Accounting Clerk (New Grad) 26041

Are you a recent graduate or early‑career professional eager to build and grow your accounting career? We're looking for an Accounting Clerk to join our growing team.  This is a brand new role as we continue to grow and expand across Eastern Canada. This position will be based in our head office in Fredericton, NB.

At GEMTEC, we offer something different. We’re an employee-owned, 400-person multidisciplinary consulting firm—not too big, not too small. We’re large enough to compete head-to-head with publicly traded engineering giants, but still small enough to maintain the culture and flexibility of a close-knit team.  Our size and hands-on management style let us move quickly, embrace new opportunities, and empower our people to shape their own careers—without getting lost in corporate bureaucracy.

A typical day on the job might look like:

• Preparing day-to-day financial transactions, including verifying, classifying, and recording accounts payable data.
• Verifying and investigating discrepancies, if any, by reconciling vendor accounts and monthly vendor statements.
• Assisting with month-end and year-end closing activities related to billing and accounts payable.
• Generating and processing customer invoices accurately and promptly, adhering to established billing cycles.
• Verifying the accuracy of billing data, including pricing, quantities, and discounts, to minimize errors and discrepancies.
• Ensuring compliance with company billing policies and procedures, as well as relevant regulatory guidelines.
• Processing employee expenses and payments.
• Completing data entry, scanning documents, filling (electronically and paper records).
• Maintaining billing records and updating client information in the billing system as needed.
• Following up on outstanding payments and assisting in collections efforts, if required.
• Preparing and distributing regular reports on billing activities, outstanding accounts, and other relevant metrics.
• Providing support to other finance and accounting functions as necessary.

The good stuff you get:

• Permanent full-time (37.5 hours per week)
• Complete health & dental coverage including vision, paramedical services, and Teladoc
• Retirement planning made easier with a 5% employer match on your contributions
• Paid time off (vacation and sick days) plus Employee & Family Assistance Program when you need it
• Office year-end closure (paid time off between Christmas and the New Year)
• Mentorship from senior members of the team and the opportunity to pursue a professional accounting designation.

Your background and what you bring:

• Associate or bachelor’s degree in accounting or a related field.
• Experience in a similar role would be considered an asset.
• Awareness of billing software and accounting systems (e.g., Deltek Vantagepoint.).
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, particularly Excel.

• Strong numerical and data entry skills with a high level of accuracy and attention to detail.
• Excellent organizational and time management abilities, able to meet deadlines consistently.
• Effective communication skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams.
• Familiarity with billing and invoicing regulations and practices.
• Basic knowledge of general accounting principles.
• Ability to work overtime during peak times and to meet deadlines

• Ability to handle sensitive and confidential information with integrity and discretion.
