The Role

Our client is looking for a detail-oriented Bookkeeper to manage end-to-end bookkeeping for multiple Canadian clients, ensuring accurate records, timely reconciliations, and complete month-end closes.

• Canadian Payroll & Statutory Compliance: Process Canadian payroll transactions and manage statutory compliance filings (CPP, EI, and T4 summaries/slips).

• Payables & Receivables Oversight: Manage Accounts Payable workflows and monitor Accounts Receivable to help maintain healthy client cash flow.

• Management Close & Reporting: Execute complete month-end closes and draft published financial reports under the supervision of senior accountants.

• Proactive Client Communication: Serve as a direct, responsive point of contact for routine client inquiries, addressing operational needs and solving problems collaboratively.

Ideal Profile

• Education & Credentials: Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or equivalent practical experience.

• Public Practice Experience: Prior bookkeeping or accounting firm/BPO experience managing multiple client accounts.

• Cloud Tech Stack Mastery: Hands-on experience with Xero or QuickBooks Online (certification expected), alongside modern document collection tools like Double, Dext, and Hubdoc.

• High ownership mentality and exceptional attention to detail.

• Comfortable with repetitive monthly deadline cycles.

• An AI-first problem-solving mindset, proactive adaptability, and exceptional client empathy.
