Accounts Payable Analyst and Administrator

Summary

The Accounts Payable Analyst is responsible for providing payable and administrative support for colleagues. The role will include working closely with our managers and leadership team by processing proprietary and confidential information.  Processing administration documents and data entry as assigned may include entries into company accounting and safety programs. This position is based out of the Calgary head office, reporting to the Chief Financial Officer. The job may occasionally involve travel to the company’s other offices in Peace River and Grande Prairie.

While this role will initially involve a heavy data entry component to help learn and understand the business, it will provide a potential CPA candidate with other accounting duties as well (including but not limited to internal auditing and establishment of internal controls, bank reconciliations, gradual exposure to monthly reporting).

Members of the finance team are expected to hold confidentiality to the highest standard and understand the information being entered is not for discussion with co-workers unless it is for cross training purposes. Such discussions would be deemed a breach of confidentiality. The role is important for the smooth-running of our business and requires accurate and timely entry of information.
