What a Typical Day Looks Like

Your morning starts in the AP inbox. You match vendor invoices to purchase orders and receipts in the ERP, code them to the general ledger, and catch a duplicate invoice before it gets paid. You apply yesterday’s customer payments, prepare the cash receipts for deposit, and pull together the weekly payment run for the CFO’s approval. Midday, a supplier calls about a past-due invoice. You trace it to a missing receiver, get it cleared with Purchasing, and pay it in time to keep our early-payment discount.

In the afternoon you shift gears: a vendor spend analysis you built shows we are buying the same consumable from three suppliers, and you propose consolidating to one for better pricing and fewer invoices to process. You close the day by updating the cash forecast and prepping the KPI slides for the Managers’ Meeting. At Elliott, you don’t just process invoices. You keep cash moving, catch what others miss, and make a direct impact on the business every day.

Do You Have What It Takes?

• Education: BSc or BA in Accounting, Finance, or equivalent experience preferred.
• GAAP Knowledge: You understand Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and apply them in your work.
• Communicator: Excellent verbal and written communication, with strong interpersonal and customer service skills.
• Tech-Savvy: Proficient in Microsoft Office 365 or related software.
• Organized: Excellent time management and the ability to prioritize your work.
• Detail-Oriented: You track the details, solve problems, and get it right the first time.
• Trustworthy: You act with integrity, professionalism, and confidentiality.
• Locally Based: Within a sustainable commute of Dayton, OH.
