Job description

We are looking for an experienced and detail-oriented Senior Bookkeeper to monitor the finances of our growing company.

We have a small and dedicated team, and we are looking for someone who can flex in the work they do, who likes variety and being busy.

We work with great entrepreneurs every day, we feed off of their positive energy and the understanding that our operational work supports their success. But don’t take our positivity and “niceness” as a lack of drive, we are “all business” when it comes to supporting our clients and the company’s growth.

The work will cover the finance spectrum, you will do everything from report preparation to completing bi-weekly payroll for a small team. You show up everyday with a positive and professional attitude and are good with people at all levels of an organization. We have clients that live all over the world and we have both Canadian and US reporting so you have to be comfortable with exchange rates and working with different currencies.

This role is a remote, work from home position. You have to have the drive to excel working independently but the relationship skills to work well with your remote colleagues. Want to hit the gym during the work day? No problem – you can adjust your daily schedule around your workload and meetings to ensure a better integration of work and life.

You’re a master of everything you try- not because you’re great at everything, but because you don’t give up and you’re resourceful. Tech savviness is important, too. We need somebody who is extremely comfortable online and eats, sleeps, and breathes Google Sheets (and Excel). Our ideal candidate has three or more years of professional accounting experience with a track record for providing accurate and efficient work.
