Accounting Technician Job in Quebec City: Details

Accounting Technician Responsibilities

The position focuses on complete and reliable bookkeeping records. Every transaction must be entered accurately, assigned to the correct account and supported by appropriate documentation so balances and reports remain useful to the firm and its clients.

• Keep accurate financial records.
• Establish, maintain and balance accounts.
• Use manual and computerized bookkeeping systems.
• Maintain general ledgers and financial statements.
• Post journal entries correctly.
• Prepare a trial balance of the books.
• Reconcile accounts and investigate differences.
• Support on-site customer service.

General Ledgers and Journal Entries

Maintaining the general ledger requires consistency in coding transactions, applying the correct period and preserving a clear audit trail. Journal entries should be supported, reviewed and posted according to the firm’s procedures. Attention to detail matters because a small classification or transcription error can affect several reports.

Trial Balances and Account Reconciliation

A trial balance helps confirm that ledger debits and credits are in balance before financial information is finalized. Reconciliation compares internal records with external statements or supporting schedules. The technician must identify unmatched items, research discrepancies and document corrections rather than forcing balances to agree.

Accounting Software and Technical Skills

The employer lists accounting software, QuickBooks and Acomba, along with Microsoft Excel, Outlook, Windows and Word. Applicants should describe their actual proficiency clearly, including the systems they have used, the type of records managed and the accounting activities completed.

• QuickBooks bookkeeping software.
• Acomba accounting software.
• Microsoft Excel spreadsheets.
• Microsoft Outlook communication.
• Microsoft Word documentation.
• Microsoft Windows environment.

Excel may support reconciliations, schedules, data review and working papers, while Outlook and Word help with client communication and documentation. Candidates should never claim advanced functions they cannot demonstrate. A precise description such as “prepared monthly bank reconciliations in QuickBooks and Excel” is more useful than a broad software list.

Hybrid Work and Personal Suitability

This is a hybrid position, so work must be performed both remotely and at the Québec office or client locations. The posting lists internet access under the applicant’s own tools or equipment. Candidates should confirm the expected office days, client-site travel, remote-work security rules and whether the employer supplies a computer, software licences or other equipment.

Financial information is confidential. A suitable remote workspace should support focused work, secure communication and the firm’s privacy procedures. Do not use personal cloud storage, unapproved devices or unsecured networks for client records unless the employer explicitly authorizes them.

• Works independently and meets deadlines.
• Maintains accuracy during repetitive tasks.
• Remains organized under pressure.
• Uses sound professional judgement.
• Communicates clearly with French-speaking clients.
• Contributes as a dependable team member.
• Manages time across multiple priorities.
• Maintains a strong client-service focus.

Accounting Technician Salary and Benefits

The negotiable annual salary is $45,000 to $60,000 for 37.5 hours per week. Based on 1,950 scheduled hours across 52 weeks, this is approximately $23.08 to $30.77 per hour before deductions and adjustments for unpaid time.

The role aligns with NOC 12200 — Accounting technicians and bookkeepers. Current Job Bank information lists a $26.50 hourly median for the Capitale-Nationale Region. The advertised range therefore extends from below to above the regional midpoint, depending on the negotiated salary.
