Looking to take the next step in your accounting career while gaining experience in the fashion industry?
At BESTSELLER, we're looking for a detail-oriented and organized Accounting Technician to join our Finance team. If you enjoy working with numbers, solving problems, and contributing to a fast-paced environment, this could be the opportunity for you!

• Half-day Friday — work-life balanced. Year-round, you can end your day early if you're up to date on your workload!
• Group insurance — we've got you covered. BESTSELLER pays 75% of the cost of your group insurance plan, helping you access the coverage you need while keeping your employee contribution lower.
• RRSP program — invest in your future. After three months of service, you will become eligible to participate in our RRSP program and begin building your retirement savings.
• Virtual healthcare and well-being support — available anytime. Enjoy complimentary access to virtual healthcare and wellness applications, allowing you to connect with qualified health professionals remotely, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
• Four weeks of paid time away — because recharging matters. You will receive three weeks of vacation, along with 40 paid energizing hours, for a total of 160 paid hours away from work each year.
• Two paid emergency days — for the unexpected. You will also receive 16 paid emergency hours to use when an unforeseen personal situation requires your attention.
• 50% employee discount — work in style. Enjoy 50% off at our JACK&JONES store locations and our online websites (JACK&JONES, VERO MODA, JJXX) and keep your wardrobe looking as good as your work.
• Exclusive sample sales — more fashion for less. Take advantage of regular employee sample sales featuring products from across our brand portfolio.
• Flexible hybrid schedule — find your balance. You will have the flexibility to work remotely one day per week (Wednesday or Friday), based on the needs of the role and the team.
• Open and collaborative workspace — no cubicles here. You will have your own dedicated workspace while sitting alongside your colleagues in an environment designed to encourage communication and teamwork.
• A positive employee experience — grow, contribute and enjoy the journey. We want you to feel challenged, supported and empowered to make an impact. You will have opportunities to learn and develop — and we believe work should be enjoyable along the way.
