• Cash & Asset Management: Receive and record disbursements; manage all cash receipts (deposits of cash, checks, all ACH payments and wire transfers). Monitor cash flow and reserve levels to meet all operational requirements.
• MultiState Compliance: Coordinate with external partners and/or the CFO to ensure compliance with federal and state requirements across all operating regions (including tax and payroll nexus).
• Internal Controls: Maintain and enforce daily policies for budget administration, cash management, invoice approvals, and credit procedures to safeguard company assets.
• Staff Leadership: Monitor, evaluate, and mentor accounting and administrative staff (including direct AR Collection staff); foster a collaborative, efficient team environment.
• Vendor & Banking Relations: Maintain professional relationships with banking, insurance, and external accounting personnel to facilitate smooth financial operations.
Education & Experience
• Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business Administration is preferred, but equivalent handson experience will be considered.
• Experience: 13 years of progressive experience in accounting or bookkeeping with some supervisory skills. We welcome sharp recent graduates with strong internship experience or accomplished bookkeepers/senior clerks looking to step up into management.
• Industry Knowledge (A Plus): Prior experience in Coffee, Food & Beverage, or Wholesale Distribution is preferred but not required.
• Core Knowledge: Foundational understanding of basic economic and accounting principles, general ledger structures, spreadsheet management, and previous knowledge of the use of QuickBooks.
Key Skills & Competencies
• Personnel Management: Ability to motivate, develop, and direct AR Collections and administrative staff, identifying the best ways to keep the team efficient, and customer friendly.
• Organization & Prioritization: Comfortable managing multiple daily deadlines (weekly AP check runs, billing cycles, weekly inventory reconciliations) alongside monthly close procedures and process goals.
• Problem Solving: Identifying billing discrepancies or cash flow bottlenecks and proactively working with the Executive team to resolve them.
• Communication: Ability to communicate clearly and professionally with internal management, local warehouse/delivery staff, and external vendors/clients.
Tools & Technology
• Accounting & Finance: Proficiency in QuickBooks, Sage, or similar ERP systems.
• Data & Analytics: Solid proficiency in Microsoft Excel (ability to use formulas, sort data, and create basic spreadsheets).
• Office Suite: Professional proficiency in Microsoft Outlook, Word, and PowerPoint.
• Custom Systems: Willingness to learn and adapt to our custom CRM and operational software integrations.
• AI Tools: Working with AI tools to make all processes more efficient a plus.
Work Context
