Job Description

Accounting Specialist - Customer Accounts & Credit

Location: Tempe, AZ
Employment Type: Temporary-to-Hire | Full-Time
Pay: $26.00-$31.00/hour, depending on experience
Work Arrangement: 100% Onsite

This hands-on accounting position supports the financial activity associated with commercial customer accounts, combining general accounting, commercial credit, accounts receivable, sales tax, and month-end responsibilities.

The ideal candidate understands how commercial customer activity flows through the accounting process-from evaluating credit and maintaining account terms to billing, cash application, reconciliation, journal entries, and month-end close.

Key Responsibilities

  • Review new and existing commercial customer accounts to evaluate creditworthiness, credit limits, and payment terms
  • Maintain customer credit information and support account approval, hold, and release decisions
  • Prepare and process customer billing, invoices, credit memos, returns, and account adjustments
  • Apply customer payments and research unapplied cash, short payments, deductions, and discrepancies
  • Reconcile customer accounts and resolve differences between billing, payments, and accounting records
  • Prepare and post journal entries, accruals, and adjusting entries
  • Perform general ledger and balance sheet account reconciliations
  • Participate in month-end close, account analysis, and financial reporting
  • Prepare and support multi-state sales tax returns, reporting, and related documentation
  • Monitor commercial AR aging and follow up on past-due B2B accounts
  • Maintain accurate customer and accounting data within ERP systems
  • Support audit requests and provide account documentation as needed
  • Work cross-functionally to resolve billing, credit, tax, and customer account issues
  • Assist with additional accounting projects and reporting

What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years of experience involving commercial customer accounting, accounts receivable, credit, or general accounting
  • Experience with commercial credit review, credit applications, credit limits, and/or payment terms
  • Hands-on experience with journal entries, reconciliations, and month-end accounting
  • Understanding of general ledger accounting
  • Experience with billing, cash application, and B2B customer accounts
  • Strong Excel skills and experience using an ERP or accounting system
  • Ability to research account activity and independently resolve discrepancies
  • Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
  • Professional written and verbal communication skills

Additional Experience That Stands Out

Experience in any of the following areas is especially valuable:

  • Multi-state sales tax return preparation or reporting
  • Manufacturing, industrial, wholesale, or distribution accounting
  • Commercial credit analysis or customer risk evaluation
  • Credit holds, account releases, or establishing customer terms
  • Audit support and internal controls
  • High-volume or multi-entity accounting environments

About the Opportunity

This is a full-time, temporary-to-hire opportunity for someone interested in building a long-term career with an established organization. The position offers the opportunity to build on existing accounting experience while gaining broader exposure across commercial credit, customer accounting, general ledger activity, sales tax, reconciliations, and month-end close.
