Build Your Career. Not Just Your Next Job.
Are you an accountant who enjoys bringing order to chaos, takes pride in accuracy, and wants more than a repetitive Accounts Payable role?
A rapidly growing, multi-location organization in the greater Charleston, SC area is looking for an ambitious accounting professional to take ownership of Accounts Payable while building the skills needed to become a well-rounded Staff Accountant.
This isn't a position where you'll spend years processing invoices. The plan is for you to become the AP expert for our business during your first 9-12 months while gradually taking on additional accounting responsibilities, including account reconciliations, accounts receivable, general ledger work, month-end close activities, and special projects.
If you're looking for a company that believes in developing its people and promoting from within, we'd love to speak with you.
What You'll Do
Initially, your primary focus will be:
- Own the full Accounts Payable process
- Process vendor invoices accurately and efficiently
- Reconcile vendor statements and resolve discrepancies
- Prepare weekly payment runs
- Maintain vendor relationships and records
- Organize AP documentation for audits and compliance
- Assist with 1099 preparation
- Reconcile corporate credit card activity
- Support fixed asset tracking and vendor purchasing activities
As you grow in the role, you'll gain exposure to:
- Account reconciliations
- Accounts Receivable
- General Ledger accounting
- Month-end close
- Financial reporting support
- Special accounting projects
- Process improvements across the accounting department
What We're Looking For
- 1-3+ years of Accounts Payable or general accounting experience
- Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
- Solid Excel skills
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment
- Positive attitude and willingness to learn
- Someone who enjoys taking ownership and improving processes
- Associate's degree preferred; equivalent experience considered
Why You'll Love This Opportunity
- Outstanding opportunity for career growth
- Clear path into a broader Staff Accountant position
- Growing, financially stable organization
- Exposure to multiple areas of accounting
- Collaborative leadership team
- Excellent benefits package including:
- Medical, Dental & Vision
- 401(k)
- Paid Time Off
- Paid Holidays
- Life Insurance
Why This Role Stands Out
Many AP positions can become repetitive. This one is different.
Leadership is intentionally looking for someone who wants to grow. You'll begin by building a strong foundation in Accounts Payable, then steadily expand into broader accounting functions as you prove yourself. It's an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to accelerate their accounting career without waiting years for the next step.
