Remote-friendly Canadian company with 10+ years serving 350+ clients across tax and nonprofit sectors

Handle diverse accounting challenges from seasonal tax rushes to ongoing nonprofit compliance and reporting
Build expertise in Canadian tax law and nonprofit accounting with clear processes and continuous learning support

About the Company

We're two complementary financial services businesses focusing on tax optimization for real estate investors and CFO services for nonprofit organizations. Our mission: to empower Canadians on their financial journeys through expert guidance, education, and strategic support.

Our tax services business, established in 2014, specializes in tax optimization for real estate investors and professionals. We transform complex tax situations into strategic advantages through comprehensive planning, cross-border solutions, and personalized financial roadmaps.

Our nonprofit services business, with over 20 years of experience, delivers specialized CFO services and financial guidance to organizations throughout Ottawa and Toronto, helping purpose-driven entities achieve their missions through sound financial management.

Across our portfolio, we've served 350+ clients while building substantial educational resources, including a tax newsletter reaching 19,000+ subscribers and a YouTube channel with 34,000+ followers, demonstrating our commitment to democratizing financial knowledge.

OUR COMPANY VALUES guide our team and shape our culture:

• Growth Mindset: Embrace improvement, continuously learn and seek best practices
• Customer First: Go above and beyond for those we serve with exceptional care
• Take Ownership: Act with integrity, take responsibility, and do the right thing
• Work Hard, Play Hard: Pursue excellence with passion while maintaining balance
• Make Impact: Leave things better than we found them and create lasting value

We're a hybrid organization with 24-30 teammates across our businesses, including accountants, admin staff, and marketing professionals. Our teams are primarily based in the Greater Toronto Area, with remote team members elsewhere in Canada (Ottawa, Calgary) as well as globally (Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, Philippines, Nigeria). We foster a family-like culture where we trust our team to get things done while maintaining clear processes for quality work.

Our culture emphasizes "getting sh*t done" while maintaining work-life balance. We host regular team events from pickleball games to community service activities, building strong relationships even with our remote team members.

About the Role

We're looking for remote Accountants to join either our real estate tax services team or our nonprofit accounting division. You'll help relieve capacity constraints during peak seasons, ensure year-round financial accuracy, and create bandwidth for business growth. Depending on your background, you'll be placed with the business line that best matches your experience.

In this role, you'll manage comprehensive accounting functions including client documentation, tax preparation, financial reporting, and detailed bookkeeping. Your focus will be either high-volume tax preparation with seasonal intensity (targeting 5-6 files weekly during tax season), or consistent nonprofit bookkeeping requiring deep understanding of funding reports, deferred revenue, and compliance requirements.

You'll work within standardized processes while collaborating closely with our internal team to ensure quality work and maintain our reputation for excellence across both business lines.

Our IDEAL CANDIDATE brings 3-5 years of experience in accounting, bookkeeping, or tax preparation roles. You have strong foundational accounting skills - you understand how debits and credits work, how bookkeeping functions, and can handle multiple client files effectively. You're proficient with accounting software and Excel, thrive under the pressure of busy tax seasons while maintaining accuracy, and possess excellent verbal communication skills for clear collaboration across time zones. You're a proactive problem-solver who spots issues early, takes ownership of quality work, and genuinely enjoys learning new processes and software. Most importantly, you get that your work directly enables our clients to succeed and our team to grow - whether that's helping real estate investors save on taxes or freeing up nonprofits to focus on their mission.

Your performance will be measured by work quality, turnaround time, processing volume, effective team communication, responsiveness to client needs, and demonstrated mastery of Canadian tax principles.

• Transaction Processing: Issuing invoices and checking receivables; entering payments for approval; handling transactions according to client needs; maintaining detailed documentation
