Job Description
We are looking for a detail-oriented Accounting Clerk to support invoice verification and reconciliation activities in Baytown, Texas. This position is well suited for someone who stays composed under pressure, works effectively with high transaction volume, and takes initiative when resolving discrepancies. The role focuses on reviewing haul-related documentation, confirming billing accuracy, and helping ensure timely payment readiness through precise data validation and cross-functional communication.
Responsibilities:
- Review vendor invoices and related haul documentation to confirm charges align with approved loads, contract terms, and pricing schedules.
- Enter and validate transaction data in internal systems so records are complete, accurate, and ready for corporate payment processing.
- Investigate invoice discrepancies by checking quantities, weights, tonnage, delivery dates, mileage, job numbers, locations, and project coding.
- Research exceptions thoroughly and coordinate with internal teams and external contacts to resolve errors that could delay driver-related payments.
- Compare haul tickets against vendor billing to ensure only authorized and completed loads are included for processing.
- Use Excel to examine load activity, mileage patterns, and billing details in order to spot inconsistencies before invoices move forward.
- Maintain accuracy while working in a deadline-driven, high-volume environment with multiple issues requiring timely follow-up.
- Support ongoing use of current accounting platforms and adapt to future ERP system changes as needed within daily workflow.
