Job description

Intermediate Bookkeeping Associate

accountrain is a growing bookkeeping and accounting firm serving long-term clients across a range of industries, including not-for-profit organizations. We are based in both Ottawa and Toronto and are looking to add an Intermediate Bookkeeping Associate to our contractor team.

This role is ideal for someone who takes pride in their work, does the right thing, and cares about excellence.

How this role works

All bookkeepers at accountrain work as independent contractors. The role starts part-time (around 20 hours per week) and grows over time as new clients come on. This will always remain a contracted position.

You must be based in or around Ottawa or Toronto. Most work is remote, with occasional local on-site visits, usually no more than once per week, and a few in-person meetings throughout the year. A reliable home office setup is required, including a computer, and reliable internet access.

What you will be doing

You will support several clients and be responsible for day-to-day bookkeeping and month-end processes. Some clients require project or fund-based tracking.

Your work will include:

• Full-cycle bookkeeping
• Payroll, both manual and third-party
• Government remittances
• Month-end entries and reporting
• Year-end preparation support
• Some project or fund-based tracking

Experience we are looking for

• Bookkeeping certificate or equivalent hands-on experience
• Strong working knowledge of QuickBooks Online
• Experience with other bookkeeping or accounting tools is an asset
• Solid Excel skills
• Ideally 3 to 5 years of practical bookkeeping experience

We are happy to train and invest in the right person and are looking for someone who wants to grow with us over the longer term.

The kind of person who does well here

Skills matter, but values matter more. We are looking for someone who:

• Does the right thing, even when no one is watching
• Takes pride in accurate, fair, and ethical work
• Holds themselves to a high standard and cares about doing excellent work
• Is detail-oriented, reliable, and organized
• Communicates clearly and professionally with clients
• Works well independently while being part of a team
• Is open to learning and improving over time

Compensation

Please include your desired starting hourly rate when applying.

The interview process will include practical testing.

Looking forward to meeting you

• The accountrain team
