About TrueNorth Staffing

TrueNorth Staffing is a Canadian recruitment agency placing candidates at accounting and tax employers across the Calgary–Edmonton corridor and beyond. Founded in 2010, the team works with employer clients of all sizes, from small independents to multi-site operators, to fill roles quickly with vetted candidates.

About the role

You'll handle the day-to-day accounting basics: entering invoices, processing accounts payable and receivable, reconciling bank and credit card statements, and helping with month-end journal entries and accruals. You'll maintain clean supporting documentation, assist with HST filings and year-end working papers, and flag anything that doesn't reconcile. As you learn the systems, you'll take on more of the close and start preparing schedules on your own.

What you'll bring

You bring an accounting education, careful attention to detail, and comfort in Excel and accounting software. You ask questions when something doesn't balance rather than forcing it, and you want to build toward a CPA designation through real hands-on work.

TrueNorth Staffing manages this search. After applying, expect a brief phone screen with one of our recruiters before an interview with the client. We protect your information and only share it once you have consented.

Required Qualifications

  • Degree or diploma in accounting or finance
  • Understanding of basic bookkeeping, reconciliations, and journal entries
  • Proficiency in Excel; experience with accounting software an asset
  • Eligibility to work in Canada

Benefits

  • $500 annual professional-development budget
  • CPA exam-fee and study-leave support
  • RRSP matching to 4% of base
  • Quarterly team lunches and an end-of-tax-season offsite
