Prime Freight is a Montreal-based international freight forwarder, founded in 1991. We move cargo by ocean, air and road for Canadian retailers and importers, mostly between Asia and North America, using our own technology platform and a small, close-knit team.

We are looking for a sharp, organized person to own our accounts payable and receivable. You will be the go-to person for every dollar coming in and going out, in both CAD and USD.

Run our weekly EFT payments to ocean carriers, trucking companies and overseas agents, and send remittance details

bank reconciliations and backup for our external accountants

What you bring
DEC in Accounting and Management Techniques, AEC in accounting, or equivalent experience
2+ years in accounts payable and receivable, ideally in freight forwarding, logistics, customs brokerage or import/export

Comfort with multi-currency transactions (CAD and USD) and sales taxes (GST/QST)
French and English, spoken and written
Organized and accurate, and able to chase a customer for payment firmly and politely

Why English is required
