Employment Type: Contract (6 months), with strong potential to transition to a permanent role

Location: Remote (Canada)

Rate: $35–45/hr

Industry: EdTech — Professional Continuing Education (CPD/CPE)

Position Type: New Role


About the Opportunity

Our client is a fast-growing EdTech company that helps accounting and finance professionals meet their continuing education requirements through engaging, on-demand content. They serve well over 100,000 professionals and hundreds of corporate clients, and have been recognized as one of North America's fastest-growing technology companies alongside multiple consecutive years of Great Place to Work certification.

The business is seasonal, and the finance function has historically relied on manual processes to manage its accounts payable and accounts receivable cycles. While the team has already shaved down a number of these manual steps, AP/AR still requires daily, hands-on attention — and gaps in coverage cause things to fall through the cracks quickly. This role exists to keep that engine running consistently while the broader team, which is young and ambitious, focuses on growth rather than getting pulled into invoice-level firefighting.

You'll own the full AP/AR cycle end to end — processing invoices, monitoring the shared inbox, and driving collections communication, particularly on harder-to-collect B2B accounts. You'll work closely with the Sales team on collections follow-up and manage the Finance Asks channel as the go-to resource for finance-related questions across the business.

This is a hands-on, detail-driven role in a business that values reliability and follow-through. For someone who's tech-savvy, comfortable with process-heavy work, and looking for a contract that could turn into something longer-term, there's a real path to permanence here.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage the full-cycle accounts payable process, including invoice intake, coding, approvals, and payment runs
  • Manage the full-cycle accounts receivable process, including invoicing, application of payments, and account reconciliation
  • Monitor and action the shared AP/AR inbox daily to prevent backlog and missed items
  • Process approximately 10–15 invoices per day with a high level of accuracy and attention to detail
  • Follow up proactively on outstanding invoices and collections, particularly on B2B accounts that are slow to pay
  • Partner closely with the Sales team to support and escalate collections conversations with clients
  • Own and manage the Finance Asks channel, responding to day-to-day finance questions from the broader team
  • Support finance operations tasks and manual processing as needed across AP and AR
  • Maintain consistency and reliability in daily processing to avoid items being missed or delayed

What You Bring

  • Experience managing full-cycle AP and AR processes in a hands-on, detail-intensive environment
  • Comfort working in a largely manual process environment, with the patience and attention to detail it requires
  • Tech-savvy enough to understand and work within multiple finance systems and platforms
  • Strong communication skills, particularly around invoice and collections follow-up
  • Experience or comfort collaborating cross-functionally with Sales on collections
  • Reliability and consistency — this role requires daily, dependable execution
  • Comfort operating in a contract role with the possibility of transitioning to permanent


Nice to Have

  • Experience with Salesforce
  • Experience with Plooto
  • Experience with Rillet ERP
