Progress Group is a Canadian accounting practice building out its bookkeeping operations in Ahmedabad. We're looking for an experienced bookkeeper to take real ownership of a book of Canadian client files and work directly alongside our team in Canada.

- Prepare and file GST/HST returns
- Prepare financial statements for review by our Canadian accounting team

- QuickBooks ProAdvisor certification
- Prior experience at a Canadian accounting firm, or at an outsourcing provider serving Canadian clients
- Exposure to Canadian payroll

Benefits:
- Internet reimbursement
