Job Overview:

Our client is seeking a highly skilled, independent Senior Bookkeeper to take complete ownership of the financial records for an E-commerce business operating across Canada and the United States. The initial focus will be an extensive forensic cleanup and reconciliation of a 2-year backlog (2024–2025), specifically fixing complex payment gateway data and Canadian tax mappings. To ensure a seamless onboarding, the candidate will receive a direct business context and systems walk-through from the outgoing staff to grasp specific company rules and history before completely taking over the account.

Schedule:

• Monday - Friday, 5:00 AM - 9:00 AM EST (20 work hours per week)

Responsibilities:

• Quickly absorb existing business rules, system setups, and specific company workflows from the outgoing staff without disrupting ongoing daily tracking.
• Review, identify, and resolve historical data errors from 2024–2025. Specifically fixing duplicate entries, unmatched invoices (e.g., Orthoflex payments), un-categorized sales income, multi-currency suppliers' bills (USD/CAD/EUR/CHF), reviewing categorization rules, cleaning up customers and suppliers lists, and solving inventory value issues. Must be able to independently identify and correct errors.
• Confidently manage and correctly reconcile e-commerce transactions, ensuring proper categorization of PayPal fees, currency shifts (USD/CAD), and merchant payouts.
• Review and implement accurate accounting for Import Tax Recollections (ITCs), ensuring GST/HST/PST mappings are completely audit-ready and legally compliant.
• Manage the regular bookkeeping cadence with extreme precision, minimizing errors and eliminating the need for constant client supervision.

Requirements:

• Over 5 to 7 years of solid bookkeeping experience, with a proven track record of handling "messy" data and intensive financial cleanup projects independently.
• Strong working knowledge of Canadian business legislation, sales taxes, import duties, and GST import reclaim.
• Advanced, high-level proficiency in QuickBooks Online and deep familiarity with third-party payment gateways (PayPal, Wix, Stripe/Synder, etc.).
• An analytical mindset capable of spotting intuitive reconciliation mismatches and implementing immediate, permanent ledger corrections.
• Excellent verbal and written English skills to efficiently absorb the company rules and communicate directly with management.

Independent Contractor Perks:

• Permanent work from home
• Immediate hiring
