About the role
We are seeking a detail-oriented Bookkeeper with a focus on Accounts Payable to support the accounting operations of a high-volume ready-mix concrete business. This role manages the full AP cycle — from invoice receipt through payment — across a steady flow of material, fleet, and operational vendors.
Responsibilities
- Manage the full accounts payable cycle: receive, review, code, and enter vendor invoices with accuracy and timeliness
- Match invoices to purchase orders, delivery tickets, and receiving documents; investigate and resolve discrepancies with vendors and plant personnel
- Process high-volume material invoices (cement, aggregate, admixtures) along with fuel, fleet maintenance, parts, and operational expenses
- Prepare weekly check runs, ACH, and wire payments; manage payment schedules to capture discounts and maintain vendor relationships
- Reconcile vendor statements monthly and resolve open items, credits, and short-pays
- Maintain vendor master files, W-9s, and certificates of insurance
- Respond to vendor inquiries and serve as the primary point of contact for payment status
- Help drive the transition to a paperless AP process — including digital invoice capture, electronic approval workflows, and organized digital records — and identify opportunities to streamline and improve accounting procedures
Qualifications
- 1–3 years of accounts payable, bookkeeping, or related accounting experience; construction, building materials, or transportation industry exposure a plus
- Comfortable with high transaction volume and tight weekly deadlines
- Familiarity with accounting software (Sage, Foundation, Vista, or QuickBooks) and strong Excel skills; willingness to learn our systems quickly
- Experience with or enthusiasm for AP automation and document management tools strongly preferred
- High attention to detail and accuracy; strong organizational and follow-up skills
- Clear communicator who works well with vendors, drivers, plant personnel, and office staff
- Discretion in handling confidential financial information
Benefits
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- 401(k) with company match
- Paid time off and holidays
- A stable, long-tenured team within a well-established family-owned company
