Responsibilities

‍

Bookkeeping and General Ledger

• Maintain accurate financial records including general ledger entries and supporting documentation
• Perform full-cycle bookkeeping: accounts payable, accounts receivable, invoicing, payments, and expense reimbursements
• Reconcile bank accounts, credit cards, and balance sheet accounts on a regular cadence
• Analyze account activity, investigate variances, and resolve discrepancies

Financial Reporting

• Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements: balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow reports
• Update and maintain internal financial trackers in Google Sheets
• Support month-end and year-end close processes, on time, every time

Payroll and Tax Compliance

• Process payroll including entries, remittances, T4s, Records of Employment, and related filings
• Support tax compliance and filings: corporate, HST/GST, and payroll taxes
• Ensure all filings meet regulatory deadlines

Systems and Records

• Maintain organised electronic records: receipts, invoices, digital files, and compliance documents
• Use and maintain cloud-based accounting systems, primarily QuickBooks Online, alongside Google Sheets
• Ensure compliance with company policies, accounting standards, and regulatory requirements

Communication and Collaboration

• Communicate proactively with internal teams; updates sent before they are requested
• Surface problems early, with context and a proposed resolution
• Operate as a reliable, low-maintenance team member in a fully remote environment

What an A-Player Looks Like in This Role

• Output quality: Every reconciliation, report, and filing is clean before it reaches anyone else
• Ownership: When something in your area goes wrong, you surface it immediately, own it fully, and come with a fix
• Accuracy: You catch errors before they become problems
• Proactivity: You identify inefficiencies and propose improvements without waiting to be asked
• Systems thinking: You fix root causes, not symptoms
• Communication: Clear, structured, and specific (both written and verbal)
• Digital fluency: Tools are how you work, not a barrier you work around
• Values: You do the right thing when no one is watching

Who This Role Is For

• Someone who takes genuine pride in clean, accurate financial work
• Someone who operates with personal accountability
• Someone who is comfortable in ambiguity and moves without losing quality
• Someone who thrives in a remote, fully virtual environment
• Someone who wants to grow into more responsibility over time, with a real path to Controller
• Someone who finds startup culture energizing

Who This Role Is Not For

• Someone who needs significant direction to know what good looks like
• Someone who waits to be asked before flagging a problem
• Someone who is technically adequate but has no interest in growing
• Someone who finds fast-moving, remote environments stressful rather than motivating
