Staff Accountant

Auto Import

This is a remote position.

Who We Are

At SFIR Consulting Ltd., we are on a mission to redefine accounting.

We believe accountants should be proactive, trusted advisors, not reactive service providers. Our clients rely on us year-round to help them make informed financial decisions that directly impact profitability, growth, and long-term stability. We combine 'Big Firm Expertise' with 'Small Firm Values' to deliver thoughtful, tailored solutions — and we take that responsibility seriously.

Job Description

We are hiring two full-time Staff Accountants to join our team.

The Staff Accountant plays a pivotal role in taking ownership of client financials, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and completeness across all bookkeeping deliverables. The Staff Accountant is responsible for maintaining financial integrity, supporting client decision-making, and strengthening client relationships through proactive communication and high-quality work. This is not a transactional bookkeeping role.

Our clients make real decisions based on what we deliver. This role exists to protect quality, strengthen accountability, and build long-term trust.

This Role Is for Someone Who…

  • Values quality and refuses to cut corners.
  • Demonstrates continuous learning and professional growth.
  • Is self-aware and open to feedback.
  • Is curious, solutions-oriented, and resilient.
  • Has strong emotional intelligence in client and team interactions.
  • Seeks to understand the “why,” not just complete the “what”.
  • Is looking to build a career in professional services, not just hold a title.

What You Will Be Responsible For

Client and Revenue-Focused Work

You will be responsible for:

  • Maintaining accurate financial records across multiple clients
  • Performing monthly bank and credit card reconciliations
  • Managing accounts payable and accounts receivable processes
  • Executing complete month-end close procedures (including accruals and adjustments)
  • Maintaining intercompany transactions and ensuring financial accuracy
  • Preparing and supporting year-end close processes, coordinating with external firms as needed
  • Reviewing and/or filing tax-related submissions (T4, T4A, T5, 1099, sales tax, and ad hoc filings)
  • Delivering bookkeeping projects and accounting-related consulting engagements
  • Analyzing financial data and flagging discrepancies or risks proactively

Collaboration and Team Contribution

You will be responsible for:

  • Working closely with accountants, analysts, and interns
  • Training and supporting junior team members
  • Contributing to a collaborative, knowledge-sharing team environment

Operational and Administrative Responsibility

You will be responsible for:

  • Accurately tracking billable hours
  • Maintaining up-to-date records in all internal systems
  • Ensuring consistent and audit-ready documentation
  • Participating in weekly check-ins and follow through on action items
  • Communicating effectively using internal systems
  • Coordinating and participating in client and internal meetings
  • Communicating clearly and reporting to leadership

Requirements

What We Are Looking For

These are non-negotiable:

  • Minimum 2 years of accounting experience with a strong understanding of core accounting principles and best practices (accruals, reconciliations, financial statements).
  • Recent graduates may be considered with a combination of relevant education and a minimum of 1 year of practical experience.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Proficiency in QuickBooks Online and Microsoft Excel, including experience reviewing files, identifying discrepancies, troubleshooting issues, and performing cleanups.
  • Experience working with cloud-based accounting systems (e.g., QuickBooks, Zoho Books, FreshBooks, Sage, AccountEdge); exposure to platforms such as SAP or NetSuite is considered an asset.
  • Demonstrated ability and strong aptitude for learning new systems, tools, and workflows quickly.
  • Strong time management and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple client deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a team setting.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to interact professionally with clients and internal stakeholders.
