• Financial Reporting: Prepare monthly financial reports, including Profit & Loss statements and Balance Sheets, for review by management.
• System Accuracy: Ensure bookkeeping systems and financial records remain accurate, organized, and up to date.

Requirements

• Canadian Accounting Experience, with expertise in Canadian tax laws, CRA compliance, and specifically Alberta GST requirements.
