  • Communicate directly with clients to clarify questions, explain results, and recommend improvements.

  • Collaborate with controllers and leadership to continuously improve Mesa’s accounting processes.

 

What You Bring

  • 3+ years of experience in public accounting or managing multiple client files.

  • Strong proficiency in QuickBooks Online (QBO) and related accounting tools (e.g., Dext, HubSpot, HelloSign).

  • Solid understanding of Canadian accounting and tax principles.

  • Ability to manage multiple clients and deadlines in a remote environment.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication — you translate numbers into clear insights.

  • Proactive, dependable, and detail-obsessed.
