The entry level Accounting Coordinator role will initially focus on data entry and processing transactions for our clients’ businesses, as described below.

• Prepare customer invoices and credit notes
• Process cash receipts and reconcile payment differences
• Post vendor invoices
• Prepare vendor payments
• Prepare account reconciliations

In this entry level role, you will receive on the job training and support for your day-to-day tasks from experienced coworkers.  You can expect to learn about our clients’ businesses, as well as how each of your responsibilities contributes 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 1 which corresponds to Syncopate’s Support Job Stream level S1.

WHO YOU ARE

• You are looking for an “office job”; indoors, at a desk, in front of a computer for several hours a day
• You enjoy learning – new apps, new skills, new ways of thinking and doing
• You’ve got common sense and are comfortable with numbers – while you won’t be “doing math”, this is definitely numbers-oriented work
• You’re comfortable with repetitive tasks, particularly data entry on the computer
• You are detail-oriented and can check your own work, or the work of others, for errors
• 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:

• Trustworthy: Making mistakes is perfectly ok, denying them or covering them up is not
• 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
• Accountable: You live up to your commitments, meet deadlines, and communicate in advance if something will prevent you from meeting those commitments and deadlines

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 for this position is $47,840 on an annualized basis.  Because this is a part-time role, however, the equivalent hourly rate will be paid, which corresponds to $23.00 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).
