About the Role

Immediate growth related opening in the corporate accounting department of a successful distribution company.

We're looking for a detail-oriented accounting professional to take ownership of our accounts receivable function — invoicing, cash application, and account reconciliation — while lending support across the broader accounting team. This role is a great fit for someone who wants to grow their responsibilities over time and is genuinely willing to help wherever the team needs it, whether that's general ledger work, reporting, or special projects.

What You'll Do

Own the day-to-day accounts receivable cycle: generate customer invoices, apply cash receipts, and process approved credit and debit memos

Reconcile A/R accounts and proactively research discrepancies, partnering with other teams to resolve issues quickly

Lend a hand on the accounts payable side as needed — reviewing invoices, creating vouchers, and researching outstanding payables

Prepare journal entries and account reconciliations to support the general ledger

Assist with treasury-related tasks, including applying cash receipts and processing payments

Contribute to business licensing, registrations, and sales tax reporting as needed

Spot opportunities to improve accounting processes and take initiative on problem-solving

Stay in regular contact with other departments to gather information, resolve transaction issues, and keep management informed of any concerns

Put together reports and records for leadership as requested

Take on additional responsibilities as they come up — we're looking for someone eager to grow and pitch in wherever it's needed

4+ years of accounting or related experience

A degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business is a plus, but not required — we're happy to consider equivalent experience

Inventory accounting experience is a plus

Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and juggling multiple priorities

Proficient with Microsoft Office and accounting software; quick to pick up new systems and platforms

A strong communicator who builds rapport easily with people at all levels, internally and externally

Sharp attention to detail with solid organizational and follow-up skills

A proactive problem-solver who takes ownership and manages time well to meet deadlines
