Senior Bookkeeper

ABOUT US 
At Talbot & Associates (T&A), we’re not your typical accounting firm. Founded right here in Manitoba in 1991, we’ve been making numbers look good and making clients smile for over 30 years. We’re a team of 90+ amazing humans who treat each other like family, share knowledge generously, and believe work should be rewarding and enjoyable.

We’re looking for someone highly organized, adaptable, and confident balancing multiple client files with precision and care. You’ll work closely with our leadership team, peers, and clients, so strong communication skills, a collaborative spirit, and a proactive approach are must-haves.
