About Merriam Music

Merriam Music is one of Canada's premier music education and piano retail organizations, operating multiple campuses across the Greater Toronto Area, serving thousands of students annually. The Finance Team supports a multi-entity structure spanning music education (Canadian and US Divisions), piano retail, instrument service, and event production.

Reconcile the inventory clearing account each month
Prepare quarterly margining reports and lead the year-end inventory reconciliation
Coordinate with operations on shipment GL posting and undelivered inventory review

Revenue Recognition

Prepare and post monthly school revenue entries for the Canadian and US (MMOA) divisions
Manage deferred revenue mechanics for summer lessons, summer camps, examinations, and the August year-end roll-over to the new school year
Post entries for school instrument rental, school lesson and credit requests, and seasonal program revenue

Payroll Review and Compliance

Review payroll registers prior to transmission and post related journal entries
Calculate commissions and prepare commission continuity entries
Manage vacation pay accruals and reconcile the payroll clearing account

Maintain entries related to vehicle and travel cost tracking

Required Qualifications

Minimum 5 years of full-cycle bookkeeping experience, preferably in a multi-entity environment

Hands-on experience with Ontario payroll, WSIB, EHT, and CRA GST/HST filings

Advanced Microsoft Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, large data sets)
Demonstrated supervisory experience, or clear readiness to take on direct supervision responsibilities

Preferred Qualifications

CPA Professional Education Program (PEP) designation preferred
Experience working within an ERP platform in a multi-entity environment
Experience in a hybrid service and retail business with both recurring revenue and product sales
