AP/AR Specialist Location: On-site/Toronto (4 days/week) Role: Full Time Permanent About Us A profitable, family-run, growing group of companies in the Industrial Packaging and Distribution space. Proudly Canadian and entrepreneurial, with multiple divisions. We serve customers across North America, with core operations and leadership based in Canada. With 60+ employees and a tightly run finance team, we're scaling while maintaining a practical, no-politics, get-it-done culture. How We Work Clean books start with clean transactions. We run a lean, high-output finance team where accuracy and timeliness matter every day.
