Accounting, Accounting & Finance, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Bookkeeping, Financial Operations, General Ledger Accounting, Payroll The Position Royal York Property Management is seeking an experienced Senior Bookkeeper to maintain accurate, complete, and well-supported financial records across multiple companies and legal entities. The person hired will be responsible for reconciliations, general-ledger maintenance, GST/HST accounting, payroll entries, intercompany transactions, month-end support, and internal financial reporting.

We are looking for someone who can independently maintain reliable books and provide management and external accountants with organized, review-ready financial information. How the Hiring Process Works Applications are reviewed based on Canadian bookkeeping experience, education, systems knowledge, and the level of accounting responsibility held in previous roles.

Candidates selected for screening will receive an email within one to two business days with a link to complete a pre-recorded interview. The interview will assess full-cycle bookkeeping, GST/HST, payroll accounting, reconciliations, intercompany activity, month-end procedures, QuickBooks Online, and practical accounting judgment. Candidates who meet the required standard may be invited to a live interview.
