Payroll Associate

Please note that the work location can be anywhere in Canada (remote working out of your home office). 

Who we are

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.

Why us?

We’re building a workplace where people can grow, feel heard, and actually enjoy their work. Here’s what that looks like:

• Fully Remote. You will be working from your home office (who doesn't love that?)
• Room to grow. Opportunities for career development and annual performance increase
• Fully paid for health, dental, and vision benefits. Plus access to virtual healthcare
• Fridays off in July & August (yep, paid!)
• Paid December holiday shutdown. Rest, recharge, repeat.
• Equipment Provided. A brand-new laptop and all the gear you need to hit the ground running.
• Your voice matters. From improving workflows to shaping our culture, everyone has a seat at the table.
• Chill, inclusive vibes. We’re diverse, easy-going, and allergic to corporate drama.
• No formalwear required. Hoodies welcomed, PJ pants encouraged.

What is the role?

We are looking for a payroll rockstar!  The candidate must be PCP certified.

• Running payroll on time, making changes to payroll (adding/removing employees, adding/removing deductions, etc.), handling the T4 process, and submitting ROE forms, amongst other payroll duties
• Answering inquiries from clients related to payroll and payable matters, providing recommendations and problem-solving, and analyzing data
• Processing end-to-end payroll for multiple clients with different pay frequencies
• EHT, WCB filings for multiple provinces
• Reviewing CRA accounts and responding to notices

• Intimate understanding of the Canadian payroll process, including but not limited to withholding taxes, source deductions, other deductions, benefits, ROE forms, T4 slips, and more

What you bring to the table:

• Great communicator. You’re confident, clear, and professional in both writing and conversation. Clients trust you, and teammates love collaborating with you.
• Organized & efficient. You can juggle multiple clients and tasks without dropping a beat.
• 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.
• Payroll know-how. Payroll processing, T4, multi-province experience, benefits, and more. Experience with tools like Payworks and Wagepoint is a big plus.
• 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.
• Strong internet. At least 6Mbps up/down to keep Zoom running smoothly and work flowing freely.
