$80,000–$90,000 + Bonus

Full-Time, In-Office

Your new company

Our client is an established and highly regarded privately owned business operating within the creative and professional services sector. Based in Toronto, the company works with a longstanding client base and has built an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality, bespoke projects.

You will be joining a collaborative and entrepreneurial organization with a well-established team, strong employee tenure and a positive working environment.

Your New Role

As Bookkeeper you will take ownership of the day-to-day accounting and financial administration of the business, working closely with the Controller and wider management team.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing accounts payable and accounts receivable
• Processing prepayments, deposits and overhead expenses
• Preparing bi-weekly supplier cheque runs

• Responding to AP and AR inquiries
• Managing bi-monthly payroll and personnel administration, including annual T4s
• Supporting monthly and annual financial administration and reporting
• Supporting the implementation and ongoing use of Studio Designer
• Building strong client relationships and confidently following up on outstanding payments

You will initially work closely with the Controller, receiving training and gradually assuming greater responsibility for the accounting function. With the current Controller planning to retire within approximately two years, there is a clear opportunity for this position to progress into the Controller role.

What You’ll Need to Succeed

You will ideally bring:

• Approximately 8–10+ years of bookkeeping or accounting experience
• Strong AP, AR, billing and general bookkeeping knowledge
• Experience within interior design, architecture, engineering, fashion, retail or another project/purchasing-based environment
• Experience with Studio Designer or an interest in learning the system
• Strong communication, organizational and time-management skills
• Confidence dealing directly with clients and following up on outstanding payments
• Strong judgement, critical-thinking and problem-solving skills
• The ability to work independently in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment
• A diplomatic but confident approach when working with creative professionals
• The potential and desire to take on greater responsibility as the position develops

A CPA designation is not required.

What you’ll get in return

• $80,000–$90,000 base salary
• Performance-based bonus
• 35-hour work week, Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
• Additional hours above 35 paid at straight time
• 3 weeks’ vacation
• Health and dental benefits available
• Typically 2–3 additional days off over the Christmas period, although these are not guaranteed
• The opportunity to work within an established and respected luxury design business
• A genuine opportunity to progress into a Controller position as responsibilities transition over the next two years
