Tay & Company provides top-notch professional accounting services in the Lakeland region. We never forget that our clients are our neighbours, friends and community members. We are a small CPA firm so we live the mantra that every team member, no matter the role, is important.

We are looking for a motivated and upbeat individual with the right experience to join our team as a Bookkeeping Specialist.

Prepare GST returns, T4 and T5 returns, and other government returns.
Generate regular financial information reports for client use.
Support clients in bookkeeping questions and software learning.
Work on Xero, Quickbooks and Sage bookkeeping software.
Prepare personal income tax returns including proprietorships and farms.
Support accounting technicians in preparing files for year-end engagements.
Participate in team events, inject some fun into the workplace!

What You Need To Qualify:

Be GREAT at customer service and teamwork!
Be tech-savvy and embrace new technology.
Have a professional and calm manner – it can get hectic at times.
Be able to juggle and prioritize workload and deadlines, handle time pressures and interruptions well.
Be a self starter – you don’t wait to be told what to do.
Attention to detail is a must!
Have real-world experience with Microsoft 365 (Excel, Outlook, Word).
Experience in full cycle bookkeeping / accounting is valued. But, we are willing to train from ground-up for someone with the right aptitude and attitude.
Any education/training taken in bookkeeping or accounting is a plus.

More on the Opportunity:

This is a full-time position but we will also work with part-time hours. It can be flexible depending on your needs – let’s talk.
Regular Monday to Friday work week in the office, generally no weekends unless by mutual agreement.
Competitive pay rates, dependent on extent of related experience.
Eligible for annual bonuses.
Health & dental, life/disability/critical illness insurances.
Ongoing professional development and learning opportunities.
Work-life balance – yes we work harder during tax season but we make up for that with more relaxed summers and flexible work schedules.
We live the belief that family comes first. If you've hesitated to apply because of family obligations, talk to us - let's work out a win-win schedule.

At Tay & Company, we pride ourselves in a supportive team culture with a relaxed work environment. Come meet us and see for yourself!
