GoMaterials is one of Canada's fastest-growing companies, recognized by Deloitte, the Globe & Mail, and the Lazaridis Scaleup Program. We’re revolutionizing how landscape contractors source plant and hardscape materials through a B2B marketplace that simplifies procurement in a traditionally outdated industry.
Since our inception, we have helped landscapers save time, money, and stress and plant over 1.5 million plants and trees. Led by a young and eager group of entrepreneurs, GoMaterials is aggressively expanding across North America. We are therefore looking for amazing people to add to our team!

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.
