  • Prepare and post journal entries, accruals, and other accounting adjustments.
  • Perform account reconciliations, including prepaid expenses and other balance sheet accounts.
  • Assist with basic variance analysis and investigate unusual or unexpected account activity.
  • Support inventory and manufacturing-related accounting activities as needed.
  • Maintain accurate financial records and provide supporting documentation for audits and internal reporting.
  • Perform other accounting duties and special projects as assigned.

Qualifications

  • 2+ years of hands-on Accounts Payable or Staff Accountant experience.
  • Strong understanding of three-way matching, vendor reconciliations, and invoice processing.

  • Strong attention to detail and a high level of accuracy.
  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
  • Strong Microsoft Excel skills.
  • Experience with an ERP or accounting system required.
  • Manufacturing, inventory, furniture, consumer products, or distribution experience is a plus.
  • Ability to work independently while also collaborating effectively with a team.

Ideal Candidate

  • Highly detail-oriented with a strong commitment to accuracy.
  • Proactive and resourceful, with the ability to investigate issues and find solutions.
  • Service-oriented and responsive when working with vendors and internal teams.
  • A strong communicator who can ask thoughtful questions and clearly explain issues.
  • Professional and personable, with the ability to build positive working relationships.
