What are the responsibilities and job description for the AP/AR Clerk & Customer Service Representative position at Carolina Food Service of Loris?
About the role
We're a family-run food distribution company looking for a dependable, detail-oriented person to join our office team. This is a blended role: you'll be the friendly voice customers reach when they call to place orders, and the careful hand behind our accounts payable and accounts receivable. If you like variety — some customer contact, some heads-down number work — and you take pride in getting the details right, this is a great fit. We'll train you on our systems; we're looking for accuracy, reliability, and a good attitude more than a specific background.
What you'll do
Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:
- Answer incoming customer calls, key orders accurately, and provide product and pricing information
- Handle accounts receivable — invoicing customers, applying payments, and keeping accounts current
- Handle accounts payable — processing vendor invoices and preparing payments for management review and release
- Respond to customer and vendor questions and follow through until they're resolved
- Support management by preparing worksheets for review
- Keep records organized and provide general accounting and office support as needed
