About Us
Enkel is a cloud-based accounting and financial operations firm serving 300+ Canadian businesses and not-for-profits. Our mission is simple: deliver accurate, timely, and decision-ready financials so our clients can build stronger organizations.
We believe great financial reporting should do more than check compliance boxes. It should help leaders make better decisions, grow their organizations, and create meaningful impact.

You will lead financial strategy for your clients while also mentoring and guiding our internal accounting team. Your work will directly impact how our clients plan, grow, and make critical decisions.
This role offers the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with non-profit leaders, entrepreneurs, and business owners, helping them translate financial data into insight and action.

- Identify root causes of issues and implement improvements that elevate quality
Team Leadership & Enablement
- Lead and mentor a team of bookkeepers and senior accountants
- Provide coaching, technical guidance, and structured feedback
- Host regular office hours for technical escalations
- Drive accountability and elevate delivery standards across the team
- Support the development and growth of team members
Client Success & Growth
- Serve as the primary financial lead for your client portfolio
- Build trusted relationships with business owners, executive teams, and non-profit leaders
- Respond to client communication within one business day
- Resolve escalations quickly and professionally
- Collaborate with Sales and Client Success during onboarding
- Identify opportunities where Enkel can provide additional value to clients
What You Bring
