Accounting Specialist

Robert Half

Job Description

Job Description

We’re partnering with a growing, stable organization to add an Accounting Specialist to their team. This is a well-rounded role where you’ll get exposure to both Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and general accounting operations.

If you enjoy being hands-on, working cross-functionally, and contributing to process improvement, this is a great fit!

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Process high-volume vendor invoices, including coding, approvals, and payment processing (check/ACH)
  • Manage accounts receivable, including invoicing, cash application, and collections follow-up
  • 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
  • Help manage billing cycles and customer accounts, including recurring or contract billing
  • Investigate and resolve billing discrepancies or payment issues
  • 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
  • Flexible leadership styles that value autonomy and collaboration
  • Opportunity to contribute to process improvements and operational efficiency
  • Competitive compensation + potential for bonus
