ABOUT THE ROLE
You keep the books for MLA Canada, a real estate sales and marketing company based in Vancouver, Canada, and its related companies. You run full cycle accounting in Sage 50, process payroll in WorkLinks, reconcile our real estate trust accounts, and maintain the Excel and Power Query reports our leadership team relies on. This is a fully remote, hands-on role. You report to the Senior Accountant and work our regular business hours in Pacific Time (Vancouver, Canada).
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Full cycle accounting
• Record daily transactions in Sage 50 and complete the month-end close for MLA Canada and its related companies.
• Reconcile bank, credit card and intercompany accounts every month.
• Reconcile real estate trust accounts every month and keep trust records accurate and up to date.
• Calculate and record real estate commission revenue and commission payments.
• Process supplier invoices and payment runs, and review expense reports for correct coding.
Payroll
• Process payroll twice a month for head office and sales teammates in British Columbia and Alberta, including base pay guarantees, commissions and bonuses.
• Post payroll journal entries, reconcile payroll accounts, and prepare government remittances and year-end tax slips (T4s).
Data and reporting
• Maintain the Excel and Power Query models behind our monthly financial package, budget reports and company KPI reporting: the weekly scorecard, pipeline and revenue tracking, and department resourcing.
• Connect data from Sage 50, WorkLinks and HubSpot so reports refresh without manual exports.
• Prepare the monthly budget-to-actual report and produce ad-hoc analyses when needed.
Sales tax and year end
• Prepare Canadian sales tax returns (GST and PST).
• Prepare year-end working papers and support our external accountants.
WHAT YOU BRING
Must have
• 4+ years of full cycle accounting experience.
• Experience with real estate commissions and trust accounts, including trust reconciliations.
• Hands-on payroll processing experience.
• Strong Excel and Power Query skills: building refreshable models that other people can use.
• Sage 50 or a similar accounting system, such as QuickBooks or Xero.
• Strong written and spoken English, and able to work full days on Pacific Time.
Nice to have
• A degree or professional designation in accounting.
• Canadian payroll, GST and PST, or WorkLinks experience.
• Power BI or HubSpot experience.
• Experience using AI assistants such as Claude for analysis or documentation.
