Who We’re Looking For We’re looking for someone with strong accounting and bookkeeping fundamentals and the confidence to take ownership of client relationships from day one.

You’ll manage a portfolio of small and medium-sized businesses , handling the full accounting and bookkeeping cycle with the support of one bookkeeper. You’ll own the outcome — keeping the books accurate, ensuring clients are informed, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.

YOU’RE A GREAT FIT IF

• You have strong knowledge of accounting and bookkeeping fundamentals, including bank reconciliations, month-end close, working papers, and accruals such as deferred revenue, prepaid expenses, and fixed assets.
• You are highly proficient in QuickBooks Online (QBO) and Xero.
• You can manage sales tax, including GST and HST, end-to-end and ensure filings are completed accurately and on time.
• You’re comfortable working with fintech and accounting tools, including integrations, AP platforms such as Plooto or Ramp, Stripe, and Dext — and you’re confident figuring out new tools when needed.
• You can confidently explain a P&L, aging report, or other financial information to a business owner in clear, simple language, both in writing and on client calls.
• You have strong written communication skills and respond clearly and promptly.
• You actively use AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini to improve efficiency, automate repetitive work, and focus more on analysis and judgment.
• You’re comfortable working with Google Workspace.

THIS ROLE MAY NOT BE THE RIGHT FIT IF

• You prefer to work behind the scenes rather than interact directly with clients.
• You’re uncomfortable leading or participating in client calls.
• You’re not yet highly proficient in QBO or Xero.

NICE TO HAVE

• CPA designation.

What You’ll Get

• Real ownership over your client relationships and work.
• The support of one dedicated bookkeeper.
• The opportunity to work with a team actively building AI-powered accounting workflows and contribute ideas and improvements.
• A strong support structure with opportunities for professional growth.
