Loewen Kruse is on a mission to deliver high-quality accounting solutions to non-profits and small-to-medium-sized businesses that require personable and specialized services. As part of this mission, Loewen Kruse is looking for a full-time Bookkeeper to join our team and provide exceptional accounting services to our clients.
For this position, we are looking for a new team member with the potential and desire to grow into a role that will provide a variety of clients with accurate and timely financial records. If you have a track record of excellent customer service, keeping things organized, and solving problems, we would like to invest in your skillset with ongoing training to take on increasingly complex work.
You are a professional and want to continue developing your skills at a growing firm. You enjoy working in a team, partnering with your clients and your colleagues. Relationships motivate your work just as much as a satisfying reconciliation.
The ideal candidate will be a professional who thrives within a combination of relationship-building and independent work. Excited about the ability to provide financial clarity and assist organizational leaders (business owners, executive directors, etc.), you are willing to check every detail to contribute towards the bigger picture. With a keen eye out for areas of improvement, you are constantly seeking for ways to provide valuable service to your clients. If this is you, we would love to hear from you.
Core Responsibilities
- Cultivate relationships with clients and act as their dedicated finance contact.
- Complete monthly reconciliation of general ledger accounts.
- Manage A/P module and facilitate regular cheque runs.

- Prepare and file GST, PST, EHT, WCB, and other compliance filings.
- Prepare client records for year-end assurance engagements.
Benefits
- Competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package (extended health, dental, vision, etc.).
- In addition to paid vacation time, there are minimal overtime requirements (even in busy season) and the office is closed on Fridays in July and August.
- This role can be done out of our Burnaby or Langley offices. Both offices have casual work environments and locations that will keep your commute brief.
- Opportunity for a hybrid role with partial remote work after an initial probation and training period.
Requirements
- You have completed post-secondary education or have equivalent work experience that demonstrates customer service and problem-solving skills.
