  • Maintain strict confidentiality of financial and employee data

Education:

  • Minimum college diploma or university degree in Accounting, Bookkeeping, or Business Administration (required)
  • Professional certification such as CPB (Certified Professional Bookkeeper) or equivalent designation is considered an asset

Experience:

  • Proficiency with accounting and payroll software systems and Microsoft Office applications
  • Strong understanding of journal entries, reconciliations, and HST compliance
  • Experience with payroll preparation and government remittances
  • Highly organized, deadline-focused, and able to manage multiple priorities
  • Detail-oriented, trustworthy, and capable of working independently

What We Offer

  • Competitive hourly wage ($26.00 – $32.00/hr, depending on experience)
  • Full-time weekday schedule (Monday–Friday)
  • Staff discount on store merchandise and feed
  • Supportive, family-run workplace with long-term stability
