This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to expand their skill set beyond AP and take on meaningful operational and analytical responsibilities in a growing, fast-paced organization.

• Manage the full AP lifecycle: invoice intake, coding, approvals, 2-way/3-way match, and payment processing
• Maintain an organized and efficient AP filing system and monitor outstanding items to ensure timely resolution
• Process supplier invoices and payments in Coupa and NetSuite, ensuring accuracy and compliance with internal controls
• Monitor requisitions and purchase orders in Coupa, ensuring proper approvals and policy compliance
• Analyze AP trends, aging, and spend patterns to provide insights and recommendations to management
• Assist in optimizing Coupa and NetSuite workflows—testing new features, refining approval flows, and updating configurations as needed
• Support Procurement and FP&A with vendor data analysis, spend classification, and forecasting inputs

What We Look For In You (Required Qualifications)

• 5+ years of experience in Accounts Payable, Accounting, or Business Operations
• Experience with ERP systems (NetSuite strongly preferred)
• Experience with procurement systems (Coupa a strong asset)
• Strong analytical skills and proficiency in Microsoft Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUP, data analysis)
• Strong organizational skills and a high degree of attention to detail
• Ability to learn quickly, think critically, and bring solutions—not just questions
• Comfortable working cross-functionally in a dynamic and fast-paced environment
• Understanding of accounting principles and month-end close processes

Work Environment

This is a hybrid position, with an expectation of 2 days per week in our Montreal office.
