Senior Bookkeeper

Join ConnectCPA

At ConnectCPA, we're not your traditional accounting firm. We are an online/virtual firm, paperless, and tech-savvy. We are growing rapidly and searching for a team member who meshes with our unique firm culture.

We are a Licensed, Chartered Professional Accounting (CPA) firm that operates with a startup mentality: we experiment, we collaborate, we embrace new technologies, we automate, and we actually like Mondays (most of the time).

We're big believers in working smart, not just hard. We wear hoodies, not suits. We talk on Slack more than email. And we're constantly on the lookout for new tools and better ways of doing things. We've made growth and innovation a part of our DNA.

• Self-starter energy. You're proactive, motivated, and comfortable working independently in a remote setting.
• Tech-savvy. You learn new software quickly and maybe even geek over automations and workflow hacks.

• You just get it. You're sharp, dynamic, and ready to become a key player in a fast-growing firm where your ideas make an impact.
