Senior Bookkeeper

TWR Canada is seeking a detail-oriented and experienced Senior Bookkeeper to join our Finance & Administration team in either a full-time or fractional capacity (30–40 hours/week). This role is ideal for a finance professional who thrives in a collaborative, mission-driven environment and is passionate about supporting ministry through excellence in financial stewardship, accuracy, and accountability.

Reporting to the Director of Finance & Administration, the Senior Bookkeeper will oversee full-cycle accounting functions, including accounts payable and receivable, payroll support, reconciliations, fund accounting, financial reporting, and audit preparation.
