About the role

Solvest – Bookkeeper – Job Posting

Solvest – Who We Are:
Solvest began operations in the Yukon in 2015 and we have since established ourselves as the standard for renewable energy services in Northern and remote regions. Our core values are Innovation, Trust, Empowerment, and Tenacity.

What We Offer:

  • A people-focused workplace; our employees are the center of our culture.
  • A chance to contribute to a greener and more inclusive future.
  • Working with a great team.
  • We promote from within.
  • Work life balance – we are currently trialing a 4-day work week!
  • Competitive compensation.
  • Open book financials.
  • Training.
  • Employer-paid gym membership.
  • Employer-paid health benefits.

The Opportunity:
As a valued member of the Finance team, the Bookkeeper is responsible for a variety of accounting tasks, including full cycle bookkeeping and payroll.

Our ideal candidate will have accounting/financial experience, strong organizational skills, and an ability to be extremely detail oriented. The successful candidate for this role will have the opportunity to work with an innovative management team that encourages professional growth and development!

At Solvest, we rely on an all-encompassing ERP system, Acumatica, as our single source of truth for all financial and project data. The ideal candidate for this role is a quick learner with the ability to master new systems swiftly. Prior experience with ERP systems is a significant advantage.

This is an office-based position that will require the successful candidate to work from our head office located in Whitehorse, Yukon and allows for temporary mobile work as well.

Employment Status: Permanent Full Time – 36 hours per week trialing a 4-day work week

Wage Range: $30 - $45 per hour (based on experience) + annual profit-sharing bonus based on company

Benefits: Employer paid health and dental benefits; 4 paid sick days per year; paid vacation; employer paid gym membership and more!

Who You Are:
You’re not your average bookkeeper. Yes, you’re accurate, organized, and detail-oriented—but you also think beyond the numbers. You see how your work connects to the bigger picture and are motivated to improve systems, streamline processes, and support smart decision-making.

You take ownership of your role, ask thoughtful questions, and bring ideas forward. You’re adaptable when things shift, proactive when something needs fixing, and always looking for ways to make the books (and the business) better. If you're looking for a role where your precision, initiative, and big-picture mindset are truly valued—you’ll feel right at home here.

Job Description:
The chosen candidate will be trained and expected to perform the following tasks:

  • Identify potential improvements to the company financial record keeping or cash flow tracking processes and discuss them with the financial controller.
  • Identify potential job funding sources that can supplement employee payroll, liaise with the funders to determine employee eligibility, and submit applications, supporting documents, and final reports.
  • Identify opportunities to streamline use of Acumatica (ERP system) to improve company accounting operations and financial reporting and discuss them with the financial controller or senior management team.
  • Collaborate with each department in the company to provide financial support to employees of all levels.
