Compensation: $55 to $65 Yearly

We’re partnering with a growing, stable organization to add an Accounting Specialist to their team. This is a well-rounded role where you’ll get exposure to both Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and general accounting operations.

  • Maintain and update customer and vendor records
  • Assist with account reconciliations and support month-end close
  • Help manage billing cycles and customer accounts, including recurring or contract billing
  • Investigate and resolve billing discrepancies or payment issues
  • Collaborate with internal teams (operations, sales, leadership) to improve processes and communication
  • Support additional administrative or accounting projects as needed

Why Consider This Role

  • Stable, team-oriented environments with strong employee tenure
  • Opportunity to work across multiple areas of accounting, not just one function
  • Flexible leadership styles that value autonomy and collaboration
  • Opportunity to contribute to process improvements and operational efficiency
  • Competitive compensation + potential for bonus

Qualifications:

What We’re Looking For

  • 2+ years of experience in accounting, accounts payable, accounts receivable, or accounting support
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to manage high volumes of transactions
  • Comfortable working in Excel and accounting/ERP systems
  • A self-starter who can work independently and stay organized in a fast-paced environment
  • Strong communication skills and a team-first attitude
  • Willingness to learn, take on additional responsibilities, and adapt as the business evolves

Nice-to-Have (But Not Required)

  • Experience in manufacturing, construction, or service-based industries
  • Exposure to job costing, contract billing, or seasonal billing cycles
  • Experience assisting with month-end close or reporting
