• You take ownership of your work and follow through consistently.

Who This Role Is Likely Not a Fit For

• You are not comfortable working with financial data or reconciliations.
• You struggle with attention to detail or managing multiple deadlines.
• You prefer highly repetitive work with little variation or problem-solving.

Preferred Qualifications

• 2+ years of accounting or accounting-heavy administrative experience.

What Success Looks Like in the First 90 Days

• You are independently handling A/R and A/P support tasks with accuracy.
• Reconciliations are completed consistently with minimal errors.
• Discrepancies are identified early and resolved quickly.
• You understand how production and inventory activity impacts financials.
• Accounting leadership trusts the accuracy and completeness of your work.
