Dedicated to sustainable employment, we emphasize career opportunities and empowerment for Indigenous communities across Canada. Join us and contribute to building a more inclusive future.
The Role
GrizzlyTrek is seeking an experienced Contract Bookkeeper to support our internal finance function on a fully remote basis. This is a contract engagement built for a seasoned bookkeeper who is comfortable operating with controller-level judgment, owning the books end to end, and acting as a trusted financial partner to leadership.
You will run the day-to-day accounting cycle, lead month-end close, maintain accurate banking and general ledger records, build short-horizon receivables and payables forecasts, and coordinate directly with our external accountant on year-end and tax matters. This role is ideal for a detail-driven professional who wants steady, meaningful work with a growing Indigenous-owned staffing company, with the flexibility of a contract arrangement.
What You'll Do
Manage full-cycle accounts payable, including vendor invoice processing, coding, approvals, payment runs, and vendor account reconciliations
Manage full-cycle accounts receivable, including client invoicing, application of receipts, aging review, collections follow-up, and dispute resolution
Maintain and refine the chart of accounts to ensure accurate, consistent coding across departments, projects, and reporting segments
Process and reconcile all banking transactions, including deposits, withdrawals, transfers, credit card activity, and electronic payments
Perform monthly bank and credit card reconciliations, ensuring all activity is captured, coded, and tied out to source documents
Prepare and post month-end journal entries, including accruals, prepaid expenses, deferred revenue, depreciation, and other recurring close adjustments
Lead the month-end close process, including balance sheet account reconciliations, GL review, and preparation of internal financial statements
Build and maintain rolling AR and AP forecasts to support cash flow planning, working capital decisions, and short-term liquidity visibility
Provide fractional controller support, including internal reporting, variance analysis, cash flow oversight, internal controls, and process documentation
Coordinate with our external accountant on year-end working papers, tax filings, GST/HST remittances, and any audit or review engagements
Identify opportunities to streamline accounting workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and strengthen the financial operations of a growing business
What You Bring
5+ years of full-cycle bookkeeping experience, ideally including time spent in a controller, senior bookkeeper, or fractional finance role
Strong working knowledge of Canadian accounting practices, GST/HST, payroll source deductions, and standard month-end close procedures
Proven experience with QuickBooks Online or a comparable cloud accounting platform, including bank feeds, recurring entries, and reporting
Solid command of Excel or Google Sheets for reconciliations, forecasting, and ad hoc financial analysis
Demonstrated ability to maintain a clean, audit-ready general ledger and produce reliable monthly financial statements
Experience preparing AR and AP forecasts and providing cash flow visibility to ownership or leadership
Excellent attention to detail, organizational discipline, and the ability to manage deadlines independently in a remote setting
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to flag issues, ask questions, and present findings to leadership
Self-employed status with the ability to invoice GrizzlyTrek as an independent contractor
Preferred Qualifications
CPB (Certified Professional Bookkeeper) designation, or working toward a CPA, or equivalent senior bookkeeping credentials
Experience supporting a staffing, construction, oilfield services, or other project-based business
Familiarity with Western Canadian regulatory and tax environments, including Alberta payroll and WCB processes
Experience working alongside an external accounting firm on year-end engagements and tax compliance
Comfort working with an Indigenous-owned business and a values-driven leadership team
What We Offer
Competitive contract rate based on experience and scope of engagement
Fully remote work with flexible scheduling around your other commitments
Direct collaboration with the CEO and leadership team, with real influence on financial operations
