About the Role We're looking for an Accounting & Automation Specialist to join a US-based manufacturing company and help modernize accounting processes that have been run manually for years. This is not a pure data-entry seat. The role places equal weight on accounting substance and a genuine technology and automation mindset. You'll start with a clearly scoped focus: cash applications, matching incoming payments to invoices in Sage X3, an enterprise-tier ERP. You'll do the work hands-on, learn the system's reporting structure, document the process, and find faster, more automated ways to run it. As the function matures, your scope is expected to grow into invoicing and other administrative accounting improvements. You'll work closely with the accounting lead every day, and you'll be the company's first remote team member, so building trust, rapport, and clear communication with the existing team matters from day one. What You'll Do Cash Applications • Apply incoming payments against invoices and remittances accurately and consistently in Sage X3 • Learn Sage X3's reporting structure well enough to run and interpret key reports, such as AR aging, independently • Identify and help build a faster, more automated way of applying cash • Document the process step by step as you learn it, so the work never depends on one person's knowledge alone As the Function Grows • Take on invoicing improvements, including faster turnaround and automation, once cash applications are running smoothly • Support the introduction of additional payment options, such as click-to-pay, as invoicing and collections mature • Flag other manual, repetitive accounting tasks that could be automated or streamlined, even outside your assigned scope Collaboration & Communication • Align daily with the accounting lead on priorities, and surface questions or blockers early • Communicate proactively about what's working, what could be improved, and what you need, instead of waiting for the next task • Build real rapport with a friendly, collaborative, family-oriented team What We're Looking For Non-Negotiables • Solid accounting background, enough to understand and improve processes, not just execute them • Comfortable doing hands-on clerical and administrative accounting work personally, not only designing improvements for others • Experience with a complex, enterprise-tier ERP system (e.g., SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, or a high-end Sage product) • Genuine interest in and aptitude for automation and process improvement • Exceptional attention to detail and a high standard for accuracy • Strong written and verbal communication, comfortable raising ideas and questions proactively • Able to work at least 6 hours overlapping US Central Time business hours Preferred Qualifications • Direct Sage X3 experience • Cash applications, AR, or invoicing experience • Degree or formal training in Accounting, Finance, or a related field (practical understanding matters more than credentials) • Experience using AI-assisted tools within a secure, company-approved environment • Track record of improving or automating an existing accounting workflow • Prior experience working remotely with US-based teams
