Job description

Role: Full-time, on-site (4 days/week)
Location: Etobicoke, Ontario (Airport area)
Comp: $45,000-$55,000 base + Annual Bonus

About Us

A profitable, family-run, growing group of companies in the Industrial Packaging and Distribution space. Proudly Canadian and entrepreneurial, with multiple divisions.

We serve customers across North America, with core operations and leadership based in Canada. With 60+ employees and a tightly run finance team, we’re scaling while maintaining a practical, no-politics, get-it-done culture.

How We Work

Clean books start with clean transactions. We run a lean, high-output finance team where accuracy and timeliness matter every day.

This role reports to the Controller and owns the daily flow of AP and AR across multiple divisions: entering vendor invoices, matching purchase orders, sending customer invoices, applying payments, and following up on overdue accounts. You’ll work closely with the rest of the finance team and coordinate with customer service to resolve billing issues.

This is an entry point into a real finance team, not a back-office silo. You’ll see how a multi-division product business actually runs, and there’s room to grow as the group grows.

About You

You're an early-career accounting professional who takes pride in getting details right the first time.

You're comfortable with high transaction volume and repetitive work done well; you'd rather flag an inconsistency than let it slide, and you stay organized when invoices, payments, and follow-ups are all moving at once.

You're here to build a career, not just process transactions; you want to understand how AP and AR flow through a business, and you get things done without being chased.

You Bring:

• Hands-on experience processing AP or AR transactions (invoice entry, PO matching, payments, customer invoicing)

• A solid grasp of accounting fundamentals and how AP and AR flow through to the general ledger

• Ability to maintain accuracy and organization under high transaction volume

• Working Excel skills (sorting, filtering, lookups, basic formulas)

• Familiarity with month-end tasks such as journal entries and account reconciliations

• Clear, professional communication when following up with vendors and customers

Qualifications:

• 1-3 years of experience in accounting, AP/AR, or bookkeeping, OR a recent graduate of an Accounting, Finance, or Business program with solid work experience in any field

• Post-secondary education in Accounting, Finance, or Business Administration

• Understanding of basic accounting principles (debits, credits, reconciliations)

• Highly organized with strong attention to detail

• Ability to manage multiple priorities and daily deadlines

Bonus Points:

• Experience with an ERP system (Epicor Prophet 21, SAP, or QuickBooks)

• Exposure to a product-based or distribution business

• Experience supporting audit prep or month-end close

• Co-op or internship experience on an accounting team

Perks:

• This role includes full benefits + Annual Bonus Plan

• Stable, profitable company with real room to grow
