About Farm Girl

Farm Girl is a Canadian better-for-you cereal and granola company on a serious growth trajectory. We’ve built a strong foundation across Canadian grocery and we’re now expanding into the US, with launches at Sprouts and other major retailers. We’re a small, hands-on team that ships real product, moves fast, and is building something we’re proud of.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Finance Associate/Analyst to be the backbone of our finance function. You’ll report directly to the CFO and Controller — meaning daily mentorship and real exposure to how a growing CPG business is run financially.

Day to day, you’ll own the bookkeeping, AP, and AR that keep the business running. But this is not a narrow seat: as the most junior member of a lean, senior team, you’ll flex into whatever the business needs — reconciliations, month-end support, reporting, analysis, and ad-hoc projects.

If you want to learn corporate finance from the ground up with people who’ll invest in you, this is the role.

What You’ll Do

• Own day-to-day bookkeeping: process vendor invoices, code to GL, run weekly payment runs (EFT, wire, cheque), generate customer invoices, and apply cash receipts
• Reconcile retailer remittances and work through deduction backup including chargebacks, MCB, shortages, freight claims, and promotional clawbacks
• Reconcile bank and credit card accounts monthly
• Process employee expense reports and maintain clean, audit-ready records
• Support month-end close and assist with financial reporting
• Build spreadsheets and pull data to support analysis, budgeting, and decision-making
• Flex into ad-hoc finance projects as the company scales across Canada and the US

What We’re Looking For

• 1–4 years of accounting, bookkeeping, or finance experience (new grads with a strong internship welcome)
• Accounting or finance degree, or working toward a CPA designation
• Strong Excel skills and comfort working with numbers and data
• Experience with Xero or a comparable cloud accounting system (an asset)
• Detail-oriented, organized, and eager to take on more than the job description
• Clear, professional written communication
• A genuine desire to grow into a broader finance role

Nice to Have

• CPG, food and beverage, or wholesale industry experience
• Familiarity with retailer deductions (Loblaw, Sobeys, Metro, Costco, Walmart, Whole Foods)
• Exposure to US AR and multi-currency (USD/CAD) transactions

What You’ll Get

• Direct mentorship from a CFO and Controller — a rare chance to learn corporate finance at close range
• A clear path to grow into a more senior analyst or accounting role as the company scales
• Meaningful, visible work at a growing Canadian food brand with national and US distribution
• Full-time, in-office role with benefits

Benefits

• Dental care
• Vision care
• Life insurance
• Disability insurance
• Paid time off
• Store discount
