Hughes Collective is pleased to present an exciting opportunity on behalf of our client.
Title: Accounts Payable Clerk
Location: Saskatoon, SK
Reporting to: President/Owner, Day-to-day direction provided by the client’s finance and accounting team (Manager, Corporate Accounting).
Our Client
Our client is a well-established Canadian organization with deep roots in the uranium industry and a significant presence in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin. With a history spanning more than 70 years, the company has built its reputation through technical expertise, disciplined execution, and a long-term approach to developing some of Canada’s most significant uranium assets.
Today, the organization is entering an important stage of growth. Its flagship project in northern Saskatchewan is advancing through construction, creating an environment where strong systems, financial discipline, and reliable execution matter. Behind that work is a team responsible for ensuring the organization has the structure and support needed to deliver on increasingly complex operations.
This is an organization where accountability carries weight. People who succeed here tend to be thoughtful, dependable, and comfortable working within established processes while recognizing when something can be done better. The work is detailed, expectations are high, and each person plays a role in supporting the larger operation.
The Opportunity
As the Accounts Payable Clerk, you’ll be embedded within the finance and accounting function of a growing organization in Saskatchewan’s uranium sector. At a time when the business is moving through a significant stage of project development and construction, the volume, pace, and importance of accurate financial processing continue to grow.
You’ll become part of the day-to-day rhythm of the accounting team, working in a high-volume environment where accuracy, communication, and follow-through are essential. Your work will connect you with accountants, project and operational teams, procurement, external partners, and vendors, giving you visibility across different areas of the organization.
This is a role for someone who understands that valuable accounts payable work goes beyond processing invoices. You’ll help keep information moving, resolve issues before they become problems, and ensure payments and financial records are accurate and dependable. Your attention to detail will contribute to smooth month-end processes, strong financial controls, and the broader work happening across the organization.
Key Responsibilities
As the Accounts Payable Clerk, you will work collaboratively and be responsible for:
- Accounts Payable Operations
- Process high-volume vendor invoices accurately and in a timely manner.
- Validate invoice packages against purchase orders and supporting documentation within SAP.
- Ensure costs are accurately recorded in alignment with project and financial controls.
- Code invoices to the appropriate general ledger accounts and cost centres.
- Support payment processing activities in accordance with established schedules and controls.
2. Vendor & Internal Coordination
- Respond to vendor inquiries regarding invoice status and payments.
- Follow up on invoice approvals and outstanding items.
- Liaise with procurement, project controls, and external partners to resolve invoice discrepancies.
- Work closely with internal accounting teams and stakeholders to support timely processing and accurate reporting.
3. Month-End, Controls & Process Support
- Support month-end close activities related to accounts payable.
- Assist with AP aging, reconciliations, and reporting, including maintaining invoice tracking logs and providing accurate invoice status information.
- Maintain accurate, well-organized AP documentation in compliance with internal controls and accounting policies.
- Identify and support improvements to AP processes that enhance efficiency and accuracy.
Qualifications
As the Accounts Payable Clerk, you will possess the following qualifications and qualities:
The Essentials (Hard Skills)
- Post-secondary education in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or a related field.
- 2+ years of experience in an accounts payable or transactional accounting role.

- Experience supporting month-end close activities related to accounts payable, including accruals and reconciliations.
- High degree of accuracy and attention to detail in a deadline-driven environment.

- Comfortable working in a high-volume environment where priorities can shift as projects and operations evolve.
- Able to work independently while collaborating closely with accounting, project, procurement, and operational stakeholders.
- Accountable for your work and willing to follow an issue through to resolution rather than simply passing it along.
