The Opportunity:

Reporting to the Financial Controller as a member of our Finance team out of our Whitehorse head office, the Accounts Payable Clerk is responsible for processing vendor invoices, managing payment cycles, and ensuring accurate financial records. This role goes beyond processing transactions: you'll be a key partner in maintaining strong vendor relationships and supporting our commitment to operational excellence.

Our ideal candidate will have accounts payable experience, exceptional attention to detail, and a genuine curiosity about how the Finance function supports the entire organization. The successful candidate for this role will have the opportunity to work with an innovative management team that encourages professional growth, cross-training, and deep understanding of the "why" behind every process.

At Solvest, we rely on an all-encompassing ERP system, Acumatica, as our single source of truth for all financial and project data. The ideal candidate for this role is a quick learner with the ability to master new systems swiftly. Prior experience with ERP systems is a significant advantage.

This is an office-based position that will require the successful candidate to work from our head office located in Whitehorse, Yukon.

Employment Status: Permanent Full Time – 36 hours per week trialing a 4-day work week

Wage Range: $25 - $36 per hour (based on experience) + annual profit-sharing bonus based on company performance

Benefits: Employer paid health and dental benefits; 4 paid sick days per year; paid vacation; employer paid gym membership and more

Who You Are:

You're naturally inquisitive: you don't just process invoices, you understand the story they tell. When you see a recurring expense, you wonder what project it supports. When a vendor sends an invoice, you're curious about the relationship and how timely payment impacts the business. You ask "why" not to challenge, but to truly understand how your work connects to the bigger picture.

You have an innate drive to learn beyond your role. Cross-training isn't a burden; it energizes you. You want to understand how accounts payable connects to receivables, how project accounting flows through the system, and how payroll timing affects cash flow. You see the Finance department as an interconnected ecosystem, and you want to understand every part of it.

You're meticulous by nature: not because someone told you to be, but because accuracy matters to you on a fundamental level. You catch the small discrepancies others might miss, and you feel genuine satisfaction when everything balances perfectly. You're proactive about improving processes because inefficiency bothers you, and you can't help but think of better ways to do things.

You thrive on relationships and collaboration. You understand that every invoice represents a vendor partner, every approval involves a colleague, and every question is an opportunity to learn. You communicate with clarity and professionalism, whether you're following up on a missing PO or explaining a payment timeline.
