About Tandem Consulting
At Tandem Consulting (tandemconsulting.ca), we're a tight-knit crew of spreadsheet wranglers and financial storytellers. We balance precision with personality, offering boutique accounting services to small businesses with high-touch customer service —all while working virtually from coast to coast. We love autonomy, open Slack channels, and a healthy work‐life blend.

We are a small firm growing, and with that is the need for team members who are able to hustle, pivot quickly, and wear multiple hats. Tandem hires bookkeepers/accountants who want a challenge, willing to self learn, and has well-rounded experience in bookkeeping, accounting, analysis, and tax.

What You'll Do

You'll be the backbone of our financial operations across various client accounts:

  • Full‐cycle bookkeeping: A/R, A/P, bank reconciliations
  • Payables processing (with tools like Plooto and Float)
  • Payroll processing (with tools like Wagepoint)
  • Monthly and quarterly interim financial statements and analysis
  • HST, PST, EHT, WSIB returns and compliance filings
  • Year-end package preparation
  • Identify discrepancies and propose cleanups
  • Document workflows and SOPs and assist in other internal processes
  • Other administrative and ad-hoc analysis work as assigned
  • Respond to client emails and provide exceptional customer service

You'll work independently, collaborate in sync with our small team, and actively contribute to process improvements and client satisfaction.

Who You Are

  • Experience:
    • Senior Bookkeeper level: ~5+ years full‐cycle bookkeeping experience
    • Junior Accountant chops welcome if you're on a growth trajectory and have 2–3 years of experience
    • Experience and familiarity with Canadian payroll compliance
    • Prior experience in public accounting firms or bookkeeping for a portfolio of clients
  • Software skills:
    • Xero (we are a Xero-first firm) and QBO
    • Wagepoint, Plooto, Shopify, Dext, Hubdoc, Float and others
  • Qualities:
    • Impeccable attention to detail & organization
    • Strong work discipline and ethic coupled with excellent time management
    • Strong communicator, proactive in remote settings
    • Solid understanding of Canadian accounting and compliance
    • For full‐time: Not employed elsewhere, no side‐businesses
    • We look for grit and willingness to self-learn in our team members
    • Ability to investigate into issues with minimal direction
  • Qualifications:
    • Diploma or degree in accounting/business — or equivalent hands‐on experience
    • Desire for autonomy, but thrives in a small-team environment
    • Although we're a virtual firm, preference will be given to candidates located in Toronto, ON
    • Candidates must be eligible to work in Canada

Application Deadline: Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.

We appreciate the interest of all applicants, but only those selected for an interview will be contacted.

Tandem is an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. We encourage applications from individuals with culturally diverse backgrounds and members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community.
