About Us

At Focus Camera, we fuel creativity, support our partners, and deliver exceptional customer experience. Guided by our core values—teamwork, responsibility, excellence, adaptability, and results—we collaborate to build scalable solutions that drive growth.

Founded in 1966 as a family-owned business, Focus Camera has grown to 150+ employees across three locations: our Brooklyn headquarters and store, our 90,000 sq. ft. warehouse in North Brunswick, NJ, and our Lakewood, NJ retail store. We specialize in consumer electronics and pro audio, partnering with leading brands such as Sony, Nikon, Fujifilm, Yamaha, Fender, and Ninja.

Role Overview

We are seeking a highly analytical Accounts Receivable & Audit Specialist whose primary responsibility is to lead and execute comprehensive auditing of third-party settlements, internal financial systems, and receivable activity.

This role is audit-first and control-focused. The Specialist will ensure all collections from internal and third-party selling platforms (e.g., Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, etc.) are fully reconciled, accurately recorded, and supported by proper documentation. You will serve as a key financial control point—identifying discrepancies, mitigating risk, and strengthening internal processes.

While accounts receivable management is part of the role, the core function is auditing, validation, and financial accuracy across systems and platforms.

This is a full-time, on-site position based in our Brooklyn office.

• Audit shipping service platforms and related systems to confirm transactions and expenses are properly captured
• Identify, investigate, and resolve discrepancies in collections, deductions, or reporting
• Monitor data integrations, system mappings, and reporting consolidations to ensure financial integrity
• Maintain strict documentation standards to support internal controls and external review
• Assist in preparing documentation for tax audits, notices, and regulatory disclosures
• Maintain and update TaxJar records, including customer exemptions, resale certificates, and renewal tracking

2. Accounts Receivable Oversight (Supporting Function)

• Reconcile incoming cash and maintain organized, accurate receivable records
• Monitor AR aging reports and delinquency metrics; proactively identify risk areas
• Collect outstanding balances, including research and follow-up on lost or disputed payments
• Partner with the B2B sales team to resolve overdue accounts while maintaining strong client relationships

3. Controls, Reporting & Process Improvement

• Communicate audit findings and risk areas to management with clear recommendations
• Develop and update internal SOPs to strengthen financial controls
• Identify process gaps and implement improvements to increase accuracy and efficiency
• Support system enhancements and automation initiatives
• Collaborate with Purchasing, Finance, and Operations to ensure accurate, timely transaction flow
• Maintain thorough audit trails and organized documentation

Qualifications

• 2–4 years of experience in accounts receivable, financial auditing, or settlement reconciliation (e-commerce or multi-channel environment preferred)
• Proficiency in QuickBooks and Microsoft Word, advanced Excel required
• Strong reconciliation and analytical skills with a demonstrated ability to detect discrepancies
• High attention to detail and commitment to financial accuracy
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Experience in high-volume, multi-vendor environments a plus
• Must be authorized to work in the United States

What We’re Looking For

We’re seeking a detail-driven accounting professional who thrives in a control-focused role and takes ownership of financial accuracy. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys identifying inconsistencies, strengthening processes, and serving as a key safeguard in financial operations.
