We're Hiring: Alchemists/Accountants

Do you wish you could get paid to spend your days chatting with people on Zoom and Slack, sending little voice memos and answering questions, opening up conversations, and genuinely getting to know people’s dreams, desires, and challenges in the financial house of their business?

We are hiring an Alchemist/Accountant- someone who LOVES numbers and is a fully qualified accountant to support, engage and connect with our clients while helping them transform their relationship with money.

Are you an Alchemist/Accountant?

  • You’re the type of person that understands numbers and knows how having this information can change your life...you want to tell all your friends why they need to know their numbers and answer all their questions so they can see how they can grow their wealth!
  • You know that support is serving - especially when you’re talking to clients and helping them to understand the financial house of their business. The thrill of supporting gets you jumping out of bed in the morning! And you don’t mind answering those Slack messages or emails that sometimes come in hot and heavy!
  • We’ll set you up with our existing clients, you will perform superior bookkeeping services and connect with them on zoom every month. You will also ensure that they are supported by other team members - you aren’t in this alone.
  • You’ll be helping our clients choose to transform their relationship with money, grow their business, and set themselves free from the weight of stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. Supporting is simple when you are enrolling people into a service that genuinely helps people. All you have to do is have genuine, supportive conversations and create accurate, detailed financial records.

Let's get the bad news out of the way first.

  • The hours can be flexible, but they need to be consistent. Our clients rely on you, so this is a long-term gig - don’t apply if you're looking for a stopgap.  If you’re looking to squeeze out more work next to your other 5 clients, this is no longer the “coolest” job ever; it just became the “suckiest” and isn’t a good fit. 
  • We’re looking for someone who can join the team with part-time to full-time hours but feel like this is their full-time home, and this is NOT a fit for someone who is looking to build their own business/coaching practice.
  • Review points 1 & 2. 

Now let's talk about the good stuff!

  1. Our office is virtual...which means you can wear yoga pants, pajamas, or a costume. Really the idea is that you can wear whatever you want. Just think of the amazing money you’ll be saving on ‘work clothes’ and the time in the morning that you won’t have to spend on travel and clogging your pores with makeup. We only ask that you be available for our weekly team meeting. 
  2. The work is fun, fresh, and dynamic. You will be working directly with our team and clients. 
  3. We’re not big on stress. So, while we will expect you to work efficiently and get things done, we focus on open communication and getting things done right the first go around. We’re not big on double-checking your work or having a bunch of back-and-forths to complete a task.  Your work will be double-checked, but we’d really rather not.
  4. The hours are super flexible, + we support families. We will work with your schedule to get a routine that works for you and your life. We prefer that you’re within 3+/- hours of the Pacific Time zone as our company operates in PST.
  5. You will experience things, do things, grow and make decisions on things that no typical accountant role would ever allow you to do. 
  6. You’ll have a ton of autonomy; we encourage your intrapreneurial drive. There will be many opportunities to bring your ideas to the table and boss us around when you need us to get things done. Seriously -- we want you to take charge and be creative to get the results!  Be a problem solver, don’t wait for problems to be solved.
  7. You don’t have to run your own business! Maybe you’ve been around that block, and it wasn’t for you. Now you can have all the benefits of supporting people to create their dream businesses that provide freedom without all the headaches + expenses of actually building your own empire. It’s like the best of both worlds! You don’t want the pressures of marketing + growing your own business.

Alchemist/Accountant: Overview of the position

The Alchemist/Accountant is the superstar responsible for all personal, high-touch communication with clients through zoom, email, Slack, and the good old-fashioned telephone.

  • You’re fired up about our mission to help coaches and consultants transform their relationship with money because more money equals more impact - and we care about IMPACT. We believe that removing them from the day-to-day finances improves their quality of life, allows them to grow + develop, creates the space for the business to grow + earn more...and gives them the space they need to create a life they enjoy waking up to. Because when we grow + scale businesses, entrepreneurs have the power to be more generous, decide where they spend their money + truly change the world.
  • You will be communicating with our clients, community + team. So, you need to enjoy talking with people and giving/getting direction, and be able to do it with love, compassion and empathy...even if you’re having a shit day. High emotional intelligence is vital to this role, as is the ability to have difficult conversations from time to time.
  • You are the ruler of Slack - sending messages that support the client and team.
  • You are highly organized, always remember everyone's name, and love being of service. You know that our customers' lives are 1000x better when they have our support and enroll in our services, and you are here to serve them.
  • You are meticulous in your work. We’re looking for someone who understands the difference between efficiency and productivity and gets shit done. (Oh, and we occasionally swear during zoom meetings…not much (that may or may not be true)…but sometimes a joke is only funny with an F-bomb). 
  • You share our company values.   We are actively investing in and working to build an equitable, inclusive, anti-racist company from the inside out. We encourage you to apply ONLY if you share those values.

In short, your job is to help us in any way you can drive our mission forward + continue to improve the experience and results for our clients.  And to have lots of fun at work (who wants a job that isn’t fun?!?). 

But I don’t expect perfection for you to qualify for this job. Tools are teachable, but we expect you to have a solid understanding of the online business world and a keen interest in transformative coaching. We expect intelligence, energy, organization, resourcefulness and a get-it-done attitude.

This job description is not all-inclusive, and certain activities, duties, or responsibilities may be required of the employee as needed.

APPLICATION DETAILS:

We will likely get a lot of applications for this role, and we simply don’t have time to interview that many candidates, so make this stand out if you want a job that will change the entire trajectory of your life. 

If this is a job that gets you so excited that you would even do it for free, we would totally accept that offer from you. But if you prefer compensation and phenomenal benefits (and we totally get it…we prefer getting paid as well), this is what we offer: 

  • The rate for this role starts at $35/hr plus bonuses and profit sharing,  with room to grow as you grow and add more value to the company and our clients. 
  • This is a part-time or full-time job. Part-time means a minimum of 20 hours a week. 
  • This is a virtual role, so you can work from wherever is most comfortable -- but we’d prefer someone who is within 3 hours +/- of the Pacific Time zone. 

In addition to being detailed, you must follow systems and processes. In fact, to prove that, when you apply for this position, you must use the secret subject line for the email -- it must include “I am an Alchemy fanatic.” Yep, that’s our little trick to sort out the people who blanket send their resumes to anyone and everyone, from the folks (that’s you) who are truly interested in this position. 

We are looking to bring our new colleague on board as soon as possible, but we will spend the necessary time to find the best fit both in abilities and culturally. 

TO APPLY:

Email your resume to hello@alchemyaccounting.ca with the secret subject line. 

We can’t wait to meet you!
