This is a great opportunity for an accounting professional who enjoys being hands-on, solving problems, and working across multiple areas of the accounting function. The position will play an important role in managing the day-to-day Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable processes, while also supporting month-end close, reconciliations, internal controls, and process improvement.

If you’re someone who likes to understand the why behind the numbers, takes ownership of your work, and enjoys working with teams across an organization, this could be a great fit.

What You’ll Do

• Take ownership of the full-cycle Accounts Payable process, including invoice review, purchase order and receipt matching, and payment processing.
• Manage key Accounts Receivable activities, including customer invoicing, cash application, and monitoring outstanding balances.
• Support collections efforts by following up on past-due accounts and helping resolve billing discrepancies and customer invoice questions.
• Partner with Sales and Customer Service to research and resolve disputed invoices.
• Reconcile AR and AP sub-ledgers to the General Ledger and investigate discrepancies through resolution.
• Assist with the month-end close, including journal entries, accruals, and account reconciliations.
• Review AR/AP aging reports and provide meaningful updates and analysis to the Assistant Controller and Finance team.
• Maintain accurate customer and vendor master data in accordance with company policies and procedures.
• Support internal controls related to AR/AP, including SOX compliance, and assist with internal and external audit requests.
• Look for opportunities to streamline processes and improve efficiency throughout the order-to-cash and procure-to-pay cycles.
• Work closely with Sales, Procurement, Operations, and Finance teams across a global organization.
• Coordinate with an offshore accounting team as part of the overall AR/AP process.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field preferred.
• 2–4 years of experience in Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, or general accounting.
• Experience within a manufacturing or industrial environment is highly desirable.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.
• Someone who is comfortable working independently, takes ownership, and pays close attention to detail.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a focus on accuracy.
• Interest in identifying new technologies and tools that can improve accounting processes and efficiency.
• Experience with Oracle R/12 or another modern ERP system is preferred.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with colleagues across different regions and functions.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This role offers the chance to join a global manufacturing organization where you’ll have visibility across the accounting function and work with teams beyond traditional AP/AR. You’ll gain exposure to month-end close, internal controls, audit, process improvement, and cross-functional operations while working closely with Finance leadership.
