Working in a cloud-based software environment, the Accounting Coordinator role will focus on processing transactions for our clients’ businesses, as described below.

• Preparing, processing and posting customer invoices and credit notes, cash receipts, vendor invoices and payments, journal entries and other financial transactions
• Reconciling accounts, statements and preparing working papers
• Contacting customers and vendors as required
• Researching simple accounting and tax questions
• Cross-checking the work of coworkers at all levels for quality control purposes

As an experienced Accounting Coordinator, you’ll work closely with members of the Syncopate team including entry-level staff who may have little to no accounting experience. You’ll be a trusted resource for these coworkers, providing assistance, training support and encouragement on a daily basis.

In your role you will receive on the job training and support for your responsibilities from more experienced coworkers.  You can expect to learn about our clients’ businesses, as well as developing new skills to contribute to the success of those businesses.  In the process, you’ll learn about Syncopate’s business and how we serve our clients.  Understanding “why” you’re doing something – and questioning whether there is a better way accomplish those goals – is an important part of Syncopate’s organizational culture.

This role is a salary grade 3 which corresponds to Syncopate’s Support Job Stream level S3.

WHO YOU MIGHT BE

• You enjoy learning – new apps, new skills, new ways of thinking and doing
• You are detail-oriented and can check your own work, and the work of others, for errors
• You have a broad knowledge of accounting principles and practices and as such, you’re a resource in these areas for your colleagues
• You’re looking for a job that has career growth potential, because we will continually provide you with new training and experience opportunities

COMPETENCIES

We are looking for someone who is:

• Accountable: Cares deeply about getting results, stays on top of all responsibilities, consistently meets deadlines and communicates in advance if something will prevent you from meeting your commitments and deadlines
• Coachable and willing to coach others: Considers themselves a continual learner in all aspects of life – both professionally and personally.  Is willing to learn from anyone regardless of their position or status. Is patient and willing to share their knowledge with others on the team, and with our clients.
• Willing to extend trust: You articulate your needs and give others a second – and third chance, if necessary – to do better
• Courageous: You ask for help in the moment you need it, and you communicate when you have concerns about a client or coworker, even if it’s someone more senior than yourself

WHAT TO EXPECT

In this role you will start out working approximately 5-20 hours per week. As your client load grows, your hours may increase – at your option – to a full-time position (40 hours per week).  In this role you will work primarily from home.  Interaction with coworkers and client staff takes place mainly over phone and video calls, email and chat.  That said, when public health guidelines permit, you'll be expected to attend in-person meetings in Markham and around the Greater Toronto Area from time to time (e.g. monthly).

You’ll be provided with a laptop and monitor, plus an allowance to purchase a keyboard, mouse, and an office chair.  You will provide your own table/desk and a high-speed internet connection (required).

The starting salary range for this position is $50,000 to $60,000 on an annualized basis, depending on the candidate’s level of experience, education, and location within the GTA.  Because this is a part-time role, however, the equivalent hourly rate will be paid, which corresponds to $24.04 to $28.85 per hour.  All employees are entitled to 4 weeks annual vacation time off per our Vacation Policy (earned as 7.7% of hourly wages). After three months of employment, you will be entitled to our Health Care and Wellness Spending account, valued at $1,000 annually (pro-rated in your first year).
