Role: Accounts Payable OR Accounts Receivable Specialist

Location: Clarkston, GA

Rate: $28/hr - $35/hr

The Company

A high-growth electrical products business operating at roughly $600M in revenue, with demand accelerating faster than the internal accounting function has been able to scale. The team recently brought on new accounting leadership and transitioned to SAP — and is now adding two transactional accounting roles to stabilize day-to-day operations and build capacity for more complex work ahead. Both seats offer a real path to permanent placement and broader accounting responsibility over time.

Role 1: Accounts Payable Specialist

What This Role Is

A hands-on payables seat focused on keeping vendor activity current, accurate, and moving. This is not a senior role — we are looking for someone early in their accounting career who is reliable, detail-oriented, and ready to own a set of recurring responsibilities without needing significant oversight. The person who succeeds here will have the opportunity to grow into reconciliations, close, and broader accounting work as the team continues to build out.

Day-to-Day

• Code and enter vendor invoices, matching them against purchase orders and delivery documentation
• Keep the AP aging current and support the payment run process
• Onboard new vendors and maintain accurate vendor records including tax documentation
• Track down and resolve invoice discrepancies, vendor inquiries, and past-due items
• Reconcile corporate credit card activity monthly — chase down missing receipts, verify coding, and post to the GL
• Build out accruals and support the payables side of month-end close
• Assist with year-end vendor reporting and audit documentation requests
• Chip away at existing backlog and help improve how the team processes day-to-day volume

Role 2: Accounts Receivable Specialist

What This Role Is

A well-rounded AR seat that goes beyond collections. The company works with large, sophisticated customers who often have their own invoicing portals and procurement systems — so a big part of this role is making sure invoices get submitted correctly, confirmed, and tracked all the way through to payment. We need someone who can handle the full receivables cycle, not just one piece of it, and who is organized enough to help work through a meaningful backlog while keeping current activity on track.

Day-to-Day

• Build, post, and manage customer invoices and credit memos inside SAP S/4HANA
• Apply incoming payments and run down unapplied cash and short pay discrepancies
• Navigate customer procurement and e-invoicing portals to submit invoices, confirm acceptance, and track payment status
• Coordinate with project managers to get milestone invoices approved before they go to the customer
• Keep an eye on customer balances, work the aging, and follow up on past-due accounts
• Handle customer questions about open invoices, statements, and payment timelines
• Log communications and payment commitments; escalate accounts that need more senior attention
• Support the receivables side of month-end close and contribute to recurring AR reporting
• Maintain accurate customer records and tax documentation
• Work across internal teams — project management, sales, accounting — to resolve billing issues
• Help clear the existing AR backlog
