About The Role MoveSmart Rentals is hiring an experienced Senior Accounts Payable Specialist to manage day-to-day accounts payable activities across our Canadian operations. This role is designed for someone who has strong full-cycle accounts payable experience, understands Canadian accounting practices, and can independently manage invoices, vendor accounts, payment preparation, reconciliations, and accounts payable reporting. We are not looking for an entry-level bookkeeper or someone whose experience is limited to invoice entry.
We need an experienced accounting professional who can take ownership of the accounts payable process, communicate confidently with Canadian vendors and internal departments, and maintain accurate financial records across multiple companies and properties.

The recorded interview will include questions designed to assess your accounts payable experience, knowledge of Canadian accounting practices, HST understanding, technical skills, professional judgment, and ability to independently manage complex AP responsibilities.
