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.

Position Summary

The Senior Bookkeeper is responsible for the full-cycle month-end close for Merriam Music's multi-entity operations. Reporting to the Senior Director of Operations and directly supervising the Accounting Clerk, this role sits at the heart of the finance department - bridging transactional bookkeeping with Controller-level review and producing a GAAP-ready trial balance each period.

Complete actual cost fields on sales orders, including freight, mileage, and import schedule values
Ship and invoice sales orders
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
Registered Professional Accountant (RPA) designation
Demonstrated ownership of month-end close - accountability for the close cycle and trial balance, not task-level execution alone
Strong reconciliation discipline across high-volume bank and merchant processor accounts

Inventory accounting experience in a retail or distribution business, including landed cost, serialized inventory, and inventory subledger reconciliation
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

Hybrid: Anchored at the Oakville head office, with 1–2 days of remote work per week
