Steady clients. Clear work. A team that has your back. Welcome to Avalon.
Who We Are
We're a growing cloud-accounting firm that believes small businesses deserve a better deal. We know that more small businesses will thrive if they get the right advice, support, and service when it comes to dollars and cents. That’s where we come in.
We’re a team of light-hearted, curious, and skilled professionals who love numbers (yes, we proudly embrace the term geeks). We balance finance with flair, fun, and a commitment to delivering high-quality work. If you’ve ever felt out of place in traditional corporate settings, you’ll feel right at home with us.
About the Role
We’re hiring an experienced cloud bookkeeper to step in during a parental leave (around nine months). The work is steady, the clients are established, and if it ends up being the right fit for both of us, there’s a strong chance of staying on permanently.
If you’ve run your own client portfolio before, have public practice or cloud-firm experience, and are comfortable handling sales tax filings, you’ll be able to hit the ground running.
💰 Pay: $26–$30/hour
🌴 Vacation: 8% vacation pay added to each pay period (equivalent to 4 weeks per year)
🤒 Sick Days: 5 paid
🌎 Location: Remote, anywhere in Canada.
What We’re Looking For
Here’s the simplest way to put it: we’re looking for someone who takes pride in doing clean, dependable work, even on the messy days.
More specifically:
- 2+ years managing your own client portfolio in a cloud bookkeeping or accounting firm.
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple clients without losing your mind (or your cool).
- Experience with GST/HST/PST filings and government remittances
- Comfort using Xero and Dext (or something similar)
- Clear, thoughtful communication (written and verbal).
- A genuine respect for accuracy, clarity, and good processes
- Bonus: experience with e-commerce and reporting
- Bonus: strong Google Docs + spreadsheet skills
What You’ll Do
- Handling weekly, monthly, and quarterly bookkeeping for your own set of clients
- Keeping books clean and current in Xero and Dext
- Managing accounts payable and tracking cash flow
- Filing sales taxes and completing other remittances
- Preparing financial reports that help clients make smarter decisions
- Working with our accounting team to make year-end smooth and predictable
Our Culture
Culture isn’t an afterthought for us. It’s the reason people stay. We support each other, celebrate wins (big and small), share knowledge freely, and assume good intentions.
Even though we’re fully remote, we stay connected through virtual meetups, learning sessions, and everyday conversations. You’ll never be left to “figure it out” alone, there’s always someone willing to help, explain, or walk through a problem with you.
We work hard, but we also respect boundaries, time zones, and life outside the job. The goal is simple: a calm, competent, dependable workplace where people can do their best work without burning out.
Clients We Work With
Our clients are Canadian small businesses across all kinds of industries: e-commerce, retail, service-based, hospitality, entertainment, and more. They value clarity, consistency, and the kind of grounded financial support that helps them grow and lets them sleep at night.
