Across the 80,000-plus accounting and finance postings we track, there are 34 live accounts payable roles in the Greater Toronto Area right now, spread over about 30 employers, and not one of them is remote, so if you want an AP job in Toronto you are commuting at least a few days a week and the real question is what that commute buys you. Posted pay in those listings centers on $60,000 CAD, which is a bit above what the federal wage data says for the broader accounting clerk bucket, and that gap is the most useful thing I found in the whole pull.
How many accounts payable jobs are there in Toronto, and what do they pay?
As of October 2026 we have 34 de-duplicated AP postings in the GTA, and 24 of them show a pay figure (23 annual, one hourly at $24 to $28), which leaves 10 that make you ask in the interview like it's 2009, and that's a pain in the ass when you're trying to decide where to spend an afternoon. Taking the midpoint of each posted annual range, the median lands at $60,000 CAD, the quartiles sit around $55,000 and $70,000, and the full spread runs from a $40,000 to $45,000 junior administrator seat up to $72,000 to $80,000 for a senior specialist at a retail services company and the same ceiling at a big construction firm.
Compare that with Job Bank Canada's wage report for accounting clerks in the Toronto region, which puts the median at $25.64 an hour (low $18.46, high $38.46, from the Labour Force Survey, reference period 2023-2024). Stretch $25.64 across a 2,080-hour year and you get roughly $53,300, so employers posting AP roles today are advertising about 12 percent over that median, and I'd read that as a mix of newer data, a real title bump for the word "specialist," and the fact that postings show what companies hope to pay while the survey shows what people already earn. Job Bank's category is accounting clerks in general and AP is only one slice of it, so treat the comparison as a rough yardstick and not a verdict.
Who is hiring AP staff in Toronto?
The employer list is more mixed than I expected, and I like that because it means you aren't betting your search on one industry. Logistics and transport show up (Manitoulin, Charger Logistics), so do real estate and property (JLL, Realstar), construction (Aecon), a law firm (McCarthy Tetrault), retail and pharmacy (OSL, Oms / Royal Drugs), a university, an e-reader company (Rakuten Kobo), and a handful of mid-size operators you've probably never heard of that pay perfectly well. Titles vary a lot too - specialist, coordinator, administrator, associate, accountant - and the damn thing about that is you'll miss a third of the market if you only search the word "specialist."
If you want to see what's open this week, the Audit Friendly job board links straight to each employer's own career page, no recruiter middleman, and the listings change daily so I'm deliberately not pasting them here.
Are there remote or hybrid AP jobs in Toronto?
Zero remote and six that mention a hybrid arrangement (JLL, Rakuten Kobo, Realstar, McCarthy Tetrault, iAnthus, Yorkville University), with four of the 34 being contract roles, so the Toronto AP market is an in-office market that is slowly letting people work from home a day or two. I get that this is a letdown if you came looking for remote, and I'd say the honest counterweight is that AP is a team sport at most of these companies, with invoices arriving on paper at the logistics shops and approvals chasing people down the hall, which is exactly why those jobs are still on-site. If remote is non-negotiable you'll have better luck with the remote accounting jobs page, and our look at remote AP and AR clerk jobs explains why they are scarce.
How does Toronto compare with other AP markets?
We've written up accounts payable jobs in Chicago and accounts payable jobs in Houston, and the pattern repeats: AP is a big, steady, mostly in-person category that rarely makes anyone rich and almost never goes away, which is a decent trade given how much of the job market is bullshit right now. What differs in Toronto is that about 70 percent of the postings state pay up front (24 of 34), which is a hell of a lot better than most markets we track and a good reason to negotiate from the posted band instead of guessing.
What I'd do
Search every title variant, not only "specialist," and sort by the ones that show pay. Pick two or three employers from different industries so a slow quarter in one doesn't stall your whole search. Learn the invoice-capture and approval tools these teams use, because AP is where AI is landing first and the people who can run the automation will get the interesting version of the job; we walked through that in where to start with AI in accounts payable. And when you land an interview, anchor on the $60,000 middle and ask where in the band the role sits, because for a few of these postings the spread is 15 to 20 grand and the number you hear first shapes everything after.
If you're also weighing payroll, the payroll specialist jobs in Toronto post is the natural next read.
Frequently asked questions
How much does an accounts payable specialist make in Toronto?
Posted ranges for Toronto-area AP roles center on about $60,000 CAD a year (midpoint median across 23 postings with annual pay), with most falling between roughly $55,000 and $70,000.
Is accounts payable a good career in Toronto?
It's a stable, always-needed function with a wide mix of employers and a clear path to senior specialist and accounting roles, and it pays above the federal accounting clerk median, though it rarely pays like a CPA track.
Do I need a degree or CPA for AP jobs in Toronto?
Most AP postings ask for experience and software skills before credentials, and a CPA designation is uncommon for specialist and coordinator titles; it matters more once you move toward accounting manager or controller seats.
Are there remote accounts payable jobs in Toronto?
In our current data none of the 34 Toronto-area AP postings are fully remote, and six mention hybrid, so plan on being in an office at least part of the week.
Where do I find current AP openings in Toronto?
The Audit Friendly job board pulls openings from employer career pages daily and links directly to the employer's application page.
If you're sitting on a Toronto AP search, pick the three employers above that you'd actually enjoy working for and apply this week, then go build something small that shows you can automate a piece of the invoice workflow, because that one thing will set you apart from the pile.
