About the Opportunity

Altis Recruitment is partnering with an established organization to find a hands-on Bookkeeper to join their team on a permanent, full-time basis. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, takes ownership of their work, and thrives in a smaller accounting environment where everyone contributes.

Working closely with a lean, collaborative accounting team, you’ll support the full accounting cycle across multiple operating entities. Your work will touch everything from payroll and invoicing to reconciliations and month-end, making this an ideal role for someone who enjoys seeing the full picture and being a trusted resource to the business.

What’s in it for You

You’ll join a close-knit environment where your experience and contributions will have a visible impact. The organization offers three weeks of vacation, health benefits, RRSP matching, and some flexibility around start and end times to support personal commitments.

Your Responsibilities

  • You’ll manage full-cycle bookkeeping/accounting - accounts payable and receivable, including high-volume invoice processing, customer invoicing and vendor payments.
  • 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.

Note from the Hiring Manager
