Job Description

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

  • Join a long-standing distribution company with more than 70 years of stability and growth

  • Step into a hands-on accounting role with strong exposure across the department

  • Put your P21 / Prophet 21 experience to work in a high-volume, inventory-driven environment

  • Work alongside a tenured team with a strong track record of employee retention

  • Build broader accounting experience through exposure to AP, AR, and general accounting

  • Opportunity for long-term advancement into Senior Accountant or accounting leadership roles


Staff Accountant Key Responsibilities:

  • Handle day-to-day Accounts Payable activity in P21 / Prophet 21

  • Review and process vendor invoices, purchase orders, and receiving documentation

  • Perform three-way matching and investigate discrepancies involving pricing, inventory, or receipts

  • Maintain vendor files, payment documentation, and required tax forms

  • Reconcile vendor issues and help ensure timely, accurate payments

  • Assist with additional accounting responsibilities and cross-functional projects as needed


Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting required

  • Prior P21 / Prophet 21 experience strongly preferred

  • Background in distribution, inventory, or a similar high-volume environment

  • Strong Accounts Payable and three-way matching experience

  • Working knowledge of inventory-related accounting processes

  • Strong attention to detail, organization, and understanding of GAAP
