About Us

We're a small Canadian bookkeeping and advisory firm with a remote team. We're hiring experienced bookkeepers to carry their own client portfolios.

About the Role

This is a portfolio role, not a task queue.

You'll own the monthly bookkeeping for a set of small business clients: reconciliations, month-end close, sales tax and remittance checks, and clean financials delivered on time. You'll work from a structured close checklist, and your work is reviewed before it goes out.

What You'll Do

• Run month-end closes for multiple clients in QuickBooks Online
• Reconcile bank, credit card, loan and clearing accounts to source statements
• Prepare Canadian GST/HST and PST filings and tie remittances to the tax account (we'll train you on the Canadian rules)
• Keep payables and receivables clean and match payments properly
• Ask clients clear, specific questions and follow up until the file is complete
• Log your time accurately and flag scope or hours issues early

Who You Are

• Firm-trained. You've carried several unrelated clients at once, not one company's books.
• Accurate. A reconciliation that's off by $0.02 isn't done.
• Independent. You work through a file without daily direction and ask focused questions.
• Clear. Your notes and client questions don't need a follow-up to be understood.

Must-Haves

• 3+ years of full-cycle bookkeeping for multiple clients at an accounting or bookkeeping firm (in-house only experience is not a fit)
• VAT or sales tax returns for clients
• Strong QuickBooks Online or Xero skills
• Month-end close and reconciliation experience, including clearing accounts
• Excellent written English
• Available full-time, Monday to Friday, 6 PM to 2 AM South Africa time (night shift)
• Reliable internet, quiet workspace, and backup power and internet
• References we can speak with

Nice-to-Haves

• Canadian or US clients
• Payroll remittance reconciliation
• Cleanup or catch-up engagements
• ICB bookkeeping qualification, or SAIPA or SAIBA membership
• QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor certification

Software

If you have experience with any of the following, note it in your application:

• QuickBooks Online (QBO)
• Double (formerly Keeper)
• Dext or Hubdoc
• Plooto
• Gusto or Wagepoint
• Jobber, Workiz, or Knowify
• Excel or Google Sheets (formulas and lookups)

Compensation: Based on experience. Share your expectations in your application.
