bookkeeper

*ABOUT US*

Miranda CPAs is a small boutique accounting firm in Mississauga, Ontario. We give small and mid-size businesses timely, reliable financial information by combining up-to-date accounting software with the experience of our professional staff. We offer full-cycle bookkeeping, payroll, accounting and compilation reporting, business consulting, and corporate and personal income tax services.

*About the role*

We're looking for a Bookkeeper to join our team. Your work is the foundation our accountants build on. When your reconciliations are accurate and your work is on time, our accountants can deliver financial statements, tax filings and advice to clients on schedule. You don't need to know everything on day one. You do need to be solid in the fundamentals, careful with your work, and willing to ask the right questions to get things done correctly the first time.

This is a full-time position. We process all client source documents in our office, so the role is fully on-site.

*What you'll do*

• Full-cycle bookkeeping for a range of small-business clients, including journal entries and checking that transactions make sense
• Bank, credit card and general ledger reconciliations
• Payroll processing and remittances, plus GST/HST and WSIB filings
• Supporting year-end work, including T4s and T5s
• Preparing clean, organized files for our accountants to review
• Responding promptly to client requests and, with guidance, dealing with CRA on routine payroll, HST and business number matters
• Other related work as the firm's needs change

*What we're looking for*

• 2+ years of hands-on bookkeeping experience (public accounting firm experience is an asset)
• Graduate of an accounting or bookkeeping program, or equivalent experience
• Working knowledge of QuickBooks Online and/or Desktop and Microsoft Excel (Sage 50 and Intuit ProFile are assets)
• A working understanding of GST/HST, payroll source deductions and bank reconciliations
• Strong attention to detail. You check your own work before handing it off.
• Reliability with deadlines, and the judgment to raise a problem early rather than late
• A team-first attitude. You take feedback well and know when to ask for guidance.

*How we work*

We're a small team, and our clients rely on us to get things right. Errors in bookkeeping and compliance filings cost our clients real money, so we hold a high standard for accuracy and give direct feedback. If you take pride in precise work and want to be somewhere that work is noticed, you'll fit in well here.

We're also upfront about our hiring process. Shortlisted candidates will complete a short practical bookkeeping exercise during the interview, and we check references.

*Where this role can lead*

We want to grow people, not just fill a seat. As you show accuracy and reliability, this role can grow into:

• Senior Bookkeeper responsibilities, with your own client portfolio
• Exposure to compilation engagements, financial statement preparation and personal and corporate tax work

*What we offer*

• Participation in our annual performance bonus program
• Free on-site parking
• Office within walking distance of public transit
• Monday to Friday schedule with Saturdays required during tax season
