• Partner with Purchasing, Receiving, and Production to resolve discrepancies.
• Manage weekly payment runs, including checks, ACH transfers, and wire payments.
• Reconcile vendor statements and maintain organized accounts payable records.
• Assist with month-end close, accruals, and inventory-related invoices.
• Support a fast-paced manufacturing environment with accuracy and reliability.
• Perform monthly reconciliations for approximately 50 individual company credit card accounts, ensuring transactions are accurately recorded and discrepancies are resolved.
• Manage DMV compliance and registration requirements for approximately 100 company-owned and family-owned vehicles.
• Manage end-to-end international accounts payable processes, including deposit tracking, balance payments, and post-delivery reconciliations.

• Strong attention to detail and a passion for clean, accurate work.
• Experience with ERP and accounting systems.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines in a collaborative, hands-on environment.
• Strong communication skills and a positive, team-first attitude.
• Strong critical-thinking and analytical skills.
