Accounting Clerk

A stable, privately held manufacturing organization is seeking an Accounting Specialist to join its collaborative accounting team. This position is open due to the planned retirement of a long-tenured employee, creating an excellent opportunity for an accounting professional who is looking for long-term stability, strong leadership, and a positive team environment.

This role is heavily focused on full-cycle Accounts Payable within a high-volume environment and is ideal for someone who understands the entire AP process, not just invoice data entry. The company has invested significantly in automation and process improvements, allowing the accounting team to focus on problem-solving, accuracy, and operational excellence rather than manual processing.

• Process approximately 1,200-1,500 invoices per month in a high-volume environment.
• Review, code, and process vendor invoices in accordance with company policies and procedures.
• Match invoices to purchase orders and investigate discrepancies.
• Maintain vendor records, including W-9 documentation and 1099 reporting requirements.
• Prepare and process weekly payment runs, including checks, ACH, wire transfers, EFTs, and credit card transactions.
• Reconcile vendor accounts and resolve payment-related issues.
• Support ongoing process improvements and automation initiatives.

Accounts Receivable & Cash Application

• Process and apply customer payments from various payment methods.
• Assist with account reconciliations and customer account maintenance.
• Support cash application activities and AR-related processes.
• Investigate and resolve payment discrepancies as needed.

General Accounting Support

• Assist with month-end and year-end close activities.
• Prepare account reconciliations and maintain supporting documentation.
• Support internal and external audit requests.
• Maintain accurate financial records and uphold internal controls.
• Collaborate with accounting, operations, purchasing, and other departments to resolve accounting issues.

Qualifications:

Required

• 2+ years of full-cycle Accounts Payable experience.
• Experience processing high volumes of invoices in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong understanding of purchase order matching and AP workflows.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and ERP/accounting systems.
• Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and ability to manage competing priorities.
• Team-oriented mindset with a willingness to assist where needed.

Preferred

• Experience in a manufacturing or industrial environment.
• Experience with NetSuite or similar ERP systems.
• Familiarity with AP automation tools and OCR invoice processing technology.
• Cash application or Accounts Receivable experience.
• Knowledge of sales and use tax, 1099 reporting, and vendor management.
