Accounting Coordinator - Toronto, Canada - Ourboro

Description

Ourboro is looking for a detail-oriented, organized, and adaptable Accounting Coordinator to join our growing team.


The Company
Ourboro is an entirely new way to buy and own homes. We do this by solving the #1 barrier to home ownership - the down payment. We invest up to $250K in our customer's homes. It's not a loan, so there is no interest and no additional debt. Instead, as a partner, we buy a share of the future value of the home.

Once our customers move in, we offer programs and services to help preserve and increase the home's value. When it's time to sell, we participate in our fair share of the gains or losses.

Too many people are being priced out of the housing market because home ownership is currently all or nothing. We are here to provide an alternative.

Not everyone has access to a bank of Mom and Dad, and we want to be there for those who could use the extra backup, every step of the way.

The Role

Working with the Chief Operating Officer and our Director of Operations, our Accounting Coordinator is responsible for assisting in four key functions for our growing business: A/R, A/P, General Bookkeeping, and Fund Accounting.

You will maintain the integrity of our books, ensuring that our team has accurate and up-to-date information needed to make great decisions.

You will not be alone. You'll report to our Director of Operations and have access to a suite of tools, resources, and vendors.

You will have experienced advisors you can call on and a collaborative and supportive team, all the way up to the Executive Team.

This is a rare opportunity to come in early, build something from the ground up, and work directly with seasoned entrepreneurs who will support you along the way.

Desired Skills and Experience
As a rapidly growing company, we expect the road to recognition will be full of twists and turns.

To succeed in this role, you'll need to be prepared to take instructions and keep a detailed eye on our books.

We are looking for someone who is ready to start their career within a driven, caring community dedicated to your professional development.

To do this, we are looking for the following skills and experiences:

• Bookkeeping experience: you were actively involved in bookkeeping with at least one other small to medium-sized business. This could be through a post-secondary coop or internship program
• Fund accounting experience: you have had experience putting together data required to complete a NAVPU and preparing calculations of yearend distributions to investors
• Quickbooks Online: you have used Quickbooks Online, or similar accounting software, to record and classify inflows and outflows to the appropriate accounts.
• Actively pursuing CPA designation
• You are extremely detail oriented. You thrive on catching the small errors and mistakes and you get deep satisfaction from seeing the books balance.
• Adaptability as a young, growing company, our processes and requirements change sometimes even monthly. You'll need to be prepared to change with them.
• You operate with integrity, compassion, and transparency; both with customers and coworkers.
• You own up to your mistakes and are comfortable sharing what you've learned from them.
• You are passionate about the prospect of helping more people become homeowners.

Values

We value humans first - When you get to be exactly who you are at work, you shine. We think about how a person may respond to something that we create or share in every aspect of our business, from a conversation to a technology tool. We center our processes and solutions around the people they're meant to help.


We value human potential - Potential thrives when we feel safe and the people around us are confident in our abilities. We know everyone on the team is worth investing in. We choose to instill the confidence needed to fulfill that potential. No one is perfect. No one is a "finished product". There are always ways for us to stay humble and grow.


We value contribution - We are not a hands-off kind of team. Offering to lend a hand, or getting curious about a tangential project is part of our innate way of being. With that in m
