- Compile accurate attendance summaries and hours-worked reports on schedule to support payroll preparation by management.

- Create routine domestic shipping paperwork such as packing slips, bills of lading, and carrier labels, while coordinating shipment details with warehouse and production teams.

- Monitor shipment status, maintain tracking information, resolve standard delivery issues, and elevate significant discrepancies or delays when needed.

- Prepare customer invoices from verified shipment information and approved pricing guidelines after training, referring nonstandard situations to management.

- Track inbound deliveries, follow up with vendors and carriers regarding late or incomplete shipments, and alert internal teams to shortages that may affect operations.

- Enter confirmed receipts and vendor bills into Quick Books, reconcile invoices against purchasing and receiving documents, and organize supporting records and routine reports.

- Assist with purchasing administration by drafting purchase orders from approved information, maintaining order records, and supporting follow-up on expected receipts.

- Provide additional office and administrative support as assigned, including assistance with shipping-related activities that may involve international documentation under management direction. Requirements - At least 1 year of relevant office, accounting, or administrative experience, with a high school diploma or equivalent.

- Strong attention to detail and accuracy with numbers, data entry, and recordkeeping in a deadline-driven environment.

- Effective communication, sound organizational skills, and the judgment to raise concerns rather than make unauthorized changes or commitments.
