4-Day Work Week | Client Advisory Services | Remote, Across Canada Remote First: Work from anywhere in Canada. Our Client Advisory Services team is remote by design, not as an accommodation. ~ Competitive
Salary:
$50,000 to $60,000, commensurate with experience. Full-time pay for fewer hours. ~ Generous Time Off: 3 weeks of vacation plus a paid week during the December holidays. ~ Paid Growth: Firm-funded training and professional development. ~ Retirement Ready: RRSP contribution matching to support your long-term financial security. ~ Prescription, dental, and vision coverage. Most bookkeeping jobs are built around the calendar. McLenehan and Associates CPAs is a growing Winnipeg-based accounting firm serving hundreds of incorporated Canadian small businesses, from monthly bookkeeping and year-end compliance through to Fractional CFO and Virtual Controller services. We are building this team around capable, self-directed bookkeepers. Own the daily inflow to your clients’ dedicated accounting email addresses. Work directly with client-side accounting staff where a client keeps part of the bookkeeping in house. Bookkeeping standards vary widely from client to client, so a meaningful part of the role is reviewing their entries, correcting what comes through before it reaches your controller, and coaching where it will keep the same issue from recurring next month. Full-Cycle Bookkeeping Perform full-cycle bookkeeping in QuickBooks Online, including transaction categorization, bank and credit card reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable management, and month-end close to trial balance. Prepare GST/HST and provincial sales tax returns before deadlines, and process payroll as assigned. Use cloud accounting and automation tools to deliver quality work within client fee expectations. Prepare working papers and month-end files so your controller is reviewing quality work rather than rebuilding it.
Flag process improvements and advisory opportunities as you spot them. You see these books more often than anyone else in the firm. Onboarding to our systems and QuickBooks Online file conventions, working alongside your controller on live client files, and gradually take on clients. You run the daily inflow on your own files, complete your first full month-end close cycle, and start fielding routine client questions directly rather than passing them up. Month-end close, sales tax filings, and client communication are yours to run, with your controller reviewing your work rather than directing it. By this point we expect you to be raising process improvements and advisory opportunities you have spotted in your own books. Minimum 1 year of full-cycle bookkeeping experience, taking files through to trial balance. Past roles limited to accounts payable or receivable alone will not prepare you for this position. Hands‑on, current proficiency in QuickBooks Online. Working knowledge of Canadian payroll processing and GST/HST and provincial sales tax compliance. You may be
working hours
ahead of your controller, so clear notes and well‑framed questions matter. A reliable home office setup and secure, stable internet. Experience in public practice, an outsourced accounting or client advisory firm, or a virtual bookkeeping firm serving multiple clients at the same time. Give you a portfolio and you will run it, resolving most of what comes up without needing someone online beside you. You are a explicit, professional communicator in writing and in conversation. It is a role for an experienced, self-directed bookkeeper who wants a real book of clients, a controller who actually reviews the work, and a life outside the office. Quality Focused: Our clients are small business owners building something meaningful, and this role exists to make sure the numbers behind those decisions are right. 1919 Portage Avenue | 1581 Pembina Highway | Winnipeg, Manitoba #
