TEEMA is working with an established organization in Richmond to add an Accounts Payable Specialist to their accounting team.
This role is ideal for someone early in their accounting career who already has hands-on AP experience and wants broader exposure to corporate accounting. Along with owning core AP activities, you’ll have the opportunity to support month-end, tax-related work, audits, and ongoing improvements to accounting processes.
The Role
You’ll help keep the AP function running smoothly by managing invoices, payments, vendor inquiries, and supporting documentation. Your responsibilities will include:
- Reviewing and processing invoices each week
- Verifying invoice coding, approvals, and supporting documentation before payment
- Preparing weekly EFT and cheque payment runs
- Handling additional payments, including tax and manual payments
- Responding to vendor questions and resolving invoice or payment discrepancies
- Preparing and posting monthly journal entries
- Assisting with AP-related month-end close activities
- Preparing schedules and working papers for tax reporting
- Supporting the accounting team during GST and corporate tax audits
- Maintaining organized and accurate AP records
- Working with internal teams to resolve accounting and payment issues
- Identifying opportunities to streamline AP workflows and strengthen existing processes
- Supporting other accounting activities as the needs of the team evolve
What You Bring
- 1+ years of hands-on Accounts Payable experience
- Experience working with a steady or high volume of invoices and payments
- Post-secondary education in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related discipline
- Comfortable working in Excel and other Microsoft Office applications
- An interest in improving processes rather than simply following existing ones
Why Consider This Opportunity?
This position offers exposure beyond traditional invoice processing. You’ll work closely with the accounting team and gain experience across AP, month-end accounting, journal entries, tax reporting, audits, and process improvement.
Compensation: $50,000–$55,000 + benefits
