WHO WE ARE

Since 1995, Mark Edwards Apparel has been a leader in the design and manufacturing of women’s and children’s apparel. Based in Montréal, we partner with major retailers across North America and international markets to develop trend-driven, commercial collections that move quickly from concept to market.

Our success is built on creativity, agility, collaboration, and a strong understanding of our retail partners and their customers. As we continue to grow, we are looking for talented people who want to contribute, develop, and build with us.

POSITION SUMMARY

Mark Edwards Apparel is looking for an experienced and detail-oriented Accounts Payable Supervisor to lead our accounts payable function.

Reporting to the Controller, you will supervise the day-to-day accounts payable operations, lead and develop the AP team, and ensure that local and international vendors – including our overseas factories, freight, and service partners – are paid accurately and on time. You will oversee the full AP cycle in our accounting software, from invoice processing and approvals to payment runs, month-end close, and reconciliations.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on leader with strong technical accounting skills, a passion for accuracy and controls, and the drive to make processes more efficient as our business grows.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Team Leadership

  • Supervise, train, and coach the accounts payable team, assigning work and setting priorities
  • Review the team’s work for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with company policies
  • Act as the escalation point for complex vendor, payment, and processing issues
  • Support the development and performance of team members

Accounts Payable Operations

  • Oversee full-cycle accounts payable in our accounting software, including invoice entry, coding, three-way matching (purchase order, receipt, invoice), and approval workflows
  • Prepare and review weekly payment runs by cheque, EFT, and wire transfer, in Canadian and US dollars
  • Manage the vendor master file, including new vendor setup, banking information verification, and updates
  • Resolve discrepancies, disputes, and payment inquiries with vendors and internal departments
  • Oversee the processing of employee expense reports and corporate credit card reconciliations
  • Review freight, customs, and import-related invoices in collaboration with Logistics and Production

Month-End Close & Reporting

  • Lead the AP month-end close, including accruals, prepaid expenses, and cut-off procedures
  • Reconcile the AP subledger to the general ledger and reconcile vendor statements
  • Prepare AP aging reports and weekly cash requirement forecasts for the Controller
  • Support the year-end audit by preparing schedules and supporting documentation

Controls & Process Improvement

  • Maintain strong internal controls, including segregation of duties, approval limits, and fraud-prevention measures
  • Ensure invoices comply with GST/QST and other sales tax requirements
  • Identify and implement process improvements and automation opportunities within our accounting software
  • Develop and maintain AP policies, procedures, and documentation

WHAT YOU BRING

  • DEC, AEC, or Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or a related field; a CPA designation (completed or in progress) is considered an asset
  • Minimum 5 years of full-cycle accounts payable experience, including at least 2 years in a supervisory or team lead role
  • Strong experience with accounting software or ERP systems (such as Zoho Books, Sage, QuickBooks, or Acumatica); experience with Zoho is considered an asset
  • Solid knowledge of GST/QST, month-end close procedures, accruals, and reconciliations
  • Experience with multi-currency payments and international vendors; experience in apparel, manufacturing, or import is considered an asset
  • Advanced Excel skills, including pivot tables and lookups
  • Strong leadership, coaching, and communication skills
  • Exceptional attention to detail and commitment to accuracy and internal controls
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet strict deadlines
  • Discretion and professionalism in handling confidential financial information
