Job description

Description

At Photonic our Accounting Specialist is the transactional foundation of our growing finance team. This role owns the accuracy and cleanliness of financial data entering the accounting system — ensuring business activity is recorded correctly, on time, and in accordance with company procedures. The right candidate takes pride in precision, handles high-volume work without losing attention to detail, and understands that clean transactional data is what makes everything above it work.

WHAT WE NEED YOU TO DO

Transactional Processing
  • Full-cycle accounts payable processing — invoice receipt, coding, approval workflow management, and vendor payments; including PO reconciliation and three-way match verification where applicable
  • Employee expense report processing, policy compliance review, and reimbursement coordination
  • Routine bank postings, recurring journal entries, and transactional payroll postings
  • Credit card transaction coding and reconciliation
Close Support
  • Complete assigned month-end close tasks including recurring journal entries, prepaid and accrual support schedules, bank reconciliation preparation, and transactional documentation — ensuring all deliverables are accurate, on time, and audit-ready
  • Flag data anomalies, coding issues, or unprocessed transactions for resolution prior to close
Data Quality
  • Maintain clean vendor master data, coding accuracy, and transaction documentation standards
  • Identify and escalate process gaps or recurring transactional issues that create downstream rework

WHAT YOU BRING TO OUR TEAM

  • BCom or diploma in Accounting, Business Administration, or a related field — or equivalent experience
  • 5+ years of accounts payable, bookkeeping, or transactional accounting experience, with demonstrated ownership of AP processes in a multi-entity or high-volume environment
  • Proficiency with ERP or accounting software; NetSuite or similar preferred
  • High attention to detail, high-volume processing accuracy, and strong deadline orientation
Preferred Qualifications:
  • CPA pursuit enrolled or planned - actively supported by the company and considered a strong asset
  • Experience in a technology company or high-growth environment in Canada
  • Exposure to expense management tools such as Float, Concur, or similar
  • Familiarity with PO-based purchasing workflows or inventory-adjacent transaction environments
  • Demonstrated experience using AI-enabled productivity tools (e.g., Microsoft Copilot or similar) to support reconciliation, documentation, and process improvement, with sound judgment around confidentiality and data quality

WHY YOU SHOULD WORK WITH US

  • Work closely with some of the brightest innovators in quantum technologies to drive breakthroughs that redefine computing
  • Enjoy a fast-paced and fun environment where you can try new things while solving innovative challenges every day
  • Inclusive company culture that values collaboration
  • Regular social events and fun activities keep our global team connected
  • Competitive compensation package including base salary, stock options, and relocation assistance for global talent
  • Comprehensive benefits including extended health, dental, life, long term disability, an employee assistance program, parental leave top-ups, and a flexible spending account
