Junior Accountant
Accounting & Finance
Montreal, QC, Canada
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.
