As an Accounting Coordinator at JobGiraffe's client, a specialist in the Medical Equipment / Medical Device industry, you will play a crucial role in managing the Accounts Receivable processes while also providing support for Accounts Payable. This position is designed for individuals with a strong background in accounting and bookkeeping, particularly those who have experience in handling customer billing and payment processes. Your primary responsibilities will include reviewing customer billing information for accuracy, entering and processing customer payments, and applying these payments to customer accounts. You will also be responsible for monitoring customer account statuses and providing friendly reminders for past due payments. In addition to managing Accounts Receivable, you will also review supplier billings and expense reports, enter and process supplier payments, and reconcile transactions between accounts receivable and accounts payable. Your role will involve making journal and general ledger entries, assisting with month-end and year-end close processes, and troubleshooting any errors or discrepancies that arise. You will coordinate with a third-party accounting service for tax-related processes and run routine and special reports as needed. This position may also involve handling special projects and performing other duties as assigned, making it a dynamic role within the accounting team. The ideal candidate will have at least five years of experience in Accounts Receivable, along with experience in Accounts Payable and journal entries. Proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook is essential, and familiarity with any ERP system is required. While a high school diploma or equivalent is necessary, candidates with an Associate's or Bachelor's degree, as well as experience with SAGE 100 Software or Altec DocLink Paperless Office, will be given preference. This is a temporary position with a strong possibility of converting to a full-time role within approximately three months, offering partial benefits during the contract period and a comprehensive benefits package upon direct hire.
