Bookeeper

About Rouge Care

Rouge Care is a premium red light therapy company building the future of health technology through clinically inspired wellness devices, software, and design. We're looking for a Bookkeeper to keep the books of a multi-currency, multi-channel e-commerce business clean, current, and closed on time.

Role Overview

The Bookkeeper owns the day-to-day accounting of Rouge Care: transactions, reconciliations, payables, receivables, payroll support, sales tax, and the month-end close. You work under our Head of Finance and are the person who makes sure the numbers the leadership team works from are right. This is not a data-entry job — most of it should be automated, and part of your mandate is to keep it that way.

The business is more complex than its size suggests. We sell direct through Shopify, on Amazon, and to B2B customers and distributors in six markets and several currencies; we fulfill from five 3PLs on three continents; we carry significant inventory, so COGS and inventory accuracy matter; and we're Quebec-based with GST/QST, HST, US sales tax, and international tax registrations to keep straight.

You'll be measured on three things: books closed on time every month, reconciliations always current, and zero missed filings.

Reports directly to the Head of Finance.

What You'll Own

Transactions & Reconciliations

• Record and reconcile Shopify payouts, Amazon settlements, payment processor and financing-provider deposits, and bank and credit card accounts across currencies.
• Process 3PL, freight, duty, and supplier invoices, and keep foreign-exchange gains and losses properly recorded.
• Keep every account reconciled monthly so there are no surprises at close.

Accounts Payable & Receivable

• Run accounts payable: vendor bills, approvals, payment runs, corporate cards, and expense reports — including the large inventory purchases and supplier deposits coordinated with Operations.
• Run accounts receivable for B2B customers and distributors: invoicing, collections, aging, and credit terms.
• Maintain clean vendor and customer records and a documented approval trail.

Payroll & Contractors

• Prepare and process payroll with our provider, including Quebec source deductions, RRSP and group insurance remittances, CNESST, and year-end T4 and RL-1 slips.
• Manage freelancer and contractor invoicing and payments, including T4A and RL-1 reporting where required.
• Reconcile payroll to the general ledger every period.

Sales Tax & Compliance

• Prepare and file GST/QST and HST returns, US sales tax where we have obligations, and international VAT/GST filings with our advisors — on time, every time.
• Handle CRA and Revenu Québec correspondence and keep the documentation that makes audits, reviews, and grant claims painless.
• Track filing deadlines and registration requirements as we enter new markets..

Month-End Close & Reporting

• Own the close checklist: accruals, prepaids, fixed assets, inventory and COGS entries with Operations and the Head of Finance, and reconciliation to Shopify and Amazon reporting.
• Deliver clean, close-ready books and a supporting package the Head of Finance can build the monthly reporting from.
• Keep the accounting stack automated and documented — bank feeds, settlement integrations, receipt capture, and AI tooling — so the close gets faster every quarter.

What We're Looking For

• 4+ years of full-cycle bookkeeping, ideally in an e-commerce, consumer products, or inventory-based business..
  • Hands-on with Quebec payroll, GST/QST, and CRA and Revenu Québec filings.
  • Experience with multi-currency accounting and with reconciling Shopify payouts and Amazon settlements.
  • Comfortable with inventory and COGS accounting.
  • Proficient in QuickBooks Online or Xero, a settlement tool such as A2X, a receipt-capture tool such as Dext, and Excel or Google Sheets.
  • Precise, organized, deadline-driven, and discreet with confidential information.
  • AI-native and automation-minded — you would rather build the integration than key the entries.

• Fluent in French and English.

• Bonus: accounting diploma (DEC or AEC) or CPA track; 3PL and landed-cost accounting; US sales tax experience.

Benefits

• Remote-first work environment.

• 4 weeks vacation.

• 5 personal/sick days.

• Group insurance.
  • RRSP matching up to $5,000.
  • $500 annual health & wellness flex allowance.

• Legendary Christmas party.
