Looking to take the next step in your accounting career while gaining experience in the fashion industry?

At BESTSELLER, we're looking for a detail-oriented and organized Accounting Technician to join our Finance team. If you enjoy working with numbers, solving problems, and contributing to a fast-paced environment, this could be the opportunity for you!

YOUR BENEFITS

• Half-day Friday — work-life balanced. Year-round, you can end your day early if you're up to date on your workload!
• Group insurance — we've got you covered. BESTSELLER pays 75% of the cost of your group insurance plan, helping you access the coverage you need while keeping your employee contribution lower.
• RRSP program — invest in your future. After three months of service, you will become eligible to participate in our RRSP program and begin building your retirement savings.
• Virtual healthcare and well-being support — available anytime. Enjoy complimentary access to virtual healthcare and wellness applications, allowing you to connect with qualified health professionals remotely, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
• Four weeks of paid time away — because recharging matters. You will receive three weeks of vacation, along with 40 paid energizing hours, for a total of 160 paid hours away from work each year.
• Two paid emergency days — for the unexpected. You will also receive 16 paid emergency hours to use when an unforeseen personal situation requires your attention.
• 50% employee discount — work in style. Enjoy 50% off at our JACK&JONES store locations and our online websites (JACK&JONES, VERO MODA, JJXX) and keep your wardrobe looking as good as your work.
• Exclusive sample sales — more fashion for less. Take advantage of regular employee sample sales featuring products from across our brand portfolio.
• Flexible hybrid schedule — find your balance. You will have the flexibility to work remotely one day per week (Wednesday or Friday), based on the needs of the role and the team.
• Open and collaborative workspace — no cubicles here. You will have your own dedicated workspace while sitting alongside your colleagues in an environment designed to encourage communication and teamwork.
• A positive employee experience — grow, contribute and enjoy the journey. We want you to feel challenged, supported and empowered to make an impact. You will have opportunities to learn and develop — and we believe work should be enjoyable along the way.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES:

As an Accounting Technician, you'll play an important role in supporting our daily accounting operations, ensuring accurate financial transactions, timely payments, and well-maintained financial records.

Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

• Process a high volume of invoices, match invoices to purchase orders, verify transaction details, schedule payments, and obtain the necessary approvals.
• Prepare general ledger entries, record account transactions, and perform accounting analyses.
• Reconcile account statements and transactions to ensure accuracy and completeness.
• Investigate and resolve account discrepancies by reviewing documentation and coordinating stop payments, payment corrections, or adjustments.
• Review and process employee expense reports, ensuring accuracy and compliance with internal approval procedures.
• Communicate with external suppliers and internal departments to resolve accounting and payment-related inquiries.
• Organize and maintain accounting documentation, ensuring records are accurate, accessible, and audit-ready.

YOUR PROFILE:

We are looking for an organized, detail-oriented, and proactive individual who can manage multiple priorities while maintaining a high level of accuracy. You enjoy collaborating with others, solving problems, and contributing to efficient financial operations.

We hire for mindset and train for skills, but it would be great if you bring the following to the table:

• Minimum 1-2 years of relevant accounting experience, including accounts payable experience (required).
• AEC, DEC, or DEP in Accounting, Finance, or an equivalent qualification.
