Bookkeeper

at  Aryze Developments Inc

Do you want to watch your community change, or do you want to be the one to shape it?
Because we’re hoping you’re here for the latter. Join Aryze as a Bookkeeper.Why Aryze?
Building communities is about more than simply building homes. That’s why we foster a strong vision for what a city can be—and act on it.
Recognized nationally for our innovative approach to development, Aryze is a dedicated team of home builders, urban planners and urbanists, all deeply committed to increasing the quality of communities across Greater Victoria and beyond. This approach has resulted in award-winning projects like: Pearl Block—missing middle townhomes on a challenging triangular lot; Rotunda—architecturally-significant condos in a neighbourhood with room to grow; and Tiny Homes—transitional housing units built from repurposed shipping containers for some of our community’s most vulnerable.
If you thrive in a collaborative environment where your ideas matter, join our growing team. Together, we’re city-building for the better.
Who are we?We are a local Victoria-based group of next-generation leaders trying to build homes, but really, we like to think of ourselves as entrepreneurs with an underlying goal of building better communities. What began with building a swim dock and a floating tree in the Gorge Waterway (and engaging in a political conversation or two) has grown into a mission: to demystify and disrupt the real estate industry by making room for more housing in Victoria neighbourhoods with room to grow.We believe that every neighbourhood should have diverse housing types and tenures for all incomes and demographics. A densified, compact, walkable lifestyle is critical to solving our climate and housing crisis; all while creating more livable and healthier communities.
While we bring a number of innovative infill development projects to market, Aryze’s earliest roots are in quality and unique construction. Our focus to build with the highest standards of craft, design and efficiency has distinguished our homes from others on the block.
