Bookkeeper
MacLennan Serratore LLP
Who we are
MacLennan Serratore LLP is a people-first law firm in Ottawa specializing in real estate development law – with a primary focus on condominium developments. Whether it’s acquiring land, coordinating with developers, or managing complex bulk closings, we are trusted advisors throughout the project lifecycle.
We have a team culture rooted in collaboration, flexibility, and accountability. At MacLennan Serratore LLP, everyone lends a hand. We support each other across roles, meet regularly to brainstorm improvements, and encourage growth at every level. Whether it’s a lawyer jumping in on administrative work or a clerk helping streamline operations, we pitch in where needed and value learning, transparency, and humour along the way.
The opportunity
We’re hiring a temporary Bookkeeper to cover a parental leave. Reporting to the Managing Partners, in this role you'll be responsible for managing daily trust transactions, issuing cheques, maintaining condo-specific financial records, and contributing to overall financial compliance. The employment term is expected to be 7 months, but may stretch beyond that.
As the ideal candidate, you are numerically savvy, detail-oriented, and eager to learn. You’re comfortable working independently but know how to contribute to a collaborative team. You take ownership, love process improvement, and care about getting the small things right.
We’re an agile and flexible team, so we’re open to hiring a term employee on a full-time schedule, or a self-employed independent bookkeeper who’s looking to fill 20+ hours/week.
Our staff have the freedom to work from home or from our office in Ottawa.
Key responsibilities
- Process and manage trust account transactions, including daily wires and cheque issuance.
- Operate our accounting software, ActionStep (formerly Soluno).
- Assist with financial reporting and compliance.
- Support general firm administration – optionally including HR or operations tasks.
Skills and qualifications
- 2+ years’ experience in hands-on bookkeeping. Experience in a legal accounting environment is a strong asset.
- Post-secondary education in accounting.
- Confidence working with numbers and financial systems.
- Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.
- Proficiency with accounting software. Experience using ActionStep (formerly Soluno) is a strong asset.
- Willingness to pitch in across business functions as needed.
- Friendly, proactive attitude and ability to grow into new responsibilities.
