A well-established manufacturing company is seeking an experienced Accounting Specialist to join its accounting team. This is an excellent opportunity for a well-rounded accounting professional who enjoys variety, takes ownership of their work, and wants to build a long-term career with an established organization.

Reporting to the Controller, the Accounting Specialist will support multiple areas of transactional accounting, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, billing, cash applications, and reconciliations. The position is part of a newly structured accounting function within a long-tenured team, offering the opportunity to contribute to efficient processes and collaborate closely with internal departments, customers, and vendors.

Key Responsibilities

  • Process vendor invoices, prepare check runs, and ensure timely payments.

  • Generate and distribute customer invoices accurately and on schedule.

  • Apply customer payments received through checks, ACH, and wire transfers.

  • Reconcile customer and vendor accounts, researching and resolving discrepancies.

  • Process authorized credits, refunds, and account adjustments.

  • Maintain accurate accounting records, vendor documentation, and payment information.

  • Coordinate with Purchasing, Receiving, and other departments to resolve invoice discrepancies.

  • Support customer credit reviews and other accounting projects as needed.

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of hands-on accounting experience preferred, with exposure to both AP and AR.

  • Strong understanding of full-cycle accounts payable, billing, cash applications, and reconciliations.

  • Experience with three-way matching, purchase orders, and vendor payments.

  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and ERP/accounting systems.

  • Detail-oriented, organized, and comfortable managing multiple accounting responsibilities independently.

Why Join?

  • Join an established Southern California manufacturing business with a long history in the industry.

  • Become part of a stable, experienced accounting team.

  • Enjoy a well-rounded position with exposure to both AP and AR rather than a narrowly focused accounting role.
