- Match invoices to purchase orders and receipts to ensure accuracy
- Maintain and update customer and vendor records
- Assist with account reconciliations and support month-end close

- Collaborate with internal teams (operations, sales, leadership) to improve processes and communication
- Support additional administrative or accounting projects as needed
Why Consider This Role
- Stable, team-oriented environments with strong employee tenure
- Opportunity to work across multiple areas of accounting, not just one function
