The Role :

We're looking for a detail-oriented and proactive Accounts Payable Accounting Associate to support our Americas operations. In this role, you'll focus on accounting-related activities rather than invoice and payment processing.

  • Review and validate W-8 and W-9 tax forms for compliance.

    • Tax & Compliance :

  • Apply appropriate use and lease tax codes for U.S. invoices.
  • Prepare monthly sales tax reports for various provinces in Canada.
  • Support U.S. 1099 preparation and year-end reporting.
  • Track and report U.S. Unclaimed Property in accordance with state regulations.

    • Systems & Program Management :

  • Administer the Concur employee reimbursement system, including troubleshooting and user support.
  • Manage the American Express Corporate Card Program for Travel & Expense cards, including applications, reconciliation and policy compliance.

    • Accounting & Reporting :

  • Prepare and post journal entries related to accounts payable activities.
  • Prepare a weekly payment forecast for U.S. and Canadian operations.
  • Conduct SOX compliance reviews and support internal and external audits.

    • Other Duties :

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Perform ad hoc accounting and reporting tasks as needed.

    • What We're Looking For

  • 2+ years of experience in accounts payable or accounting role.
  • Familiarity with US and Canada non-income tax regulations and reporting requirements.
  • Experience with Concur, Coupa, Oracle, or similar ERP systems.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

    • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Experience with SOX compliance and audit support.
  • Knowledge of U.S. Unclaimed Property laws and 1099 reporting.
