About The Position

For over 40 years, The Butcher Shoppe has proudly earned its reputation as one of Ontario’s most trusted names in premium, custom-cut meats. From our beginnings as a small local butcher to serving some of the province’s most respected hotels, casinos, restaurants, and event venues, our commitment to craft, quality, and service has remained unwavering. Today, we are entering our next phase of growth. With ambitious plans to expand and scale over the next five years, we are investing heavily in our future, including major facility expansions and a full SAP S/4HANA implementation that will transform how we operate at scale. It is an exciting time to be part of The Butcher Shoppe story as we build on our legacy and modernize for the future. We are looking for a detail-oriented, process-driven Accounting Analyst to join our growing finance team at a pivotal moment in our business transformation. This is a broad, hands-on role that touches Accounts Payable, General Accounting, and a high-visibility SAP S/4HANA implementation, giving the right candidate exceptional exposure across the full finance function. Reporting directly to the Senior Director, Controller, this role owns the day-to-day AP function, supports period-end close and audit, and plays a key role in the rollout of our SAP implementation and Makira AP Automation platform. There are no direct reports. If you are a CPA candidate who thrives in a fast-paced environment and wants to be part of something bigger than a journal entry, this is your opportunity.
