Tax and Accounting Associate

Description

The AccTax Company is seeking a diligent and detail-oriented Tax and Accounting Associate to join its dynamic Canadian accounting practice. This full-time, remote position is ideal for a professional who is either part-qualified or a fresh affiliate of ACCA or CA with practical foundational experience in accounting, bookkeeping, or finance. The role focuses primarily on serving Canadian clients and offers comprehensive training on Canadian accounting systems, including payroll, GST/HST, and corporate and personal tax requirements. Candidates with prior knowledge or experience related to US tax laws, IRS compliance, or US bookkeeping will be highly valued. Working remotely from Pakistan with occasional in-person meetings in Lahore, the successful candidate must possess advanced skills in QuickBooks Online and MS Excel or Google Sheets, along with the capacity to work autonomously while maintaining accuracy and confidentiality.

• Maintain well-organized and secure cloud-based electronic client files, including source documents and supporting receipts, to uphold documentation standards.
• Draft professional and clear English correspondence with clients to obtain missing documentation, respond to routine inquiries, and assist in communication with the Canada Revenue Agency.
• Track accounts receivable and payable, monitor customer payments, follow up on outstanding invoices, and support vendor communications such as purchase orders and quotations.
• Prepare regular financial summaries, spreadsheets, and reports, and manage personal task lists to provide progress updates during virtual team meetings.
• Engage actively in continuous learning to master Canadian accounting regulations, tax compliance frameworks, and modern cloud technology platforms.
