ABOUT AMLB

AMLB is growing quickly, having onboarded a portfolio of innovative clients making a real impact in a range of industries from technology to social impact. Purpose-driven and relationship-focused, we are strategic financial partners who intimately understand our clients' businesses and have built a reputation for delivering proactive advice that unleashes our clients’ performance potential.
SERVICES OVERVIEW
Cloud Accounting: AMLB takes the stress out of managing clients' day-to-day finances by providing a comprehensive cloud bookkeeping solution. From a digitized receipt capture solution to maintaining up-to-date financial records, we handle the clients' bookkeeping tasks efficiently and accurately. We also simplify accounts receivable and payable workflows by setting up and managing user-friendly AP/AR systems through tools like Plooto and Stripe to deliver a seamless, cloud-based solution for managing all incoming and outgoing payments.
Tax Planning & Preparation: AMLB offers comprehensive tax support, including the preparation and filing of T2 corporate tax returns, GST/HST filings, financial statement management, and strategic tax planning. AMLB also provides T1 tax filing for owner-managers and audit support for CRA reviews, ensuring peace of mind and compliance throughout the year.
Payroll: AMLB’s cloud-based payroll solutions enable clients to securely process payroll anytime, from anywhere. With WagePoint at the core, we manage direct deposits, T4 slips, tax remittances, and real-time updates, while leveraging collaborative tools to ensure accuracy, timeliness, and insight-driven payroll management.
CFO Advisory: Through virtual CFO services, AMLB delivers strategic financial guidance tailored to the needs of growing businesses. Our advisory offering includes financial modeling, deep dives into profit and margin leakage, audit committee and board reporting, cash flow and forecast analysis, and key performance indicator (KPI) development—all at a fraction of the cost of an in-house CFO.
Not-for-Profit Services: AMLB provides end-to-end financial compliance and advisory for not-for-profit organizations, including preparation and electronic filing of T3010 Registered Charity Returns, funder reporting, and support with government rebate programs such as HST, property tax, and public service body rebates.
Technology Enablement: AMLB stands out through its industry-leading use of cloud-first tools to automate, document, and streamline client services—leveraging platforms like Karbon for workflow management, SweetProcess and Loom for process documentation, Dext Prepare for receipt capture, QBO/Xero for accounting, WagePoint for payroll, Plooto for payments, and Microsoft SharePoint and Teams for seamless collaboration.

AMLB is a fast-growing and innovative organization with strong values, progressive leadership and a collaborative, purpose-driven, and inclusive culture. This is a unique opportunity to join an organization on a significant growth trajectory and directly contribute to the organization's success. If you want to work at an entrepreneurial business where you will have the opportunity to make a real impact and gain experience using tools that are disrupting the way accounting is done, you may be a great fit for AMLB.
THE POSITION
The Cloud Accountant is a key contributor to AMLB's delivery of client services, with an opportunity to directly impact the client and team member experience. You will be the key client contact for a portfolio of clients, supported by a Bookkeeping Specialist, Payroll Specialist and Tax Specialist, and will be relied upon to surface issues, risks, and improvement opportunities to shape how AMLB delivers its Cloud Finance Services.
THE PRIORITIES
Client Management: You will manage a portfolio of growth-oriented clients in a wide range of industries across Canada, ensuring that deliverables are timely, accurate, and aligned with client expectations. While you won’t be responsible for initial onboarding in your first 90 days, you will be copied on all client communication and expected to monitor for quality and risk, including ad-hoc advisory needs. You will review year-end trial balances, working papers, and financial statements with hand-off to the tax team, and work closely with the Payroll Lead to resolve any payroll-related issues raised by clients.
Process Improvement: You will collaborate closely with AMLB’s Technology & Operations Specialist to enhance internal client service processes. Your mandate includes identifying operational inefficiencies, improving workflow systems, supporting the business QA program (without performing the actual monthly/quarterly bookkeeping reviews), and ensuring your team follows standardized, high-quality practices. This includes utilizing AI to improve the quality and efficiency of client service delivery and drive sustainable growth without taking on tasks that belong to the bookkeeping or tax teams.
