About this role

Are you a tenacious financial professional who thrives in a diverse, dynamic environment? We are a national non-profit organization operating a unique portfolio across Canada, including conservation programs, working farms, environmental education initiatives, farm store and produce subscription operations,



and church engagement networks. With an annual revenue of approximately $3M-$3.SM and a high volume of transactions spanning multiple physical and digital locations, we are looking for a Bookkeeper & Accounting Lead to anchor our day-to-day accounting cycle.

This is not a standard corporate data-entry role. You will manage complex Canadian fund accounting, oversee multi-channel revenue streams {POS systems, grants, donations, and retail sales), and ensure flawless CRA compliance across our distinct programming sectors.

- Revenue Stream & POS Reconciliation: Record and track deferred program and capital revenue (accrual and recognition). Reconcile high-volume, multi-channel transactional data from POS platforms (Square), event management platforms (Eventbrite), and digital donor management tools (Keela/Stripe).
- Accounts Payable & Receivable: Oversee full-cycle AP and AR workflows across regional operations, ensuring accurate vendor management and timely cash flow tracking. Complete month end/ year-end bank and credit card reconciliations.
- Canadian Tax & CRA Compliance:



Track and manage GST/HST/PSTo bligations across multiple provinces, coordinate semi annual GST rebate filings
- Payroll & Benefits Administration: Process accurate semi-monthly payroll for salaried and contract staff distributed across multiple locations, including statutory source deductions (Payworks).
- Financial Reporting: Prepare monthly financial statements for the Operations Director
- Year-End Audit: Maintain audit-ready digital files; support the Operations Director during the annual audit and with the T3010 Registered Charity Information Return filing.
- Cross-Departmental Collaboration: Partner closely with the donor services/database team to align financial records with donation tracking; manage multi-stakeholder email communications clearly and professionally.
- Confidentiality: Maintain strict confidentiality of donor, employee, financial and other personal information in accordance with organizational policies and applicable privacy legislation.

Qualifications & Experience

- Experience: Minimum 5+ years of full-cycle bookkeeping or accounting management experience specifically within the Canadian not-for-profit sector.
- Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of Canadian ASPE (Accounting Standards for Non-Profit Organizations) and fund accounting restrictions.
- System Fluency: Highly proficient with modern cloud-based software (e.g., QuickBooks Online) along with deep experience managing third-party POS, e-commerce and CRM integrations.
- Regional Complexity: Proven ability to manage multi-location operations, intercompany/inter-departmental allocations and provincial tax variations. <
