We are looking for a proactive and detailed oriented Staff Accountant & Accounts Payable to join our Finance team. This role goes beyond traditional accounts payable tasks—it’s ideal for someone who enjoys operational problem-solving, improving processes, working across departments, and bringing structure and insight to financial workflows.
The successful candidate will own the day-to-day Accounts Payable function while also contributing to process optimization, system enhancements, data analysis, and reporting. You will work closely with Procurement, Finance, and Operations teams, leveraging tools like Coupa and NetSuite to drive accuracy, efficiency, and continuous improvement in our Procure-to-Pay cycle.
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.
What You Will Be Doing (Responsibilities):
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.
