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 opportunity 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.
