What are the responsibilities and job description for the Staff Accountant position at NOW CFO?
Position: Staff Accountant
Location: Remote (U.S.-based; Central time zone only)
Schedule: Full-time
Compensation: $80,000 – $95,000
Job Summary:
This is a hands-on, high-volume accounting role for someone who wants to own accounts payable and receivable, not just process what lands in the inbox. Our client, a growing manufacturing company, is in the middle of a significant finance team rebuild — recent turnover has left gaps in day-to-day AP/AR, and leadership is moving quickly to bring in strong talent who can stabilize the function and set it up for the long term. This is an immediate need: the right person will step into a high-volume, somewhat messy environment and bring structure to it fast. If you're detail-oriented, comfortable with volume, unfazed by walking into a bit of chaos, and energized by cleaning up and tightening a process rather than just running it, this role is built for you. Acumatica ERP experience is required for this role.
Responsibilities
Accounts Payable & Receivable
- Process high-volume accounts payable invoices accurately and on schedule
- Prepare and issue accounts receivable invoices tied to shipment activity
- Reconcile AP and AR accounts on a recurring basis
- Track and reconcile multi-entity transactions, including activity invoiced by outside vendors as part of a multi-company structure
- Communicate directly with vendors to resolve payment discrepancies
General Accounting Support
- Perform light general ledger reconciliations
- Support inventory tracking and reconciliation
- Assist the broader accounting team with month-end close tasks as needed
Technology & Process
- Support the company's transition to a new ERP system
- Flag manual, error-prone steps in the AP/AR workflow and suggest improvements
Required Qualifications
- Acumatica experience is required
- 2 years of accounts payable/receivable experience in a high-volume environment
- Experience working across multiple entities or companies within a single accounting function
- Strong attention to detail, especially for reconciliations
- Ownership mentality — self-directed, accountable, and comfortable in a fast-moving, still-being-built environment
- Central or Mountain time zone availability
Preferred Qualifications
- Manufacturing industry background
- Comfort learning industry-specific accounting nuances (production, inventory, multi-entity flows)
- Prior experience in a company undergoing a finance team rebuild or ERP transition
