ABOUT THE COMPANY

We are a diversified, owner-operated group of businesses based on Vancouver Island, BC. Our companies span construction and land development, equipment and asset management, mobile hauling, and specialty contracting. We’re a growing group with a hands-on ownership team that values precision, accountability, and doing good work.

Each company keeps its own books, but there’s a lot of intercompany activity across the group. You’ll keep each set of books clean and separate while understanding how they fit together.

THE PROSPECT

We’re looking for an experienced, detail-oriented Bookkeeper to own full-cycle bookkeeping across our group of companies in QuickBooks Online. If you enjoy reconciliations that tie out, love a clean set of books, and want more variety than a single-company role offers, this is for you.

You’ll work directly with ownership and our external accountant, and you’ll have room to grow into payroll oversight, compliance, and financial reporting as you settle in.

Attention to detail is a must. Our companies cross-reference heavily, so small errors add up quickly. We need someone who takes pride in getting it right the first time.

WHO YOU ARE

We’re a tight-knit team. We look out for one another, we take pride in being the helpful solution, and we hold ourselves to a high standard. We run on EOS (the Entrepreneurial Operating System) and live by the principles of The Ideal Team Player:

- Humble: You put the team first, share credit, and own your mistakes.
- Hungry: You don’t need to be told what’s next. Deadlines matter to you, and you finish the job right.
- Smart: You communicate clearly, listen well, and look for the solution instead of handing off the problem.
