Accounts Payable Clerk Location: Vernon HQ
Schedule: Full-time, Monday–Friday | On-site

KEVIDKO is a fast-growing foodservice packaging and supplies distributor serving restaurants, cafés, hotels, and hospitality groups throughout Southern California via our distribution division and nationally via shop.kevidko.com.

We’re looking for a sharp, highly organized Accounts Payable Clerk who takes pride in getting things right. This is an important role in a growing company with significant purchasing volume and a large, active vendor base. You’ll help ensure our bills are accurate, vendor accounts are clean, credits are collected, and payments are made correctly and on time.

This is not a position for someone who simply enters whatever is placed in front of them. We want someone who notices when a price looks wrong, investigates discrepancies, follows up until issues are resolved, and keeps accounts payable exceptionally organized.

What You’ll Do

• Enter and code vendor bills in QuickBooks Desktop
• Match invoices to purchase orders and receiving records
• Review pricing, quantities, freight, discounts, and payment terms for accuracy
• Investigate discrepancies with vendors and internal purchasing and receiving teams
• Reconcile vendor statements and identify missing invoices, unapplied payments, and unused credits
• Prepare vendor payments for approval
• Track credits, deductions, returns, and disputed charges through resolution
• Maintain clean, complete supporting documentation
• Respond promptly and professionally to vendor inquiries
• Help prevent duplicate payments, late fees, missed discounts, and accounting errors
• Assist with credit card reconciliation and other accounting projects as needed

You’ll Be Great Here If You

• Are extremely organized and naturally attentive to detail
• Catch mistakes that other people miss
• Follow issues through to completion without needing repeated reminders
• Enjoy reconciling accounts and making the numbers tie out
• Are comfortable asking questions when something doesn’t make sense
• Can manage a high volume of invoices without sacrificing accuracy
• Communicate clearly and professionally
• Work well in a fast-moving environment where the company is continuing to grow and improve

Qualifications

• At least 2 years of accounts payable, bookkeeping, or related accounting experience
• Experience processing a meaningful volume of vendor invoices
• QuickBooks Desktop experience strongly preferred
• Proficiency with Excel
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Experience in wholesale distribution, inventory, purchasing, foodservice, or a similar environment is a plus
• Bilingual English/Spanish is helpful but not required

Why Join KEVIDKO?

KEVIDKO is growing quickly, and this position offers more than routine data entry. You’ll be an integral part of our team connected to purchasing, inventory, vendor management, and the financial operations of a substantial vertically integrated distribution business.

We value people who are dependable, thoughtful, curious, and eager to improve. Strong performers will have the opportunity to take on greater responsibility as the company continues to expand.

What Success Looks Like

Within your first several months:

• Vendor bills are entered promptly and accurately
• Statements are reconciled consistently
• Discrepancies are identified before payments are issued
• Vendor credits are properly captured and applied
• Payment records and supporting documentation are easy to review
• Internal teams and vendors trust you to provide accurate answers and close the loop
