Bookkeeper
About the role and the company hiring.
Remote · Full-Time · 6 PM to 2 AM South Africa Time
About Us
We're a small Canadian bookkeeping and advisory firm with a remote team. We're hiring experienced bookkeepers to carry their own client portfolios.
About the Role
This is a portfolio role, not a task queue.
You'll own the monthly bookkeeping for a set of small business clients: reconciliations, month-end close, sales tax and remittance checks, and clean financials delivered on time. You'll work from a structured close checklist, and your work is reviewed before it goes out.
What You'll Do
Run month-end closes for multiple clients in QuickBooks Online
Reconcile bank, credit card, loan and clearing accounts to source statements
Prepare Canadian GST/HST and PST filings and tie remittances to the tax account (we'll train you on the Canadian rules)
Keep payables and receivables clean and match payments properly
Ask clients clear, specific questions and follow up until the file is complete
Log your time accurately and flag scope or hours issues early
Who You Are
Firm-trained. You've carried several unrelated clients at once, not one company's books.
Accurate. A reconciliation that's off by $0.02 isn't done.
Independent. You work through a file without daily direction and ask focused questions.
Clear. Your notes and client questions don't need a follow-up to be understood.
Must-Haves
3+ years of full-cycle bookkeeping for multiple clients at an accounting or bookkeeping firm (in-house only experience is not a fit)
VAT or sales tax returns for clients
Strong QuickBooks Online or Xero skills
Month-end close and reconciliation experience, including clearing accounts
Excellent written English
Available full-time, Monday to Friday, 6 PM to 2 AM South Africa time (night shift)
Reliable internet, quiet workspace, and backup power and internet
