- Leverage automation and AI features in accounting tools to reduce manual data entry and improve accuracy.
- Partner with the Group Financial Controller on process improvements and internal-control enhancements.

- Diploma/degree in Accounting or Finance, or equivalent work experience.
- Proficiency with QuickBooks and advanced spreadsheet skills (Excel / Google Sheets: pivot tables, VLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH).
- Knowledge of Canadian bookkeeping practices plus an understanding of Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises (ASPE).
- Familiarity with, or eagerness to learn, AI and automation-based accounting tools and workflows.
- Bring meticulous attention to detail and unwavering commitment to confidentiality.
- Clear, professional communication with both financial and non-financial stakeholders.
- Strong organization and time-management skills—able to meet recurring deadlines while handling ad-hoc requests.
- Comfortable working independently in a remote environment, using Slack, email, and video calls for collaboration.
Is This Role a Fit for You?
The Bookkeeper role calls for a detail-oriented, organized, and proactive individual. You’ll excel in this position if you:
- Enjoy maintaining a clean, reconciled ledger and quickly resolving discrepancies.
- Communicate proactively, keeping stakeholders informed without needing reminders.
- Appreciate clear processes yet look for practical ways to streamline them.
- Value autonomy, flexibility, and contributing to a mission-driven, remote-first team.
- Are curious about leveraging AI-powered or automated tools to boost efficiency and problem-solving—while keeping the human touch.
Benefits and Perks
- Enjoy a flexible schedule of full-time hours. As a remote-first organization, we care about the work you do, but it’s up to you to choose where and how you do it.
- Explore ongoing opportunities for professional development: training, conferences, certifications, and in-house peer mentorship.
- Experiment with new techniques, wear multiple hats and learn about new disciplines.
- Pursue independent projects, explore new ideas, and challenge yourself in your field with dedicated “Awesome time” (self-directed professional development) annually and quarterly training budgets.
- On top of standard medical and dental coverage, we offer benefits like a parental leave top-up plan, an EAP, mental health coverage, virtual healthcare and a minimum vacation policy.
- Additional perks are available including in-house mindfulness sessions, remote group get-togethers, and more!
- The Canada Base Salary Range for this role is $45,000 - $55,000 CAD. Orium lists this range in good faith, reflecting the expected base salary for this role in the specified locations as of this posting. The pay offered will depend on several relevant factors, such as education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, location, and business needs. Please note, this range does not include any benefits that may be included as part of the total compensation package.
Performance and Growth Expectations
We emphasize accountability for outcomes, but autonomy in activities. Your work will be measured across a number of data points (peer, leader & project team feedback) and will also be measured on the basis of client and user satisfaction. Your growth path is in your hands— you’ll have ongoing meetings with your leader to help determine your path, but your progress will be based on what you hope to achieve and how you choose to access the resources available to you.
Committed to an Inclusive Workplace
We are committed to fostering an inclusive and accessible environment as we build a workforce that reflects the diversity of the community in which we live, including those with disabilities. We are dedicated to providing accommodations in all parts of the hiring process in accordance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act and the Ontario Human Rights Code.
