Accountant (strong accounts receivable & ERP exp. req.) Description

Our client in the business services and distribution industry is looking for an Accountant to join their Team in New York City. This role is 100% onsite. Reporting to the Controller, you will be responsible for general accounting initiatives such as general ledger, accounts receivable, invoicing, and supporting month-end closing. Most of your time will be spent on A/R including collections. Working across two entities, you’ll use QuickBooks Online and Epicor to support accounting functions. Ultimately, they’re looking for a well-rounded accounting professional who would enjoy a close-knit team atmosphere. Someone who prides themselves on their approachability and their willingness to offer support no matter the task. They are a smaller family-owned company.
