Job Description
We are looking for an experienced Sr. Accountant to support customer-facing accounting operations for a long-term contract opportunity in Saint Paul, Minnesota. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys balancing detailed transactional work with cross-functional problem solving in a hybrid environment. The position will focus on order review, cash application, trade spend activity, and account resolution while helping maintain accurate financial records across a diverse customer base.
Responsibilities:
- Review incoming sales orders for accuracy and process them through the appropriate accounting systems, including electronic submission and occasional manual entry when needed.
- Apply customer payments accurately and investigate exceptions to ensure receipts are posted to the correct accounts in a timely manner.
- Oversee trade spend activity by coordinating with account managers to confirm discount treatment and proper financial coding.
- Monitor unresolved deductions and items held in general ledger suspense accounts, then work with internal partners and brokers to clear outstanding balances.
- Support the use of the Vividly cash application platform, troubleshoot posting issues, and complete manual cash application when automation does not resolve customer transactions correctly.
- Help document procedures related to updated cash application workflows to improve consistency and support team adoption.
- Partner across departments to research discrepancies, resolve invoice questions, and communicate directly with customers when additional clarification is required.
- Review higher-aging receivable items, identify root causes, and coordinate with brokers or account managers to drive timely resolution, including reissuing invoices when appropriate.
- Provide assistance with month-end accounting activities as needed, including reconciliations and other close-related support.
