About the Role
We are looking for someone to join our team who is good with details and doesn’t mind a busy day. You’ll handle the AR side of our accounting department—posting payments, keeping accounts clean, and running down discrepancies. Over time, you’ll also cross-train in Accounts Payable so experience in either area works. This role does not include collections.
What You’ll Do
Accounts Receivable (Primary Focus)
- Process and post lockbox payments, credit card transactions, checks, and cash receipts to the correct customer accounts
- Identify and resolve payment discrepancies and misapplied funds in a timely manner
- Maintain accurate customer account records
- Serve as a reliable point of contact for AR-related questions
Accounts Payable (Cross-Training)
You’ll also cross-train in AP over time, learning vendor invoice processing, payment runs, and credit card reconciliation to support the broader accounting team.
General Accounting Support
- Assist with account reconciliations and month-end close procedures
- Support financial reporting and other accounting duties as assigned
What We’re Looking For
- 2–3 years of experience in accounts receivable, accounts payable, or general accounting
- Hands-on experience with lockbox payments, credit card processing, or invoice management is a plus
- Strong attention to detail—you catch errors before they become problems
- Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
- Good communicator who can work through discrepancies with vendors or customers professionally
- Organized, dependable, and able to prioritize competing tasks without dropping the ball
