About Willowest

Willowest Enterprise is a leading provider of furniture and interior solutions for hospitality and commercial spaces across North America. Our clients include major hotel brands, developers, and global organizations. We are driven by operational excellence, sustainable sourcing, and data-informed decision-making.

The Opportunity

We are hiring a Summer Co-op Student to support our finance and operations team, with a focus on bookkeeping and data analysis.

This is not a passive role. You will work directly with financial records, operational data, and real business challenges. Your work will impact how we track performance, control costs, and scale.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform bookkeeping tasks: data entry, invoice tracking, and reconciliation
• Assist with accounts payable and receivable management
• Support monthly financial reporting and variance analysis
• Organize and analyze datasets across sales, purchasing, and operations
• Build and maintain Excel-based reports and dashboards
• Identify data inconsistencies and propose improvements to workflows
• Support cross-functional projects involving finance and operations

What We’re Looking For

• Currently pursuing a degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, Data Analytics, or related field
• Strong Excel skills (formulas, pivot tables required; Power BI or similar tools are an asset)
• High attention to detail and accountability for accuracy
• Ability to think beyond tasks—understand what the numbers mean
• Strong organizational and time management skills
• Clear and professional communication

What You’ll Gain

• Hands-on exposure to real financial operations in a growing company
• Experience working with large-scale commercial projects and data
• Development of analytical and problem-solving skills
• Direct mentorship and performance feedback
• A realistic understanding of how business decisions are made

Career Opportunity

Successful candidates will have the opportunity to transition into a permanent full-time position based on performance, ownership, and contribution.

How to Apply

Please submit:

• Resume
• A brief cover letter (max 250 words): Describe a time you found an error or inefficiency in data or a process—what did you do?
