Mission / Role summary

Own accurate day-to-day bookkeeping across multiple legal entities, deliver timely reconciliations and HST filings, and support month-end close. You'll standardize processes, implement automation, and partner with leadership to make finance predictable and scalable as Mojo expands.

Key responsibilities

• Maintain full-cycle bookkeeping across sister companies: bank, credit card, and intercompany reconciliations.
• Record daily transactions and maintain clean supporting schedules and trial balances.
• Manage AP/AR workflows — vendor invoices, approvals, and bill payments via Plooto (or equivalent).
• Prepare and file GST/HST returns accurately and on time.
• Support month-end close activities and year-end prep for external reporting and audit.
• Publish receipts/invoices from Dext (or equivalent) into Xero / QuickBooks Online and keep automation pipelines healthy.
• Build and maintain reconciliation templates and automation (Google Sheets / Excel macros / light scripting where appropriate).
• Create and document SOPs, control checklists, and improvement plans to reduce errors and close time.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with operations, manufacturing, and CPG teams to reconcile payment platforms (Square, Stripe, Shopify), payroll systems, and inventory-related accounts.

Must-have

• 5+ years of full-cycle bookkeeping with exposure to multi-entity accounting (hospitality/retail is an asset).
• Practical, hands-on experience with Xero and/or QuickBooks Online.
• Solid knowledge of reconciliations, AP/AR, intercompany bookkeeping, and GST/HST rules.
• Experience using Dext (or similar invoice/receipt capture) and Plooto (or similar payment rails).
• Advanced Excel / Google Sheets capability (pivot tables, lookups, data-cleaning).
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage competing priorities across entities.

Nice-to-have

• Experience with food manufacturing, accounting or CPG reporting.
• Familiarity with Square / Stripe / Shopify / payment-platform reconciliations.
• Exposure to payroll platforms (Wagepoint, ADP) and preparing payroll-related accruals.
• Practical experience with AI-assisted workflows or automation tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot) to speed reconciliation and reporting.
• Prior work supporting franchise accounting or multi-location reporting.

What we offer:

• Salary: $55,000-$65,000
• 3-weeks holiday
• Extended health benefits package (medical, dental, vision, details provided at offer).
• Parking is included for on-site positions.
• Free meals while working + 20% off for you and up to 3 guests at our restaurant locations when not on shift.
• A modern, tech-enabled finance stack and a team that prioritizes process improvement and automation.
