- Supplier and staff support. Answer routine calls and emails about payment status and pass anything unusual to the accountant.
What they're asking for
- Education. High school diploma or equivalent; some post-secondary accounting or bookkeeping coursework is an asset.
- Experience. None required — the employer will train the right person on its systems and procedures.
- Computer skills. Comfortable with spreadsheets and basic data entry; willingness to learn the company's accounting software.
- Language. English at CLB 5 (intermediate) for reading invoices and communicating with suppliers and staff.
