Inventory Coordinator & Staff Accountant (In-Store, Hands-On Role)

Location: Bosley’s by Pet Valu – Langley, BC

Job Overview

We are seeking a reliable, detail-oriented, and motivated Inventory Coordinator & Staff Accountant to join our Bosley’s by Pet Valu store in Langley, BC.

This is primarily a hands-on, in-store inventory management position, not a traditional office or desk-based accounting job.

The role combines inventory coordination, product ordering, stock management, and accounting responsibilities.

The typical weekly workload is divided as follows:

- Approximately 80% – Inventory Management & Store Operations: Four days per week spent actively working throughout the store, checking inventory levels, reviewing product movement, placing orders, identifying stock shortages, and coordinating with store management.
- Approximately 20% – Accounting & Bookkeeping: One day per week dedicated to QuickBooks, bookkeeping, invoice processing, reconciliations, and other accounting-related responsibilities.

The successful candidate must be comfortable spending most of their working time on the retail floor, moving between aisles with a laptop, reviewing products and inventory levels, and managing the store’s ordering requirements.

We are looking for someone who enjoys a wide-ranging, active work environment and can take ownership of both inventory management and financial recordkeeping.

Key Responsibilities

Inventory Management & Ordering (Primary Responsibility – Approximately 80%)

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys a combination of financial recordkeeping and hands-on retail operations.

Most of your working week will be spent actively managing inventory within the store, rather than sitting at a desk.

You should enjoy walking the store floor, identifying inventory needs, placing orders, solving stock-related problems, and helping ensure the store remains properly stocked.

You should also be confident handling QuickBooks and routine accounting responsibilities for approximately one day each week.

We value reliability, initiative, accuracy, and a willingness to take ownership of the store’s inventory and ordering processes.
