Full-Charge Bookkeeper

About AmpThink

AmpThink is a Master Technology Integrator — we design and deploy the technology behind many of North America’s premier sports and entertainment venues, spanning wired and wireless networking, LED and large-format displays, IPTV, and audio/visual systems. Our customers include major sports organizations such as Maple Leafs Sports & Entertainment, the Calgary Flames, and the Buffalo Bills. Our Canadian operations run from our office in Fort Erie, Ontario, working hand-in-hand with our head office in Garland, Texas.

The Role

We are hiring a Full-Charge Bookkeeper to serve as the lead of our Canadian office in Fort Erie, reporting directly to AmpThink’s CFO in Garland, Texas. You will own the complete set of Canadian books, run the day-to-day of the office, and be our on-the-ground financial contact for “all things Canada.” It is an accounting-led role with a light set of office-management duties on top — and it comes with real ownership: you lead the Canadian office. Because AmpThink builds the technology inside major sports and entertainment venues, the books you keep sit behind real projects at real venues.

This is a genuinely cross-border opportunity. You will maintain a Canadian set of books that reports up to a U.S. parent — reconciling intercompany activity, working in both CAD and USD, and bridging Canadian requirements (GST/HST and CRA payroll remittances) with U.S. head-office processes. If you enjoy operating at the intersection of two countries’ accounting and tax systems, this role offers that variety every day.

AmpThink’s Canadian Practice lead is based here in Fort Erie but travels frequently, so day to day you will often be the on-site presence keeping the office and the books running — with the Practice lead and our U.S. finance team a call away. This is an on-site role well suited to someone in the Niagara region who wants a stable seat close to home, without the daily commute to Toronto — and, for a sports fan, the Buffalo Bills are right across the border.

The ideal candidate is an experienced full-charge bookkeeper — ideally with construction or project-based experience (job costing, work-in-progress, progress billing) — who wants the autonomy of leading a small office close to home. A CPA is welcome but not required; strong, hands-on bookkeeping is what matters.

This is a newly created position.

What You Will Do

• Own the full cycle of accounting for the Canadian entity — accounts payable and receivable, bank and general-ledger reconciliations, and journal entries — and support month-end and year-end close with clean, organized records
• Prepare and remit Canadian GST/HST and payroll source deductions to the CRA, or coordinate them with head office and external advisors
