Accounting Specialist - Accounts Payable & Accounts Receivable Description

Our client is looking for an Accounting Specialist to join their team. Initially, you’ll spend most of your time supporting accounts payable, with roughly 75% of your time focused on AP and the balance supporting AR and customer payments. Whether your experience is primarily in AP, AR, or general bookkeeping, their Controller is happy to help you learn areas where you may have less experience and genuinely enjoys investing in candidates who are eager to learn. You’ll find success if you value collaboration, accuracy, and efficiency and aren’t afraid to ask questions. You’ll also benefit from a consistent, approachable leader who genuinely values his team’s ideas and input. It’s a place where people can settle in, do good work, and know that their contributions are valued.
