Schedule:

• Monday - Friday, flexible within 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Mountain Time (20 work hours per week)

• Full-Cycle Bookkeeping: Perform daily accounts payable (via platforms like RBC Express or Pluto), accounts receivable, and payroll processing (ADP or QBO Payroll).
• Financial Reporting: Prepare monthly financial reports, including Profit & Loss statements and Balance Sheets, for review by management.
• System Accuracy: Ensure bookkeeping systems and financial records remain accurate, organized, and up to date.

Requirements

• Canadian Accounting Experience, with expertise in Canadian tax laws, CRA compliance, and specifically Alberta GST requirements.
• QuickBooks Online Mastery: Advanced proficiency and certification in QBO are required.
• Technical Familiarity: Experience with RBC Express, Pluto, or Amex for banking and expense management is preferred.
• Independent Problem Solver: Ability to work with minimal supervision and take initiative to identify and resolve discrepancies in a fast-paced environment.

Qualifications:

• Certified Bookkeeper or equivalent professional accounting designation.
