The Semios Group includes trusted brands such as Semios, Agworld, Altrac, and Greenbook. We continue to drive the next generation of digital agriculture, supporting growers, agronomists and ag retailers in improving sustainability and profitability.

We know our journey is only achievable by having a great team who shares ideas, tries new things, and learns as we go.

Who you are:

You're driven by purpose and motivated by work that matters. You're looking for more than a role, you want to be part of a growing, forward-thinking company solving real-world challenges to improve how farming works, today and for the future.

What you will do:

We are currently looking to hire two Junior Accountants. As a Junior Accountant, you may support core accounting functions such as accounts payable, accounts receivable and general ledger entries and reconciliations.

Accounts Payable:

• Accurately process vendor invoices, ensuring proper coding, approval, and timely payment.
• Prepare and process electronic payments, checks, and wire transfers with accuracy and efficiency.
• Manage employee expenses ensuring compliance, approval, and correct coding; upload transactions to accounting software on time.
• Verify and reconcile credit card statements, address discrepancies with cardholders and departments, and accurately record transactions in the ERP system.

Accounts Receivable:

• Generate sales invoices in accordance with contract terms, company policies, and regional regulatory requirements.
• Lead and coordinate the payment reminder and collection processes, collaborating closely with the sales team to optimize cash flow and minimize outstanding receivables.
• Ensure accurate and timely financial transactions are entered into Microsoft Dynamics, such as intercompany transactions and customer payment information from bank, or other sources.
• Apply payments accurately to customer accounts and assist in AR reconciliations and reporting.

Accounting Processes:

• Complete month-end processing tasks and reports, such as journal entries, reconciliation of balance sheet Trade Debtor Schedules and preparation of month end customer account reconciliation.
• Ensure accounting practices align with accounting assertions, comply with company policies, and reflect the commercial terms of customer contracts.
• Prepare and distribute financial summaries and performance metrics to support reporting and analysis.
• Manage department inboxes, responding to inquiries professionally and in a timely manner.
• Maintain accurate financial records, including cash receipts, payments, and adjustments, to support audits and financial reporting.
• Compile documentation for audits and financial reviews.

We want you to succeed, so you will need:

• Completion of or working towards a degree or diploma in accounting or a related discipline
• 1+ years of relevant accounting experience, preferably in accounts payable or receivable
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy in financial record-keeping
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively within a team
• A problem-solving mindset with a proactive approach to resolving issues

Nice to Have:

• Experience improving accounting processes and driving operational efficiencies
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Dynamics
• Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Excel and Google Suite

Salary range: $59,500 to $65,000 per year

We publish a salary range to provide transparency and represent the full growth potential of the role; as a result, offers are made based on demonstrated mastery and experience and generally fall near the midpoint.

Why this is the opportunity for you:

• Purposeful Work: Make a global impact by advancing sustainable food production.
• Our People: Work with a fun, collaborative, and supportive team.
• Recharge: Generous vacation policy, company-paid holidays and year-end winter break.
• Work Flexibility: Hybrid working arrangements and strong work-life balance culture.
• Prioritize Your Well-Being: Access comprehensive health plans designed to support your physical and mental health.
• Group RRSP, which includes a 3% company paid match after three months of employment
• Office location that is convenient via transit and bike paths
