Bookkeeper

Job Highlights:

  • Contract type: Independent Contractor
  • Schedule: Flexible during client business hours 8 AM to 4 PM Pacific
  • With potential to scale to full-time within 2–3 months as business continues expanding

 

Client Timezone: Pacific Time (Canada)

 

Client Overview: 

A rapidly expanding plumbing and heating contractor serving high-end clients across the Vancouver area. With bigger projects coming down the pipeline and significant business growth, they’re ready to professionalize their financial operations. You’ll have the unique opportunity to build financial systems from the ground up for a thriving trades business.

 

Job Description: 

You’ll be the financial backbone of a growing contractor who’s experiencing exciting expansion but needs organized systems to match their success. This isn’t about maintaining existing processes—you’ll create them. You’ll take a business owner who admits “I got nothing set up because I don’t know what I’m doing” and transform their financial chaos into streamlined operations. As the business scales with larger, more complex projects, you’ll grow alongside them, potentially transitioning from part-time to full-time as systems mature and volume increases.

 

Responsibilities:

  • Set up comprehensive financial processes and systems from minimal existing structure
  • Manage accounts payable including timely payments to subcontractors and suppliers
  • Perform daily bookkeeping tasks and maintain accurate financial records in QuickBooks
  • Balance books and perform regular account reconciliation
  • Generate profit and loss statements and financial reports for business decision-making
  • Organize and digitize scattered financial paperwork and documentation
  • Eventually assume invoicing responsibilities to fully remove administrative burden from owner
  • Follow up on outstanding invoices and manage receivables
  • Establish workflows that support the business’s transition to handling larger, more complex projects

 

Requirements:

  • Proven experience with QuickBooks software and bookkeeping fundamentals
  • Ability to create financial systems and processes where minimal structure currently exists
  • Strong experience with accounts payable and receivable management
  • Capability to work independently in a remote environment
  • Flexibility to grow with the business and transition from part-time to full-time hours
  • Bonus if you have experience with trades or contracting businesses
  • It helps if you’re comfortable organizing chaotic financial situations into streamlined operations

 

Why Join This Team?:

  • Build financial systems from scratch rather than maintaining someone else’s processes
  • Grow alongside a rapidly expanding business with high-end projects
  • Flexible schedule that can scale with your availability and the business needs
  • Work with a business owner who values delegation and professional growth
  • Remote work arrangement with a Canadian business owner who understands work-life balance
  • Opportunity to make a significant impact on a growing company’s success

 

Benefits

Independent Contractor Perks:

  • Permanent Work from Home
  • Immediate Hiring
  • Steady Freelance Job

 

Please note that since this is a permanent work-from-home position and an “Independent Contractor” arrangement, the candidates must have their own computer and internet connection. They will handle their own benefits and taxes. The professional fees are on hourly rates and the rate depends on your performance in the application process.
