About Us

A profitable, family-run, growing group of companies in the Industrial Packaging and Distribution space. Proudly Canadian and entrepreneurial, with multiple divisions.

We serve customers across North America, with core operations and leadership based in Canada. With 60+ employees and a tightly run finance team, we're scaling while maintaining a practical, no-politics, get-it-done culture.

How We Work

Clean books start with clean transactions. We run a lean, high-output finance team where accuracy and timeliness matter every day.

This role reports to the Controller and owns the daily flow of AP and AR across multiple divisions: entering vendor invoices, matching purchase orders, sending customer invoices, applying payments, and following up on overdue accounts. You'll work closely with the rest of the finance team and coordinate with customer service to resolve billing issues.

This is an entry point into a real finance team, not a back-office silo. You'll see how a multi-division product business actually runs, and there's room to grow as the group grows.

About You

You're an early-career accounting professional who takes pride in getting details right the first time.

You're comfortable with high transaction volume and repetitive work done well; you'd rather flag an inconsistency than let it slide, and you stay organized when invoices, payments, and follow-ups are all moving at once.

You're here to build a career, not just process transactions; you want to understand how AP and AR flow through a business, and you get things done without being chased.
