Job description

Level up your accounting career with GGFL! Go beyond the numbers.

At GGFL, our work is our pride, people are our strength, we embrace change and grow with it, and we work collaboratively.

At GGFL, we’re not your average accounting firm. Yes, we take our work seriously (tax laws require it!), but we also believe in having fun, supporting one another, and growing together. We’re proud of what we do, energized by who we work with, and always up for embracing what’s next.

We’re Ottawa’s go-to tax planning and accounting firm for successful business owners. Entrepreneurs and local leaders trust us to help them navigate complex financial territory—from audits to tax planning—with confidence, clarity, and a little bit of personality.

We’re seeking a seasoned Senior Accountant who’s comfortable diving into investment accounting, thriving in complex compilation engagements, and passionate about hands‑on bookkeeping. This role is supporting our niche client base of medical professionals.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Leading complex compilation engagements, including investment‑level reporting for professional corporation clients
• Managing bookkeeping end-to-end—accounts receivable, payable, reconciliations, and more
• Supporting investment accounting tasks—tracking capital calls, distributions, valuation schedules, and advisory support
• Preparing corporate financial statements and tax returns, ensuring clarity and compliance

WHY JOIN US?

This team supports doctors, dentists, and other healthcare providers—professionals who value trusted, long-term relationships. This client group offers complex and rewarding work, and the opportunity to develop niche expertise. You'll help clients navigate incorporation, tax strategy, succession planning, and practice growth, all while making a meaningful impact on those who care for others.

• Real impact. You’ll work directly with local entrepreneurs, making a meaningful difference in the community where you live.
• Your career, your way. We support your growth journey with structured development, coaching, and career pathing.
• Flexible time off. Generous PTO, bonus holiday week in December, and half-day Fridays in July and August!
• Paid Overtime – yup, you read that right.
• Free onsite parking – because who wants to pay for that?

What You Bring

• 3+ years in a public accounting firm, with strong work on complex compilation engagements
• Experience in investment accounting
• Excellent bookkeeping skills, including reconciliations, month‑ends, and financial operations
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• A feedback-friendly mindset and a willingness to grow
• A passion for helping clients thrive—and maybe even a love for spreadsheets (we won’t judge)

Let’s build something great together.
