We are looking for an Accounts Payable/Accounts Receivable Clerk to join our team - bring your ambition and shape what comes next.

Be part of something bigger. Build with us today - Now. For tomorrow.

At Baker Tilly, we care about the impact you make. That’s why we’re invested in your growth from day one - because the steps you take today define your tomorrow.

Baker Tilly is a leading advisory and accounting firm dedicated to building better futures. With global reach and local roots, we combine the scale of a network with the trust of strong relationships. From audit and tax to consulting and specialist advisory services, we help clients navigate complexity and seize opportunity with clarity.

We are seeking an Accounts Payable/Accounts Receivable Clerk to join our Finance team. Reporting to the Manager, Finance, this full-time contract position runs through June 30, 2027, with potential for extension or conversion to permanent employment. This role will support day-to-day financial operations through monitoring bank receipts and posting in our practice management system daily, assisting clients with payment processing over the phone, and working closely with our Collections Manager to support collection of aged accounts receivables. It will also provide accounts payable support and assistance with credit card transaction tracking and compiling. This role combines accurate, detail-oriented accounting work with confident, professional client communication that reflects the firm’s standards and protects client relationships.

Your Role:

Accounts Receivable & Collections

• Track and post cash receipts accurately and promptly to client accounts in our practice management system, investigate unidentified payments, and resolve posting discrepancies.

• Work with the Collections Manager to identify and prioritize overdue client accounts, contact clients by phone and email, and actively follow up to secure payment while maintaining the firm’s professional standards and client relationships.

• Maintain clear records of collection activity and payment commitments, follow up on promised payments, and escalate billing questions, disputed balances, or collection concerns to the Collections Manager.

Accounts Payable & Payment Support

• Assist with accounts payable processing, including entering invoices, confirming supporting documentation and approvals, and responding to payment inquiries.

• Support routine banking tasks, including preparing and processing electronic funds transfer (EFT) payment batches twice a month in accordance with the firm’s procedures, as well as preparing physical cheques as needed.

• Assist with credit card reconciliations, including collecting receipts, matching transactions to supporting documentation and following up on missing receipts or discrepancies.

Firm Support

• Support new client setup in the practice management system, ensuring required information is complete and accurately entered.

• Respond promptly and professionally to routine finance-related questions from colleagues across the firm, referring more complex matters to the appropriate Finance team member.

• Perform other duties as assigned to support the Finance team and the firm.

What you bring to the table:

• A strong customer service background, with the ability to build trust through competence, respond thoughtfully to questions, and resolve issues through reliable follow-through. You genuinely enjoy interacting with others, working as part of a team in a busy professional services environment, and solving problems.

• Exceptional written and spoken communication skills, including clear, polished emails and a confident, professional telephone manner. Direct collections experience is an asset, but not a requirement.

• The ability to learn quickly and become increasingly independent: connect information, ask thoughtful questions, apply what you learn, and work through unfamiliar problems. Over time, you improve speed through helping build better processes.

• Consistently high accuracy and strong attention to detail. You follow procedures and approval requirements, check for anything unusual, and seek guidance rather than make assumptions.

• A team-first mindset, integrity, and discretion with confidential information. You take ownership of commitments, share information, welcome feedback, and help colleagues succeed.

• Accounting or bookkeeping education, experience in AR/AP, or familiarity with finance systems is an asset, as is comfort using Microsoft Excel, Outlook, and Word, and the confidence to learn new software and processes.

What’s in it for you?

Work Environment & Perks

• A collaborative, open-door culture with direct access to leadership
• Fully stocked kitchen with snacks, coffee and seasonal treats
• Smart casual dress code (client/day specific)
• Regular team events and social activities throughout the year

Where you’ll work: Vancouver, BC

Job type: Temporary, Full-time (6 month contract)

Your schedule: Monday to Friday

Salary range: $50,000 - $60,000 per annum
