ABOUT AMERICAN BATH GROUP
American Bath Group is a leading manufacturer of bath and shower products in North America. Through its portfolio of trusted brands and operating businesses, ABG serves residential and commercial customers with products designed around quality, performance, and dependable service.
Arizona Shower Door is part of the American Bath Group family and supports customers through a manufacturing and distribution operation serving multiple locations and supplier relationships.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Arizona Shower Door is seeking a dependable Accounts Payable Specialist to take ownership of its day-to-day accounts payable workflow. This role connects purchase orders, receiving records, vendor invoices, and account statements into an accurate and controlled payment process.
You will work closely with internal branch locations, receiving and operational teams, accounting leadership, and domestic and international vendors. This is an opportunity to become the trusted owner of an important accounting function, improve process consistency, and help ensure vendors are paid accurately and on time.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
· Process vendor invoices accurately and within required timelines.
· Perform three-way matching across purchase orders, receiving documentation, and vendor invoices.
· Confirm that materials or services were properly received before invoices are approved for payment.
· Research and resolve price, quantity, purchase-order, invoice, and receiving discrepancies.
· Reconcile vendor statements and identify missing invoices, unapplied credits, duplicate charges, payment differences, and unmatched transactions.
· Communicate with vendors regarding invoice status, discrepancies, documentation, and payment questions.
· Coordinate with seven internal locations to resolve receiving and invoice issues.
· Process invoices related to raw materials, inventory, work in process, construction in progress, freight, subcontractors, fleet expenses, utilities, rent, supplies, and other operating costs.
· Maintain organized records and track unresolved items through completion.
· Support timely and accurate vendor payments.
· Assist with selected general-ledger activity or balance-sheet reconciliations as experience and business needs allow.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
In the first 30 days, you will learn Arizona Shower Door's purchasing, receiving, invoice, approval, and vendor processes. You will begin working in Sage X3 and demonstrate an understanding of three-way matching.
Within approximately 60 days, you should be able to process most routine invoices with limited assistance, reconcile vendor statements, research common discrepancies, and communicate consistently with vendors and internal teams.
By approximately 90 days, you should be able to independently manage the normal AP workload, keep invoices and open issues current, and resolve routine discrepancies without frequent escalation.
· Maintain accurate and timely invoice processing.
· Minimize duplicate payments, missed invoices, unmatched receipts, and unresolved statement items.
· Build strong working relationships with internal locations and external vendors.
· Support an efficient month-end close.
· Become a dependable owner of the AP function.
· Potentially expand into additional accounting responsibilities based on performance and experience.
WORK ENVIRONMENT
This is a fully onsite accounting position within a manufacturing and distribution environment. The work is transactional, detailed, and deadline-sensitive, with frequent document review, repetitive invoice processing, regular follow-up, and communication across multiple departments and locations.
The successful person will balance accuracy with processing speed, independent work with cross-functional coordination, and consistent follow-up with professional vendor service. Training will be provided, but the selected employee must be comfortable progressing toward independent ownership within approximately 90 days.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Required Qualifications
· Approximately two or more years of accounts payable or closely related accounting experience.
· Experience matching purchase orders, receiving documentation, and vendor invoices.
· Experience reconciling vendor statements and researching discrepancies.
· Ability to read and interpret invoices, purchase orders, receiving records, credits, and account statements.
· Strong organization, attention to detail, and professional communication skills.
· Ability to follow issues through resolution rather than simply identifying or forwarding them.
· Ability to work fully onsite in Phoenix, Monday through Friday.
· Comfort performing repetitive, accuracy-sensitive transactional work.
Preferred Qualifications
· Two to five years of direct accounts payable experience.
· Experience in manufacturing, distribution, construction, building products, or another inventory-intensive environment.
· Experience processing raw-material, inventory, freight, fleet, subcontractor, or multi-location invoices.
· Sage or Sage X3 experience; Oracle, SAP, NetSuite, or another integrated ERP is also valuable.
· Experience supporting multiple internal locations or business units.
· Broader accounting experience, including reconciliations or general-ledger support.
WHY JOIN ABG
· Take ownership of a visible and important accounting function.
· Work directly with accounting leadership and operational partners.
· Support a manufacturing and distribution business with a broad range of invoice types.
· Build experience with multi-location operations and an integrated ERP environment.
· Develop broader accounting skills as capability and business needs grow.
· Join an established organization with a portfolio of recognized bath and shower brands.
