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.

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.

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.
