Junior Accountant​/Accounts Recievable

THE ROLE

Donald's Fine Foods is a family-owned specialty meat processing and distribution company with six plants across Western Canada. We're not a corporate behemoth. We're a tight team that serves domestic and international markets, values straight talk, and actually means it when we say integrity matters.

We need someone sharp with numbers, confident with customers, and ready to own the AR function like it's theirs.

THE ROLE

You'll report to the Assistant Controller and run the daily accounts receivable cycle across the company. Think: cash flow guardian, customer relationship balancer, and process optimizer rolled into one.

This isn't just data entry. You'll be the person tracking down payments, issuing credit memos, spotting financial risk before it becomes a problem, and keeping our cash flow clean. You'll also handle procurement and replenishment of non-meat products to keep operations moving.

• Set up new customers properly based on credit applications
• Own the aging report and present it weekly to the Assistant Controller
• Chase down payments and follow up on overdue balances (tactfully but firmly)
• Issue payment reminders and collection letters per company policy
• Upload invoices to customer portals accurately and on time
• Process daily cash flow transactions and credit charges
• Flag AR risk early and clearly
• Prepare daily cash deposits (counting, reconciling, logging)
• Complete cash flow processing in the ERP system

• You're the only person authorized to issue credit memos company-wide
• Issue credits based on signed authorizations
• Communicate updates to customers and send revised statements
• Generate weekly and monthly credit summaries for management review

• Print and track plant expense invoices for manager approval
• Follow up on outstanding approvals (you'll need to nudge people)
• Clean up open sales orders at month-end to ensure accurate GL posting
• Reconcile dry goods receiving discrepancies between Accounting, Warehouse, and Vendors
• Pull ad hoc reports, dig into discrepancies, solve problems with data

• File, organize, liaise with departments, customers, and vendors
• Tackle whatever comes up (this is a small team, flexibility matters)

• Diploma in Accounting (pursuing or planning to pursue CPA designation)
• Minimum 1 year of accounting experience
• Comfort with Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook)
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Excellent written and spoken English
• You are able to speak Mandarin or Cantonese
• Ability to communicate clearly with customers, vendors, and internal teams

People who value:

• Customer Focus – We measure success by how well we serve people
• Integrity – Honesty, fairness, responsibility, and trust in every interaction
• Respect – For employees, customers, suppliers, and community
• Quality – We don't cut corners (except on meat, obviously)
• Safety – We take care of our people

If you want a role where you're not just a cog in the machine, where your work directly impacts cash flow and customer relationships, and where you can grow your accounting career in a real business, let's talk.

You'll work in a family-owned business where decisions are made quickly, people know your name, and your contributions are visible. No endless bureaucracy. No getting lost in the org chart. Just solid work, real accountability, and a team that values competence and character.

Benefits: Full stack of company paid benefits
