Bookkeeping & Administrative Assistant (Construction & Development)

Location & Employment Details

• Fully remote, based in the Philippines


• Non-client-facing support role


• Part-time: 20 hours per week to start, with a clear path to increased hours and scope as the business grows


• Flexible scheduling, adjustable on a rolling bi-weekly basis


• 2–3 hours of weekly overlap with North American (Eastern) business hours; any additional meetings scheduled in advance

About the Company

We are a rapidly growing Canada-based construction and development company specializing in pre-engineered garden suites, laneway homes, and accessory dwelling units. We deliver turnkey, fixed-price projects end to end — from feasibility and permits through foundation, assembly, and final handover — often completing builds in under 60 days.

Our model is built on price transparency and budget discipline: our price is our price, and our projects come in on time and on budget. As we scale across the Greater Toronto Area, we are building out the back-office function that keeps every project accurate, organized, and profitable.

About the Role

This role exists to protect the financial accuracy our fixed-price model depends on. As project volume grows, payment tracking, invoicing, and bookkeeping have outgrown what leadership can manage directly — and small errors in a fixed-price build come straight out of margin.

We are hiring a detail-driven bookkeeping and administrative partner to own day-to-day payment tracking, invoicing, and QuickBooks Online bookkeeping, along with the scheduling and file organization that keep projects moving. The goal is straightforward: keep our books clean and current so we always know where each project stands, and free leadership to focus on building.

You will start part-time, with genuine room to grow in hours and responsibility as you prove you can carry the workload.
