Job description

Origin Accounting & Advisory is expanding, and we’re looking for a skilled Senior Accountant to help us provide top-notch virtual accounting services to clients across Canada.

We’re a young, ambitious accounting firm with a strong focus on delivering high-quality work with efficiency—all while maintaining a healthy work/life balance. We believe in leveraging modern tools to work smarter and collaborate seamlessly.

Responsibilities:

• Client Coordination: You’ll be the go-to person for your clients, collaborating with them to collect financial details, address any concerns, and keep them informed.
• Full-Cycle Accounting: Manage all aspects of accounting, from general ledger entries and bank reconciliations to handling accounts payable/receivable and preparing financial statements.
• Mentor Junior Team Members: You’ll support and review the work of two junior team members.
• Drive Continuous Improvement: Constantly evaluate and improve our accounting processes, looking for ways to boost efficiency and accuracy.
• Stay on Top of Filings: Ensure government filings (GST, PST, and payroll deductions) are processed accurately and on time (we can teach you if it's your first time). You will not be doing tax preparation services.

What you need to succeed:

• Canadian CPA Designation is required.
• Ideally, you’ve worked in both public practice and industry, and you’re comfortable with the basics—like performing reconciliations and closing month-end.
• You’ve got a strong understanding of accounting principles and financial reporting, and you’re ready to apply it to real-world situations.
• You’re great at communicating and building relationships, whether you’re working with clients or collaborating with the team.
• You know how to spot discrepancies, dive into the numbers, and resolve issues efficiently and effectively.
• You’re proficient in accounting systems such as QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, and Sage 50. You’re also comfortable learning new software—since each client has different systems, being adaptable is key to success in this role.
• You're skilled in Microsoft Excel, including data analysis, advanced formulas, and pivot tables.

Why you’ll want to work with us:

• 100% remote work – see note below.
• Salary range $80,000-90,000 depending on experience
• Medical and dental benefits

*Although this is a remote role, we will only be considering applicants located in Canada, and those who are willing to work PST hours.

If you’re ready to make a difference and take the next step in your accounting career, we’d love to hear from you!
