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.
