Junior Accountant

Innovative public company headquartered in Vancouver and listed on the NASDAQ. Seeking a part-time Junior Accountant (equivalent to around 2 days a week, with flexibility on schedule) who will report into the Assistant Controller. Based in downtown Vancouver. This role can be contract, contract-to-permanent, or perhaps permanent.

Small public company based in Vancouver and listed on the NASDAQ, doing business in a very interesting and innovative tech area.

Reporting into the Assistant Controller, the Junior Accountant (part-time) will input invoices into the accounting system, prepare weekly reconciliation of accounts, and prepare wire transfers and electronic fund transfers within various banking systems on a weekly basis. During the month-end process, the Junior Accountant will update routine schedules to support the preparation of the monthly financial reporting. On a quarterly basis, the Junior Accountant will assist with tasks to support the filing of quarterly financial statements such as rolling forward documents, updating financial figures based on the month-end financial figures, and supporting with other ad hoc accounting tasks.

This role will likely be an approximately 3 month contract to start, with a good chance for extension or conversion to permanent. This is a great role for a University student, a busy parent, or someone with a “side hustle” looking for additional income. There is also opportunity for this role to be permanent from the get-go (in which case there would be a somewhat longer interview process) if the candidate is looking for part-time hours on long-term basis.

We are seeking candidates with a minimum of 1 year full-cycle accounting experience in a similar role, and ideally 2 to 5 years. Experience working for a publicly-listed company is an asset, but not required. Must have some form of post-secondary accounting education, and long-term pursuit of CPA is preferred. Candidates will have hands-on experience using a small or midsize accounting software such as Sage, QuickBooks, or Xero. Must have intermediate to advanced proficiency in Excel.

Headquartered in downtown Vancouver, close to rapid transit. Working from the office, not from home. The Junior Accountant can work 2 days a week or possibly more days a week but with shorter work days. There is flexibility based on the new Junior Accountant’s schedule- for example, the schedule could be 2x 8-hour days, 4x 4-hour days, etc.

Hourly rate commensurate with accounting-related work experience, skills, and education- likely in the range of $20 to $29 an hour. Plus 4% vacation pay, and stat holiday pay once eligible (under BC Labour Law).
