• You’ll process bi-weekly payroll and support payroll source deductions, government remittances and union dues.
• You’ll maintain accurate accounting records across multiple operating entities and sets of books.
• You’ll complete bank, general ledger and account reconciliations while supporting HST preparation and remittances.
• You’ll contribute to month-end close activities and ensure accurate, timely financial information.

 

Skills and Qualifications

• 3+ years of hands-on, full-cycle bookkeeping or accounting experience, ideally within a small-to-medium-sized organization.
• Strong experience with AP, AR, payroll, HST, reconciliations and government remittances.
• Experience processing payroll for an established workforce, with unionized payroll experience considered an asset.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to independently manage competing priorities and deadlines.
• A proactive, dependable approach and willingness to take on a broad range of accounting responsibilities.
