[Hiring] Bookkeeper @Rouge Care

Role Description

The Bookkeeper owns the day-to-day accounting of Rouge Care: transactions, reconciliations, payables, receivables, payroll support, sales tax, and the month-end close. You work under our Head of Finance and are the person who makes sure the numbers the leadership team works from are right. This is not a data-entry job — most of it should be automated, and part of your mandate is to keep it that way.

The business is more complex than its size suggests:

• We sell direct through Shopify, on Amazon, and to B2B customers and distributors in six markets and several currencies.
• We fulfill from five 3PLs on three continents.
• We carry significant inventory, so COGS and inventory accuracy matter.
• We're Quebec-based with GST/QST, HST, US sales tax, and international tax registrations to keep straight.

You'll be measured on three things:

• Books closed on time every month.
• Reconciliations always current.
• Zero missed filings.

Reports directly to the Head of Finance.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of full-cycle bookkeeping, ideally in an e-commerce, consumer products, or inventory-based business.
• Hands-on with Quebec payroll, GST/QST, and CRA and Revenu Québec filings.
• Experience with multi-currency accounting and with reconciling Shopify payouts and Amazon settlements.
• Comfortable with inventory and COGS accounting.
• Proficient in QuickBooks Online or Xero, a settlement tool such as A2X, a receipt-capture tool such as Dext, and Excel or Google Sheets.
• Precise, organized, deadline-driven, and discreet with confidential information.
• AI-native and automation-minded — you would rather build the integration than key the entries.
• Fluent in French and English.
• Bonus: accounting diploma (DEC or AEC) or CPA track; 3PL and landed-cost accounting; US sales tax experience.

Requirements

• Record and reconcile Shopify payouts, Amazon settlements, payment processor and financing-provider deposits, and bank and credit card accounts across currencies.
• Process 3PL, freight, duty, and supplier invoices, and keep foreign-exchange gains and losses properly recorded.
• Keep every account reconciled monthly so there are no surprises at close.
• Run accounts payable: vendor bills, approvals, payment runs, corporate cards, and expense reports — including the large inventory purchases and supplier deposits coordinated with Operations.
• Run accounts receivable for B2B customers and distributors: invoicing, collections, aging, and credit terms.
• Maintain clean vendor and customer records and a documented approval trail.
• Prepare and process payroll with our provider, including Quebec source deductions, RRSP and group insurance remittances, CNESST, and year-end T4 and RL-1 slips.
• Manage freelancer and contractor invoicing and payments, including T4A and RL-1 reporting where required.
• Reconcile payroll to the general ledger every period.
• Prepare and file GST/QST and HST returns, US sales tax where we have obligations, and international VAT/GST filings with our advisors — on time, every time.
• Handle CRA and Revenu Québec correspondence and keep the documentation that makes audits, reviews, and grant claims painless.
• Track filing deadlines and registration requirements as we enter new markets.
• Own the close checklist: accruals, prepaids, fixed assets, inventory and COGS entries with Operations and the Head of Finance, and reconciliation to Shopify and Amazon reporting.
• Deliver clean, close-ready books and a supporting package the Head of Finance can build the monthly reporting from.
• Keep the accounting stack automated and documented — bank feeds, settlement integrations, receipt capture, and AI tooling — so the close gets faster every quarter.

Benefits

• Remote-first work environment.
• 4 weeks vacation.
• 5 personal/sick days.
• Group insurance.
• RRSP matching up to $5,000.
• $500 annual health & wellness flex allowance.
• Legendary Christmas party.
