Location: Vancouver, BC.

About Us:
Family-run, tech-driven, heart-centered.

As Western Canada’s premiere school photography company, we’re all about providing a premium experience and beautiful photographs to students of all ages. While photographers are out creating memories, our finance team keeps the business running smoothly — and that’s where you come in. As an equal-opportunity employer, we welcome folks of all genders, identities, orientations and abilities to apply.

Position Overview:
We’re looking for an Accounting Assistant who’s comfortable in QuickBooks, has an eye for detail and brings a fresh perspective to legacy processes. Our ideal candidate is someone who values both precision and progress and thrives in a collaborative, mission-driven workplace.

Whether you're reconciling accounts or helping us rethink old workflows, you'll play a key part in helping our team stay agile and accurate as we grow.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support day-to-day accounting tasks including data entry, invoicing and reconciliations using QuickBooks Online.
• Assist with processing payments, tracking expenses and generating reports.
• Help modernize our accounting practices by offering input on workflows and improvements.
• Maintain accurate and organized digital records.
  Follow existing processes and contribute to refining them as needed.
• Collaborate with the operations team to ensure timely and accurate financial reporting.
• Support seasonal accounting needs around photo day activities and vendor payments.
  

Requirements:

• Experience working with QuickBooks Online (minimum 1 year).
• A fresh outlook on traditional accounting practices.
• Strong attention to detail — you catch errors before they become problems.
• Reliable, self-motivated and able to manage tasks independently.
• A growth mindset — you’re open to learning, feedback and new ideas.
• Good written communication skills for documenting processes and providing updates.
• Comfortable working under tight deadlines and adjusting to seasonal needs.
  

This is a contract position until March 15, 2027 at our main studio in Vancouver. It is not remote-eligible. Successful candidates must be legally eligible to work in Canada. Since we work with children and minors, candidates must also pass a criminal record check.

Benefits:

• $21-$25 per hour, depending on experience.
• Employee discounts in our Mount Pleasant neighbourhood.
  

How to Apply: Submit your resume and a short cover letter telling us why you’d be a great fit for this role — and how you see accounting differently.
