Join Our Startup as a Part-Time Accounting System Consultant!
Hi! I'm Alex, and I'm the founder of Maple Method Consulting. We’re an Alberta-based business that’s growing fast and we need a Accounting wizard to help us keep up! This is a flexible, part-time role (20+ hrs/week) with the option to work more hours as desired. Take a look at the information below and please reach out if you're intrigued.
You do not need to be a Salesforce administrator today. We’re looking for someone with the right mindset, curiosity, and accounting foundation who wants to grow into a systems consultant role.
What do we do?
Maple Method Consulting is a consulting company that supports businesses using Salesforce as their core operating system, with a specialization in Rootstock ERP.
We partner closely with our clients to understand their accounting processes, systems, and day-to-day operations, so we can provide practical, hands-on support. This includes troubleshooting errors, improving system performance, supporting users, providing training, and continuously enhancing how their systems work.
As a growing consulting business, this role offers the opportunity to gain exposure to a variety of systems, challenges, and industries over time as we expand our client base.
Our focus is simple: help businesses run more smoothly by making Salesforce and Rootstock easier to use, more efficient, and better aligned with how their teams actually work.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Initially, you’ll share and use your accounting knowledge to support client processes while learning the Salesforce/Rootstock system. You will learn both the accounting and operations side of the system but eventually support the accounting division.
Overtime, you'll grow into areas such as:
- Solving puzzles! From tricky error messages to “why isn’t this report showing what I want?”
- Building cool things like optimized work processes (Ex. Screen flows, automations)
- Teaching new users how to use the system
- Making systems work better, faster, and smoother for real users.
- Working directly with clients as your knowledge and involvement grows.
You’ll Fit Right In If You:
- Have experience in accounting, finance and/or business operations
- Have Salesforce Admin experience (any level is welcome).
- Love problem solving + making systems more efficient.
Why You’ll Love This Role:
- 100% remote (Alberta residency preferred/prioritized).
- Flexible hours - set your schedule around when you work best, while maintaining reasonable availability during standard business hours (Mon to Fri, 8am - 5pm MT) for client support and collaboration. For example, if you have a class or appointment or a lunch date at 11am, you don't need to ask for permission, just make sure your calendar accurately reflects your availability.
- ~$25-$30/hour starting rate (based on experience).
- Get in at the ground floor of a growing company.
- Huge growth opportunities, this role can expand as far as you want to take it, in almost any direction.
Performance Incentive Bonus
We offer a monthly performance bonus tied to billable work:
- $200 bonus pool for every 80 approved client billable hours
- Distributed across eligible employees based on contribution
Example:
If total billed hours = 160 → $400 bonus pool
If you contributed 48 hours (30%), you receive $120
Qualifications:
- Accounting experience
- Salesforce/Rootstock ERP experience (user or admin) is considered a significant asset.
- Strong communication skills, initiative, and analytical problem-solving ability.
- Must be able to work independently
- Willingness and ability to learn new systems.
More Details:
- Fully remote position; Alberta-based candidates preferred.
- No benefits are currently offered, once we grow enough (~10-24 months away) we will introduce a benefits package and you will have a direct say in what type of package we go with
- You will need your own computer & internet access.
If you’re excited about building something new, shaping how systems run, and being part of a collaborative and supportive startup, this is your chance. The great thing about working as a Systems Consultant is that you get to do a little bit of everything which makes your day-to-day interesting. Apply today and let’s make some Salesforce magic!
