Senior Bookkeeper

Senior Bookkeeper – Remote Opportunity

Are you a confident, detail-driven bookkeeper who loves helping small business owners thrive? At ARC CPA, we're looking for an experienced Senior Bookkeeper to join our team — someone who's as comfortable managing their own client portfolio as they are mentoring the bookkeepers around them.

About the Role

You'll manage a portfolio of 8 to 15 small business clients year-round, delivering hands-on bookkeeping support while helping guide the broader team. It's a great fit for someone who wants both the independence of a remote role and the chance to take on more responsibility.

While this role is remote. We require that the successful candidate live in Nova Scotia or is planning to relocate to Nova Scotia.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver full-cycle monthly bookkeeping and payroll for your client portfolio using QuickBooks Online (QBO), with support from your manager.
• Manage receivables and payables, reconciliations, general ledger maintenance, and government remittances.
• Process payroll accurately and on schedule.
• Review and approve bookkeeping and sales tax reports prepared by other team members.
• Coach and mentor team members, supporting their growth and development.
• Build strong, lasting client relationships as a trusted member of the ARC bookkeeping team.

Required Education and Experience

• Minimum 5 years' experience as a bookkeeper, using QBO, Sage, or Xero.
• Solid understanding of bookkeeping and payroll cycles for small businesses.

Skills That Make You a Strong Candidate

• Bookkeeping or payroll certification (an asset).
• Experience with full-cycle bookkeeping for small businesses, including working alongside year-end accountants.
• Exceptional attention to detail, with strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Excellent digital organization skills — we're a fully paperless firm.
• Confident, self-motivated, and comfortable managing your own workload in a remote, work-from-home setting.
• Genuinely excited to work with small business owners across Canada.

Why ARC CPA?

Join an experienced, motivated, and genuinely fun team of small business consultants. We offer:

• Four weeks of paid vacation.
• Health Spending Account.
• Performance incentives.
• Home office stipend, plus computer equipment and monitors provided.

You'll just need a distraction-free workspace with appropriate furnishings — we'll take care of the rest.

If you're passionate about bookkeeping and ready to make a real impact on small businesses across Canada, we'd love to hear from you. To apply, please email us at info@arccpa .ca with your resume and a 2/3 minute video describing a specific client or employer bookkeeping relationship you have had that you are proud of and what you did to earn that relationship.
