Responsibilities

  • Process a large volume of invoices accurately and on schedule while maintaining complete supporting documentation.

  • Reconcile batch totals and accounting records to locate discrepancies, correct errors, and maintain accurate financial data.
  • Prepare detailed billing or payment records, including itemized charges, amounts due, and transaction updates.
  • Post receipts and other cash-related entries from multiple sources to ensure financial records remain current and balanced.
  • Perform general bookkeeping support, including updating cost records and maintaining organized transaction files.

Requirements

  • 2-4 years of experience in accounts payable, billing, or a related accounting function.
  • Proven ability to manage high-volume invoice processing with strong accuracy and attention to detail.
  • Hands-on experience with AP software, with preference for Nexus, Bottomline, or Yardi.
  • Working knowledge of vendor management processes, including review of W-9 forms and compliance documentation.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and familiarity with Microsoft Word and PowerPoint.
  • Ability to work independently, prioritize deadlines, and manage time effectively in an on-site setting.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, along with solid math, reconciliation, and problem-solving abilities.
  • High school diploma or equivalent required; an associate degree in accounting or finance is preferred.

Benefits

  • Medical, vision, dental, and life and disability insurance.
  • Eligibility to enroll in the company 401(k) plan.

All applicants applying for U.S. job openings must be legally authorized to work in the United States.
