Senior Bookkeeper / Accounting TechnicianJob Summary

We are looking for a highly capable Senior Bookkeeper / Accounting Technician to join our accounting office in Halifax. This is a full-cycle client bookkeeping role for someone who can take ownership of files, think critically, identify problems, and prepare clean, reliable bookkeeping records for review and year-end work.

The right candidate will be confident working with multiple client files, spotting errors, cleaning up messy bookkeeping, asking thoughtful questions, and completing work with accuracy and accountability. We are looking for someone who reduces review time, protects the quality of client files, and takes pride in producing clean, professional work.

Candidates should be prepared to complete a practical skills-based assessment as part of the hiring process.

Key Responsibilities

Manage full-cycle bookkeeping for multiple small business clients
Review bank feeds and transaction coding for accuracy
Complete bank and credit card reconciliations
Maintain accounts receivable and accounts payable records
Review and clean up HST-related accounts, including HST Payable and HST Suspense
Prepare month-end and year-end bookkeeping files for review
Record adjusting journal entries when appropriate
Review balance sheet accounts for accuracy, reasonableness, and cleanup items
Communicate file issues clearly and professionally
Maintain organized notes, working papers, and client follow-up lists

The ideal candidate does not simply enter transactions. They know how to review a file, identify issues, and move the work forward. They understand that good bookkeeping is not just about coding expenses — it is about making sure the financial records are accurate, supportable, and ready for review.

You should be comfortable dealing with real-world bookkeeping issues such as:

Customer deposits posted incorrectly to sales
Invoices still sitting in accounts receivable after payment
HST Suspense balances that need investigation
Asset purchases and loans recorded incorrectly
Personal expenses mixed into business accounts
Prepaids, loans, shareholder accounts, and year-end cleanup items
Files where the prior bookkeeping was incomplete or inconsistent

Required Skills and Experience

Practical bookkeeping or accounting technician experience
Strong working knowledge of QuickBooks Online
Experience with bank reconciliations and credit card reconciliations
Understanding of accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll, and HST
Ability to review and clean up balance sheet accounts
Ability to identify incorrect coding and explain why it is wrong
Comfortable working with multiple client files and deadlines
Strong attention to detail and ability to document work clearly
Good written and verbal communication skills
Professional judgment and accountability

Preferred Experience

Experience working in an accounting firm, bookkeeping firm, or multi-client environment
Experience preparing files for year-end review
Experience with Wagepoint or similar payroll software
Experience with QBO, Sage, Xero, Dext, or other bookkeeping platforms
Experience reviewing HST filings or GST/HST-related accounts
Experience cleaning up messy client bookkeeping files

What Success Looks Like in This Role

A successful person in this role will be able to:

Take ownership of assigned client files
Keep reconciliations current and accurate
Identify bookkeeping issues before they become larger problems
Prepare clean files for review
Reduce the amount of rework required by management

Position Details

Position type: Full-time
Hours: 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday
Pay range: $26.00–$34.00 per hour, depending on experience, skill level, and assessment results
Location: Halifax, Nova Scotia
Practical assessment required as part of the hiring process

Why Join Us

This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants to do meaningful bookkeeping and accounting technician work in a professional office environment. You will work with a variety of small business clients and play an important role in keeping their books accurate, organized, and ready for review.

We value people who care about quality, take pride in their work, and want to be trusted with responsibility. If you are a capable bookkeeper who can think through a file, identify problems, and produce accurate work, we want to hear from you.

Pay: $26.00-$34.00 per hour
