What You'll Step Into

This role is hands-on, fast-moving, and varied. You'll support multiple clients and gain exposure across bookkeeping, financial reporting, and tax, building a well-rounded foundation from day one.

  • Supporting accounts receivable and keeping client records clean and current
  • Preparing financial schedules, spreadsheets, and supporting documentation

  • Supporting tax slip preparation (Canadian and U.S.)
  • Interacting with the CRA and assisting with client correspondence
  • Jumping in wherever needed to keep things moving in a collaborative team

You're someone who is:

  • Detail-oriented and comfortable working with high volumes of financial data
  • Curious and eager to learn especially in a niche, high-interest industry
  • Organized and able to manage multiple priorities
  • Personable and professional, with strong communication skills
  • Trustworthy and discreet when handling confidential client information

What You Bring

  • Experience in bookkeeping, accounting, or a finance-related office role
  • Ability to manage multiple clients and competing priorities effectively
  • Strong technical skills in Excel and Microsoft Office
  • Clear and professional communication skills
  • High level of integrity and discretion with confidential information
  • Organized, accountable, and consistently dependable
  • Software experience with QuickBooks, CaseWare and/or Profile would be an asset
  • Experience with preparing corporate, personal, GST/HST and/or tax slips would be an asset

Why This Role Is Different

  • Direct exposure to the entertainment industry - work with a unique and high-interest client base
  • Meaningful responsibility early - contribute from day one, not years down the line
  • Boutique, high-performance environment - strong mentorship and close collaboration
  • Diverse, dynamic work - a varied client portfolio that keeps the work engaging
