Job description

Retailogists scales retail businesses as a true growth partner, accountable for measurable business outcomes, not deliverables. We build the strategy, then execute the roadmap ourselves. Our team spans every function that moves the P&L: sales, marketing, operations, finance, and technology, working as one to drive profitable growth. Alongside our growth partner practice, we build and sell our own tech products (Avia, Orca, Kora, and what's next), each one born out of a real client problem.

About the Role

We're hiring an Accounting Technician to keep our financial operations accurate and running smoothly, day to day. You'll own the books: bookkeeping, invoicing, payroll, and reconciliations. You'll also manage the vendors, contracts, and day-to-day administration that come with running a company, and pitch in supporting our leadership team when needed. You won't just execute this function, you'll improve it: spotting where our financial and administrative processes are inefficient and fixing them before they become a problem. This is a hands-on, detail-heavy role in a fast-paced environment.

Why Join Us

• Work directly with the founders and leadership team, with real visibility into how the business runs
• Own the function, not just the tasks: you'll have real say in how our financial and administrative processes work, not just execute what's handed to you
• A varied role: no two days look the same, and you'll never be bored doing one task all day
• Fast-paced, low-bureaucracy, performance-based environment where results are directly rewarded
• Work alongside a dynamic team of A players, where everyone is visibly good at their job and the bar stays high
• Five days a week together in our Old Port office, and lunch is on us every Friday with the whole team

• Reconcile bank accounts, credit cards, and payment platforms
• Organize receipts, invoices, contracts, and supporting financial documentation
• Assist with monthly and year-end financial closing activities, and support cash-flow tracking and reporting for management
• Coordinate with the company's external accountants, bookkeepers, and tax advisors

Payroll and Employee Administration

• Coordinate and process payroll accurately and within established deadlines
• Maintain employee payroll information, vacation balances, commissions, bonuses, and other compensation records
• Manage employee onboarding and offboarding documentation, and prepare employment letters, contracts, and payroll forms

Office Management and Administrative Support

• Manage the daily operations of the Montreal office, including supplies, equipment, and vendor relationships (landlords, building management, maintenance, cleaners, couriers)
• Welcome visitors, clients, candidates, and service providers, and help coordinate internal meetings, team events, and company activities
• Maintain office policies, procedures, and shared administrative records, and help ensure employees have the equipment and resources they need
• Provide administrative support to the leadership team when needed, including preparing documents, reports, presentations, and internal communications
• Manage travel arrangements, reservations, and itineraries
• Maintain corporate documents, insurance records, contracts, and vendor agreements, and coordinate related signatures, approvals, and renewal deadlines
