Job description

We are a growing international distribution company headquartered in Suwanee, GA, and we're looking for an Accounting Manager to lead a core part of our finance operation through an exciting period of growth — including an upcoming ERP system implementation. Employee tenure here is exceptionally high, and we invest in people for the long term.

This is a hybrid role (3 days in office) reporting into the senior finance leadership team. You will manage a team of 3 AP Coordinators while also owning general accounting responsibilities across month-end close, reconciliations, and financial reporting. This is not a transactional position — we need a process-oriented leader who can run a clean close, drive invoice resolution, build scalable workflows, and develop their team's decision-making capabilities.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Lead, mentor, and develop 3 AP Coordinators
• Train the team to make business decisions on invoice discrepancies — e.g., determining whether a difference should be written off, researched, or re-invoiced by the supplier
• Set performance expectations, conduct regular one-on-ones, and build a strong bench of decision-makers

General Accounting & Month-End Close

• Own assigned areas of the month-end close, including journal entries, accruals, and account reconciliations
• Support intercompany accounting and consolidations across the international entity structure
• Partner with the controller on variance analysis, management reporting, and ad-hoc financial analysis
• Support external audit requests and ensure documentation and controls are audit-ready

Accounts Payable & Invoice Management

• Own the daily and monthly reconciliation process for accrued invoices (inventory AP)
• Drive invoice resolution with operations teams and suppliers
• Oversee AP workflows, payment runs, and vendor account management
• Identify and implement process improvements across the AP function

ERP Implementation

• Play a key role in an upcoming ERP system implementation — contributing accounting and AP expertise, testing, and cross-functional coordination
• Help design future-state workflows that improve close efficiency and AP throughput

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with operations, procurement, and supply chain on invoice and inventory workflows
• Collaborate with the broader accounting and finance team on month-end close, accruals, and financial reporting

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Required

• 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including AP management and general accounting
• Strong general accounting knowledge: journal entries, accruals, balance sheet reconciliations, month-end close
• Experience managing and developing staff
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
• Strong process improvement mindset — you build systems, not just process transactions
• Comfortable working across operations, procurement, and supplier relationships

Preferred

• CPA or CPA candidate
• Inventory or distribution accounting experience
• Experience in an international distribution environment, including intercompany and multi-currency accounting
• Prior ERP implementation experience (NetSuite, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, or similar)

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

• Profit sharing plan
• 401(k) with non-elective employer match
• 15 days PTO
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision
• Hybrid schedule — 3 days in office, 2 days remote

WHY THIS OPPORTUNITY

This is a high-impact leadership role at a company that values its people — just look at the tenure. You'll have the chance to lead a team, shape how accounting and AP operate across an international distribution business, and leave a real mark on a growing organization through the upcoming ERP implementation.
