Job description

Bookkeeper

Salary : $60,000 - $70,000

Why This Opportunity Stands Out :

  • Hands-on Bookkeeper position in a long-standing, family-owned organization with over 100 years of history
  • Opportunity to manage both Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable, with visibility across the entire business
  • Broad scope of responsibilities spanning accounting, office administration, and operations support
  • Stable organization with deep roots in food manufacturing and distribution
  • Collaborative environment where the Bookkeeper works directly with leadership, including the company President
  • Role offers a chance to modernize processes, streamline workflows, and make a tangible impact on operations
  • Strong work-life balance with supportive and approachable team culture

Key Responsibilities for the Bookkeeper :

  • Manage and administer daily Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable, including collections and deposits
  • Execute weekly A / P check runs, ensuring timely payments and application of discounts
  • Oversee inventory management, including quarterly calculations and counts
  • Assist in purchasing negotiations and execution of vendor contracts
  • Coordinate logistics for incoming inventory and maintain compliance with company permits and certificates
  • Provide administrative support, including office communications, vendor relations, and scheduling maintenance services
  • Liaise with IT and facility vendors; troubleshoot and coordinate with outsourced IT as needed
  • Support and motivate internal staff while directly assisting leadership on special projects
  • The Bookkeeper will play a central role in ensuring financial accuracy, operational efficiency, and smooth day-to-day administration
  • Qualifications for the Bookkeeper :

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field preferred (experience may substitute)
  • Proven experience in a Bookkeeper , AP / AR, or similar accounting role
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Proficiency in Excel and comfort with ERP / accounting systems
  • Detail-oriented and proactive problem-solver who thrives in both independent and team settings
  • Excellent communication skills for working with vendors, customers, and colleagues across all levels
  • A successful Bookkeeper will bring both accuracy and initiative, with a collaborative mindset and a hands-on approach
  • This is an excellent opportunity for a dedicated Bookkeeper to step into a visible, wide-ranging role in a stable organization that values initiative, reliability, and long-term contributions.
