Cloud Bookkeeper

at  Boost CPA

* Please Note! This position is not open for applicants located outside of Canada, or for offshoring/outsourcing companies *

THE COMPANY

We are Boost CPA - a young & growing online CPA firm specializing in outsourced accounting department services for small- to mid-size organizations, with most clients having between $1M - 12M in annual revenue. We integrate with our client teams and provide professional bookkeeping, Accounting Manager, Controller, and CFO services to organizations that would otherwise not have the benefit of a full accounting team on their roster. Our team is growing once more, and we are seeking an experienced Part-Time Cloud Bookkeeper to grow with us!
You will work in a firm focused on helping small- to mid-sized organizations improve their processes, take accounting stress off their minds, and gain valuable insights into their financial performance. All of this is possible because of you and the team’s accurate & timely work, and your dedication to great client service.

THE ROLE

This remote position will focus on:

• updating client financials on a weekly basis using QBO & Dext predominantly,
• performing payroll for review & processing,
• AP & AR reconciliations & support with these cycles, such as invoice creation, AR payment requests, AP payment batch creation, etc.
• being a main point of client communication, and helping to plan & implement process improvement,
• other standard full-cycle accounting duties.

Our excellent Accounting Manager and Controller will work with you and support you, and you will always have the bookkeeping team to lean on for questions and support. The company is based in the beautiful Comox Valley on Vancouver Island, but our team and clients are spread-out around BC.
This position would suit someone with previous cloud bookkeeping experience and a proven ability to use the various tools and integrations with accounting software. We mainly use Quickbooks Online and Dext, but you may also find yourself using tools such as Xero, Plooto, Float, Wagepoint, Payworks, Loom, Scribe, or others as well. Experience in these specific platforms is an asset, but not required. What is required however, is a natural curiosity and willingness to learn! Skills can be taught, curiosity cannot!
We are looking for someone who is diligent, accountable, and able to manage their own workload; we won’t micromanage you or your schedule. The position is considered 20 - 25 hour/week role based on the immediate client load for the role. However, it can grow in scale for the right candidate as the firm grows over time. There is plenty of flexibility to arrange your workdays to best suit your life’s needs and the client’s workflows, as discussed below.

Boost CPA values your time and your work and knows that success comes from a motivated and happy team. We offer competitive hourly wages for your work, and the opportunity for your career to grow as the company grows. For the right candidate, this position could expand into additional weekly hours and client engagements, growing compensation and responsibilities, etc. But if you’d prefer to stay at or around 20-25 hours/week instead, that’s ok too! We respect that and have no problem building out our team around talented & dedicated part-time staff.

• Hourly wage $26 – $28 per hour, 20 - 25 hours/week
• Annual profit-sharing pool to be shared with other team members
• Flexible schedule to fit your life. All we ask is that client deadlines are met (ie for processing client payroll, monthly close schedules), and that you manage your workload to stay on top of things. Targeted to work 80% of weekly hours in the 8am – 5pm PST range, so that we can be responsive to client requests and so that we are “there” when our clients are working.
• Paid professional development time & training stipend for approved courses
• Cell phone plan reimbursemen

We believe the person that will have the most success in this role will be a person who:

• Has a keen interest in entrepreneurship and small business – we’re a small business ourselves, after all!
• Is naturally curious and not afraid to ask questions when things look weird.
• Has cloud bookkeeping experience. Extra points for experience in a multi-client environment.
• Having any of the following educational background is an asset: accounting diploma, business school diploma/degree, bookkeeping certificate, etc.
• Is organized, diligent, and unafraid of a challenge – but also not afraid to ask for help when needed
• Is reasonably tech savvy and interested in ongoing learning. We always want to hear new ideas for how to do things better!
• Is open to flexible working and managing their own time and client expectations.
• Is excited about the opportunity to work with and learn about clients in a variety of Industries – hospitality, construction, professional services, not for profit, etc.
• Has reviewed our website and thinks that we would be a good fit for you, and that you’d be a good fit with us
