As we continue to grow and modernize, we are seeking new employees to join our team.
Your Role
Do you love meat and have a desire to make an impact on a hard-working team of like-minded carnivores?
Our North Vancouver warehouse, production facility, not to mention our public-facing butcher shop and restaurant, is one of a kind.
We love being one of the best wholesale suppliers of locally-sourced, sustainably-raised meats and pride ourselves on our wide variety of house-made products.
We are seeking a hands-on Accounting Coordinator to support customer invoicing, accounts receivable, accounts payable and general accounting. The initial focus will be supporting Alberta customer invoicing and accounts receivable while providing cross-coverage for the British Columbia AR function. The role will also support AP and general accounting, with the opportunity to take on broader responsibilities as business needs evolve. The right candidate is accurate, resourceful and comfortable investigating discrepancies, coordinating across departments and improving recurring processes.
Responsibilities
Accounts Receivable & Customer Invoicing
- Prepare, import and validate customer invoices from Meat Manager into Sage 300; investigate missing items, setup issues and import exceptions.
- Coordinate with warehouse, delivery and sales teams to ensure time-sensitive invoices are completed accurately and ready for dispatch and customer communication.
- Support customer account setup, payment application, collections follow-up, aging review and accounts receivable reconciliations for Alberta and British Columbia operations.
- Support credit-note processing by confirming documentation, approvals and accurate accounting treatment before posting.
Accounts Payable & Vendor Support
- Process and support supplier invoices, statement reconciliations, payment preparation and vendor inquiries, including investigation of purchase, receiving or pricing discrepancies.
- Maintain complete supporting documentation, follow established approval and coding requirements, and provide cross-coverage for AP during peak periods, leave and changing workload. The role may take on broader AP responsibilities over time based on business needs.
General Accounting & Month-End Support
- Prepare assigned account reconciliations and journal-entry support, and investigate unmatched, aged or unusual transactions.
- Assist with month-end close, record maintenance and basic reporting for existing and new entities, with opportunities to expand month-end responsibilities as experience grows.
Process Improvement, Cross-Coverage & Business Expansion
- Document recurring processes, cross-train on key accounting tasks, identify avoidable manual steps and help develop practical controls and backup procedures.
- Support setup and ongoing transaction processing for the Alberta business and assist with accounting process or system changes as the business grows.
Qualifications
- At least three years of practical accounting experience, with hands-on exposure to both accounts receivable and accounts payable.
- Experience with high-volume invoicing, vendor or customer reconciliations, payment processing and resolving transaction exceptions.
- Comfortable working in Excel and an accounting or ERP system; Sage 300 and manufacturing experience are considered assets.
- CPA PEP student or actively working toward a CPA designation is considered an asset, but is not required.
- Strong attention to detail, accounting fundamentals, communication and follow-through, with the ability to take ownership of work and investigate issues independently.
Working Hours & Operational Requirements This role requires flexibility to align with warehouse, packing and delivery schedules. Some workdays may need to begin as early as 7:00 AM Pacific Time, particularly when order processing or invoicing cannot be completed the previous day. The regular schedule will be discussed based on operational needs.
About Us
Originally founded in 2007, Two Rivers quickly became the premier meat supplier to restaurants all across B.C.

In the beginning, we were just a handful of people working out of a very tiny space. There are a lot more of us today, and while our offices and warehouse are bigger, our purpose remains the same - share our love of outstanding, local food with passionate people.
Why Join Us
- Be part of a company that is proud of its product, people, and purpose.
- Join a collaborative, passionate, and entrepreneurial leadership team.
- Opportunity to modernize systems and shape the finance/Accounting function of a growing business.
- Competitive compensation and benefits package.
- Work in a beautiful North Vancouver location with an on-site restaurant, products you can be proud of, and some sweet employee perks along the way.
