Job Description
Our Journey at Keep
At Keep, we embarked on a mission with a powerful question: Why hasn’t the banking experience caught up with the rapid pace of technology?
This continues to fuel our passion for reshaping the Canadian fintech landscape. We provide businesses with a comprehensive suite of cross-border banking services, offering everything from credit cards to deposit accounts, currency conversions, and revenue financing.
With a team of seasoned global startup veterans with successful exits, Keep is committed to leading the charge as Canada’s next-generation fintech institution. Backed by VCs in the fintech sector, we’re racing ahead, expanding our reach and impact like never before.
About the Role
At Keep, we’re building the future of cross-border banking for Canadian businesses — and our Finance team is the backbone that keeps everything running accurately behind the scenes. As our Junior Accountant, you’ll own the day-to-day accounting tasks that keep our books clean and our close process on track.
This role is for someone who has a solid accounting foundation, loves getting the details right, and wants to grow inside a fast-moving fintech. You’ll start by mastering our core recurring tasks — invoice processing, month-end closing data entry activities, and reconciliations — and over time, you’ll take on more analytical work and help us improve and automate how we operate.
If you’re early in your accounting career and excited about working in a high-volume, dynamic environment, this is where you want to be.
Who We’re Looking For
Currently studying or recently graduated in Accounting
Basic knowledge of accounting principles (GAAP), including accruals, prepaids, and journal entries; experience with invoice processing, reconciliations or month-end close is a plus
Strong Excel skills, you use it every day without thinking twice
Detail-oriented and organized, you catch mistakes before they become problems
Proactive and eager to learn, you don’t wait to be told what to do next
English proficiency is a must
Experience with accounting tools like QuickBooks is a bonus, but not required
Key Responsibilities
Accounts Payable: Accurately review and process vendor invoices on time, manage internal team approval requests, and ensure timely payments are scheduled.
Journal Entries: Record payroll, prepaid expenses, depreciation, and other recurring data-entry activities.
Reconciliations: Support monthly reconciliations and help maintain clean, accurate books.
Transaction Categorization: Import and categorize expenses across accounts.
Monthly Close Support: Assist the Finance team with close activities, reporting, and tax support.
Process Improvement: Once you’re settled in, identify opportunities to improve or automate operational workflows and bring those ideas to the table.
Why You Should Be Excited About This Role
You’ll get real exposure to fintech accounting — high transaction volumes, multi-currency operations, and US/Canada tax structures.
This role grows with you. What starts as foundational accounting work will evolve into more analytical responsibilities as you build context and confidence.
You’ll work directly with our Finance lead, learning from someone deeply embedded in how these operations were built.
You’ll be part of a multicultural, fast-moving team where your attention to detail directly impacts how we operate.
You’re joining at a key moment in Keep’s growth — the things you build and improve today will shape how we work tomorrow.
Why Join Keep?
We’re obsessed with building smart, scalable solutions — and we actually implement the ideas that come from the team.
Be part of a team that’s rewriting the playbook for Canadian fintech.
Embrace a fully inclusive, remote-friendly culture that values diversity and work-life balance.
We move fast, but we move together — collaboration and trust are core to how we operate.
Flexible working hours with at least 5–6 hours of overlap with Eastern Time.
Why This Might Not Be a Good Fit
If you don’t have an accounting background — administration, business, or economics alone won’t cut it for this role.
If you’re looking for a pure reporting or analysis role from day one — the first months are heavily operational, and that’s intentional.
If you prefer highly structured, step-by-step guidance for every task — we value autonomy and learning by doing in a fast-paced environment.
If you don’t enjoy repetitive, detail-focused work a big part of this role is ensuring accuracy and consistency in day-to-day processes
