Accounts Technician – Engineering Projects

Own a portfolio of engineering projects and turn project data into clear, accurate invoices—fast. If you like numbers, problem‑solving, and communicating with Project Managers and leaders to unblock issues and get paid, this role is for you.

Role summary
We’re looking for a highly methodical, autonomous Accounts Technician to join our Accounting team in our Toronto office in Mississauga. Your core mission is to run monthly invoicing for a high volume of projects (Time & Material and Lump Sum), follow up relentlessly, and support collections—using reports and project evolution data to anticipate questions and resolve issues quickly.

• Own your list of projects and deliver monthly billing end‑to‑end (T&M + Lump Sum).
• Read and use automated reports/project data to validate billing, spot gaps, and escalate the right questions early.
• Work daily with PMs and executives: summarize issues clearly, go straight to the point, and drive decisions.
• Lead collections follow‑ups with persistence and professionalism; close loops without getting discouraged.

Secondary

• Support with payables as needed (e.g., entering vendor invoices, reviewing expense reports, reconciling credit cards).
• Participate in other accounting team processes as needed (e.g. account reconciliation)

What we’re looking for

• Extremely organized, disciplined, and able to prioritize in a recurring monthly cycle.
• Strong problem‑solving and “one step ahead” mindset (anticipate what’s missing / what’s coming next).
• Excellent communication and simplification skills (written + verbal).
• Comfortable working with minimal formal training; collaborative with the team and knowledge sharing.
• Intermediate Excel (VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, pivot tables).
• Basic understanding of accounting fundamentals
• Bilingual (French/English) is a strong asset.

Benefits – What We Have to Offer:

• Competitive Salary: Competitive salary commensurate with experience and industry standards;
• Health and Wellness Programs: Comprehensive group health insurance coverage from day one (medical, dental, vision, childcare);

• Work-Life Balance: 3 weeks of regular vacation with 1 week of paid vacation during the Christmas holidays. Personal/Sick leave of almost 1 week;
• Inclusive Culture: A diverse, flexible, and non-conformist work environment that values equity, work-life balance, and promotes efficiency in daily tasks with enormous growth opportunities;
• Team-Building Activities: Lunch & Learn sessions, team retreats, outdoor activities, family get-togethers, and workshops;
