About The Role

MoveSmart Rentals is hiring an experienced Senior Bookkeeper to maintain complete, accurate, and well-organized financial records across our Canadian operations.

MoveSmart Rentals is hiring an experienced Senior Bookkeeper to maintain complete, accurate, and well-organized financial records across our Canadian operations.

This is a full-cycle bookkeeping position supporting multiple companies and legal entities. The successful candidate will be responsible for daily transaction recording, bank and credit-card reconciliations, GST/HST accounting, payroll entries, intercompany transactions, general-ledger maintenance, month-end support, and internal financial reporting.

This is not a basic data-entry or invoice-processing role. We need someone who can independently investigate discrepancies, correct accounting issues, maintain reliable documentation, and ensure the books are accurate and ready for management and external-accountant review.

What to Expect After Applying

Every application is reviewed by our recruitment team.

Candidates whose background appears to align with the position will receive an email within one to two business days of applying with a link to complete a pre-recorded video interview.

The interview will assess your Canadian bookkeeping experience, GST/HST knowledge, reconciliation ability, accounting-system proficiency, judgment, and experience maintaining records across multiple companies.

Candidates who perform well may be invited to continue to the next stage of the hiring process.
