About JCL Strategies

We’re JCL Strategies, a Canadian cloud-based bookkeeping firm that helps small businesses stay financially organized and ahead of the curve. Most of our clients are in the construction and service industries, and they rely on us to keep their books clean, accurate, and easy to understand.

We’ve built detailed systems, SOPs, and step-by-step checklists for the work we do. We believe great bookkeeping comes from great processes.

The systems are already built. We need someone who can follow them carefully, notice when something doesn’t look right, investigate before making assumptions, and ask questions when there isn’t enough information to move forward confidently.

We’re a team that values accuracy, accountability, communication, and continuous learning. We don’t expect you to know everything. We do expect you to be resourceful, follow instructions, ask valuable questions, and take ownership of your work.

About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced bookkeeper who genuinely enjoys the details of bookkeeping.

You’re probably the person who notices when a number doesn’t match, a receipt is missing, or something just doesn’t make sense. You don’t guess to get a task off your list. You stop, investigate, check the process, and figure out what information you need.

You’re also comfortable working within established systems. We have SOPs and processes for a reason, and being able to follow them accurately is an important part of this role.

This is a fully remote position with fixed hours. Our clients depend on us, and our team works together throughout the day. You’ll need to be comfortable working independently, managing your workload, researching answers when needed, and communicating with your teammates when you’re stuck.

Who We're Looking For

You'll be a great fit if you:

- Have at least 2 years of full-cycle bookkeeping experience
- Have hands-on experience using QuickBooks Online and Dext
- Have exceptional attention to detail
- Follow written instructions carefully




- Notice discrepancies instead of working around them
- Are comfortable investigating a problem before asking for help
- Know when you don’t have enough information and need to ask a question
- Communicate clearly and professionally
- Can manage your own workload while working remotely
- Are open to feedback and willing to learn
- Take pride in producing accurate, high-quality work

Responsibilities

- Process and review receipts in Dext
- Match, add, and transfer bank transactions in QuickBooks Online
- Request missing receipts or information from clients through Double
- Maintain accurate and organized bookkeeping records
- Identify and investigate discrepancies
- Follow JCL's SOPs, checklists, and internal processes
- Research answers when appropriate and escalate questions when needed
- Complete work accurately and on time
- Communicate with clients and the team as needed

- QuickBooks Online

We'll train you on:

- Double

Our Hiring Process

We believe the best hiring decisions come from seeing how someone actually works, not just how well they interview.

Round 1: The application & follow up questions. We’ll review your bookkeeping experience and your responses to the application questions. Some of the questions are designed to help us understand how you think, follow instructions,



and approach real bookkeeping situations.

Round 2: A virtual interview. We’ll get to know each other, talk about your experience, and work through a few scenarios together. You may be asked to review a short process, explain how you’d approach a problem, or show us how you’d find an answer you don’t already know.

Round 3: A paid working interview. You’ll complete bookkeeping tasks using QuickBooks Online and Dext that are similar to the work you’d be doing in this role.

We’ll provide the processes and instructions you need. We’re interested in more than whether you arrive at the right answer. We want to see how you follow instructions, notice details, investigate problems, use the information available to you, and recognize when you need to ask a question.

Ready to Apply?

If you enjoy bookkeeping, like working within clear systems, notice the little things, and would rather investigate something than guess, we’d love to hear from you.

Attention to detail matters a lot in this role. When answering the application question “Is there anything else you’d like us to know?”, please include the word “reconcile” somewhere in your response.

Pay: From $19.00 per hour

Benefits:

- Casual dress
- Dental care
- Disability insurance
- Life insurance
- Work from home

Application question(s):

- A $147.82 Home Depot transaction is sitting in the QBO bank feed, but there’s no receipt in Dext. Based on the information available, how would you handle the transaction? In 3 sentences or less.
- Is there anything else you’d like us to know?
- How many years have you been using Dext? Walk us through what you review on a receipt before publishing it to QuickBooks Online.
- How many years have you been using QBO? Name three QBO tasks you could confidently complete today without instructions or assistance.
- What interests you in working remotely?
