Job Description

ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT

Are you looking for a challenge and opportunities for growth? Do you take pride in organization and accuracy? GL Accounts is looking for a detail-oriented Administrative Assistant with strong computer and math skills. If you're organized by nature, good with computers, and like learning new things, we want you on our team.

This part-time role offers a mix of administrative tasks, bookkeeping, and client service. While prior experience in bookkeeping is an asset, it is not required (we'll teach you everything you need to know). This is a fantastic opportunity to expand your skills with some real-world experience.

You will be working out of a quiet office in downtown Lindsay, and must be productive while working independently. In the early stages, the business owner (Geoff) will work with you closely to demonstrate tasks and help develop your skills. As your experience increases, you can expect to spend more time working independently.
