GoMaterials is one of Canada's fastest-growing companies, recognized by Deloitte, Globe & Mail, and the Lazaridis Scaleup Program. We’re revolutionizing how landscape contractors source plant and hardscape materials through a B2B marketplace that simplifies procurement in a traditionally outdated industry.
Since our inception, we have helped landscapers save time, money, and stress and plant over 1.5 million plants and trees. Led by a young and eager group of entrepreneurs, GoMaterials is aggressively expanding across North America. We are therefore looking for amazing people to add to our team!
About the Role:
We're looking for a Junior Accountant to join our growing finance team and help strengthen our accounting operations. In this role, you’ll take on our day-to-day accounts payable processes while also supporting general ledger accounting and month-end close alongside our finance team.
This is an excellent chance for someone early in their accounting career who wants hands-on experience across the full accounting cycle in a fast-paced, evolving startup environment.
What You’ll Do:
- Accounts Payable: Process supplier payments for purchased orders, ensuring payments are accurate, timely, and properly recorded.
- Supplier Communication: Act as a point of contact for suppliers when bill discrepancies arise — reaching out to resolve issues, handling material rejections, and securing credits or corrected invoices as needed.
- Vendor Bill Validation: Support the vendor bill validation process, including uploading bills and coordinating with the Operations team to investigate and resolve discrepancies.
- Monitor, investigate, and clear bank transactions daily.
- Prepare and post bank and credit card reconciliations.
- Prepare and post month-end transactions, accruals, and journal entries.
- Complete monthly balance sheet reconciliations.
- Prepare and maintain sales tax accounts for Canada and the US.
- Ensure timely processing of overhead expenses and expense reimbursements.
- Maintain customer and supplier profiles in the ERP.
- Assist with the year-end external review.
- Facilitate periodic clean-up of Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable ledgers.
- Contribute to ongoing process improvement, including tightening timelines on the current month-end close process and helping streamline AP workflows as we automate.
- Assist with ad-hoc requests, reports, projects, and duties.
What You’ll Need:
- Diploma or degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or a related field
- 0-2 years of experience in bookkeeping, accounts payable, or accounting roles; accounting internships are an asset but not necessary.
- Intermediate proficiency in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.
- Attention to Detail: A high level of precision when processing payments, validating bills, posting entries, and reconciling accounts — consistently catching discrepancies before they become larger issues.
- Communication & Collaboration: A clear, professional communicator with suppliers and internal teams, comfortable handling billing questions, rejections, and discrepancies with tact.
- Organization & Prioritization: Able to manage a high volume of open items and competing deadlines without losing accuracy.
- Self-starter with a genuine willingness to learn and grow into broader accounting responsibilities.
- Bilingual in English and French
Nice to Have:
- Experience with QuickBooks Online or another ERP / accounting system.
- Exposure to accounts payable or finance operations in a high-growth or startup environment.
- Experience supporting month-end close or assisting in audits.
- Understanding of accrual-based accounting principles.
- Familiarity with automation tools or accounting software integrations.
