The Rothenbury Group is seeking an experienced Senior Bookkeeper to maintain reliable financial records across a portfolio of Canadian businesses.
This position will support multiple companies and legal entities with different operating activities, bank accounts, departments, transactions, and reporting requirements. The person hired will be responsible for reconciliations, general-ledger accuracy, GST/HST accounting, payroll entries, intercompany activity, month-end support, financial reporting, and year-end preparation.
When accounts do not reconcile, transactions are assigned to the wrong entity, or historical balances lack support, you will be expected to investigate the issue and correct it properly.
This is a senior individual-contributor position. It is not intended for someone whose experience is primarily limited to entering transactions, categorizing bank-feed activity, or processing invoices.
Applications are reviewed based on Canadian bookkeeping experience, education, accounting-system knowledge, multi-company exposure, and the level of responsibility held in previous positions.
Candidates selected for screening 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 evaluate your full-cycle bookkeeping experience, reconciliation skills, GST/HST knowledge, payroll accounting, intercompany experience, QuickBooks Online proficiency, month-end judgment, and ability to maintain accurate records independently.

Reviewing work completed by AP, AR, payroll, or junior bookkeeping employees
Building reconciliation schedules and accounting documentation
Preparing records for year-end review, audit, or tax work
Identifying and correcting historical accounting errors
You understand that bookkeeping is not complete when transactions have simply been posted. Accounts must reconcile, balances must be supported, transactions must be assigned to the correct entity and period, and unusual results must be investigated.
You know when a correction can be completed through an established process and when a material, unusual, or unsupported matter requires management or finance-lead review.

Complete bank and credit-card reconciliations within established timelines
Keep general-ledger and balance-sheet accounts clean
Reconcile payroll liabilities and remittances
Reconcile AP and AR subledgers to the general ledger
