that with 2–3 sentences explaining the biggest reconciliation mess you personally cleaned up and fixed. Applications missing this phrase will be discarded unread.
