Accounting Specialist

Accounting SpecialistFort Lauderdale, FlAbout UsAt The Pharmacy Hub, we collaborate with pharmaceutical brands, manufacturers, health brands, telemedicine providers, and healthcare companies to deliver essential products directly to patients. Our expertise allows us to seamlessly distribute pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and other healthcare products to consumers, ensuring greater accessibility and convenience.Position SummaryThe Accounting Specialist is a hands-on, business-facing accounting role that sits at the intersection of the general ledger and daily operations. This is not a siloed desk job: the person in this seat owns real transactional work — accounts payable end-to-end, purchase orders, vendor reconciliations — while also carrying meaningful general ledger, close, inventory, and margin responsibility.The role is deliberately weighted toward accounting. Roughly 60% of the time is spent on general ledger work, month-end close, reconciliations, inventory and margin analysis, and revenue recognition support; roughly 40% is spent owning the accounts payable cycle and supporting accounts receivable. That balance is expected to shift further toward analysis as AP workflows are automated in NetSuite.Because The Pharmacy Hub moves physical product, this role requires someone who understands how inventory, cost, and margin actually behave — not just how they are journalized. The Accounting Specialist will work directly with warehouse, procurement, and operations teams to make sure what happens on the floor is accurately reflected in the ledger, and will use NetSuite and Excel to turn that data into analysis leadership can act on.This position reports to the Senior Financial Controller and works closely with the Senior Accountant, Financial Analyst, Accounts Receivable Specialist, and the CFO.Core ResponsibilitiesAccounts Payable OwnershipOwn the full-cycle accounts payable process: review, code, and process vendor invoices and purchase orders in accordance with company policyCreate, maintain, and reconcile purchase orders in NetSuite, including three-way match against receipts and invoicesReconcile vendor statements, research discrepancies, and resolve them directly with vendorsPrepare and process weekly check runs, ACH, and wire transfers; ensure proper documentation and approvals prior to paymentMaintain accurate vendor master data, including banking details, terms, and W-9/1099 informationManage AP accruals and AP-related reconciliations at close; monitor aging and payment timing against cash planningRevenue, AR & Operational FinanceSupport revenue recognition in accordance with US GAAP, including review of customer arrangements, cutoff, and deferred revenue schedulesBack up and support the Accounts Receivable function: invoicing accuracy, cash application, aging review, and collections escalationReconcile revenue and AR subledgers to the general ledger; research and resolve billing and payment discrepanciesPartner with Operations, Procurement, and Sales to understand how transactions originate and ensure they are captured correctly in the systemSystems, Analytics & Process ImprovementUse NetSuite as the primary system of record; build and maintain saved searches, reports, and reconciliations that reduce manual workBuild and maintain Excel models and analyses (advanced formulas, pivot tables, large-data manipulation) that support close, inventory, and margin reviewIdentify manual, error-prone, or undocumented processes and convert them into documented, repeatable, automated proceduresContribute to strengthening internal controls across ordering, receiving, inventory, AP, and ARTranslate financial data into clear, plain-language insight for non-financial stakeholdersHow Success Is MeasuredAssigned close tasks and reconciliations completed accurately and on schedule, with clean supporting documentationAP processed on time and on terms, with a controlled aging and no recurring invoice or PO exceptionsInventory subledger reconciled to the general ledger, with variances identified, explained, and driven down over timeMeasurable reduction in manual effort through NetSuite automation and documented process improvementsQualificationsBachelor's degree in accounting or finance; CPA or CPA candidacy a plus, not required4–7 years of progressive accounting experience, including full-cycle general ledger, month-end close, and reconciliationsHands-on accounts payable experience including purchase orders, three-way match, and vendor reconciliationWorking knowledge of US GAAP, including revenue recognition principlesExperience in an inventory-intensive business — distribution, wholesale, pharmacy, manufacturing, e-commerce, or 3PL — with real exposure to inventory costing and gross marginHands-on NetSuite experience strongly preferred; equivalent ERP experience (SAP, Oracle, Acumatica, Sage Intacct) considered with demonstrated ability to ramp quicklyAdvanced Excel skills: pivot tables, lookups, large data sets, and reconciliation modelingDemonstrated comfort working cross-functionally with warehouse, procurement, and operations teams rather than only within financeStrong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to explain financial results in plain languageExcellent attention to detail, organization, and ownership of deadlines in a fast-paced environmentThe Background We're Looking ForWe care more about where you've operated than about credentials on paper. The strongest candidates for this role typically come from corporate accounting inside distribution, healthcare, pharmacy, wholesale, manufacturing, or another high-volume operating company — environments where inventory moves, margin matters, and accounting is tied to what happens on the floor.Deep public-accounting tax experience is not what this seat requires. Ten years of preparing returns will be less relevant here than four years of closing the books at a company that ships product. If you have spent your career in corporate accounting at an operating business and enjoy being close to the operation, you are exactly who we want to hear from.Core CompetenciesTechnical accounting judgment paired with practical operational understandingEnd-to-end ownership: follows an issue from the warehouse floor to the general ledgerInventory, cost, and margin literacySystems fluency and an automation-first mindsetAnalytical rigor and comfort with large data setsClear communication with financial and non-financial audiencesAccuracy and integrity under deadline pressureCuriosity about how the business actually makes moneyWork EnvironmentThis is a 100% on-site role based at The Pharmacy Hub's Davie, Florida office and warehouse.
