This is an excellent prospect for a recent graduate or someone early in their accounting career. You’ll gain hands-on experience, work alongside a supportive team, and see firsthand how a company’s financial operations run. You’ll ensure vendors are paid accurately and on time, with strong internal controls in place, while identifying ways to improve our processes.

- Process employee expense claims and make sure they follow our expense policy
- Monitor payment schedules and solve payment hiccups before they become headaches
- Distribute, file, and mail cheques according to our procedures
- Guard against payment errors, duplicate payments, and fraud
- Manage recurring vendor payments and reconciliations for company assets like cell phones, vehicle leases, and registrations
- Support month-end close and keep AP records tidy and audit-ready
- Answer vendor questions and act as the go-between for vendors, purchasing, and internal teams
- Partner with accounting, procurement, and other departments, communicating clearly about payment issues and approvals
- Share what you know, help onboard new teammates, and jump into process improvements, system changes, and special projects

What you bring to the team

- High school diploma required; 1+ years of accounts payable experience, or equivalent co-op or coursework, preferred




- Post-secondary education in Accounting or Finance is considered an asset
- Experience with Sage 300 and IBMi is considered an asset
- Intermediate proficiency with MS Office Suite, particularly Excel and Outlook
- Strong communicator who earns the confidence of vendors and colleagues through responsive, dependable follow-through
- Highly detail-oriented, with the ability to identify discrepancies and resolve routine accounting issues accurately
- Ability to manage multiple competing priorities and consistently meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment

How you will succeed

By the end of your first three months, you’ll be confidently processing vendor invoices and employee expense claims with accurate coding and proper approvals. You’ll know our systems and procedures well enough to spot a discrepancy, trace it to its source, and resolve it with the right people. Vendors and internal teams will know you as a reliable, responsive point of contact.
