Office Assistant jobs in Kamloops, BC

About the role

We’re a growing, locally-owned company operating across logistics and light manufacturing. The business is expanding quickly, and we’re looking for an organized, dependable Bookkeeper / Administrator to take ownership of our day-to-day finances and keep the office running smoothly.

This is a true 50/50 role: roughly half your time on full-cycle bookkeeping, and half on the administrative and front-of-house work that keeps a busy operation moving. You’ll report directly to ownership and have real visibility into how the business runs — and real influence over how it’s organized.

If you like wearing two hats, take pride in clean books, and want to be the person everyone trusts to “just handle it,” this is for you.

What you’ll do

Bookkeeping (≈50%)

• Manage full-cycle bookkeeping in QuickBooks Online — AR, AP, invoicing, and collections

• Reconcile bank and credit card accounts and keep the books current and accurate

• Prepare and file GST/PST remittances and coordinate CRA remittances

• Run payroll for hourly staff and contractors, including source deductions, ROEs, and year-end T4s

• Handle month-end close and produce clear financial summaries for ownership

• Track expenses, manage receipts, and maintain organized financial records

• Work with our external accountant to support year-end and tax filing

Administration (≈50%)

• Be the first point of contact — phones, email, and walk-ins — with a professional, helpful manner

• Keep the office running: supplies, filing systems, document organization, and general upkeep

• Manage paperwork and documentation — contracts, vendor onboarding, certificates of insurance, and compliance records

• Support HR administration — onboarding paperwork, timesheet collection, and record-keeping

• Coordinate correspondence, data entry, and CRM/record upkeep

• Assist ownership and operations with scheduling and ad-hoc projects as they come up

What we’re looking for

• 2+ years of full-cycle bookkeeping experience

• Proficiency in QuickBooks Online

• Solid working knowledge of Canadian payroll, GST/PST, and CRA remittances

• Strong Excel / Google Sheets skills

• Excellent organization and attention to detail — you catch the things others miss

• Discretion and good judgment with confidential financial and personnel information

• Clear, professional written and verbal communication

• Comfortable working independently and managing competing priorities

Nice to have

• Experience in a logistics, fleet, trades, or manufacturing environment

• A bookkeeping designation or payroll certification (CPB, PCP, or similar)

• Familiarity with multi-division or multi-entity bookkeeping

What we offer

• A stable, full-time role in a fast-growing, entrepreneurial company

• Direct working relationship with ownership and a real seat at the table

• Variety — no two days are the same

• Room to grow as the business does

• Competitive compensation based on your experience
