Job Description

Accounts Payable & Receivable

Carlsbad, CA | Temporary Position | $23–$28/hour, depending on experience

At Means Engineering, we don’t just manufacture parts — we create high-impact solutions across multiple industries. As a vertically integrated contract manufacturer, everything happens under one roof: design, prototyping, machining, build, testing and delivery.

What you’ll get to do:

• Keep our accounts receivable records current by posting incoming cash and A/R transactions each morning.
• Process and code company credit card statements and ensure supporting receipts are collected and properly documented.
• Maintain accurate records and documentation, including retrieving shipping documents and completing daily filing.
• Manage petty cash and assist with routine accounting and administrative activities.
• Support accounts receivable collections by making account follow-up and cleanup calls, researching issues, and providing weekly updates to the Controller.
• Assist in preparing weekly A/P check runs and coordinate their distribution.
• Gather invoices and supporting documentation needed for accurate recordkeeping and accounting files.
• Help keep our office running smoothly by providing backup coverage for incoming calls and the front desk when requested.
• Coordinate breakfast and lunch arrangements for customer visits and other company meetings.
• Support HR with company events and activities that help make our workplace a great place to work.

What you’ll Bring:

• Experience in Accounts Receivable and Payable.
• Experience working with accounting software systems (Epicor preferred).
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel.
• Meet deadlines without comprising accuracy.
• Ability to communicate effectively with a service-oriented approach.
• Stay organized and follow through.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to maintain accurate financial records.
• Wants to grow their accounting skills and take on additional responsibility.

Because we're a small company, you'll have the opportunity to work across multiple areas of accounting rather than being limited to one narrow function. You'll work directly with customers, vendors, and internal team members and have the opportunity to see how accounting supports the entire business.

Depending on business needs and your performance, there may be an opportunity for the position to become a regular full-time role. While we cannot guarantee that outcome, we are interested in finding someone who could become a long-term member of our team.
