Founded in 1993, Benefast is a family-owned construction fastening and industrial supply distributor serving customers across the Southeast from four branches:
Nashville, Dallas, Austin, and Atlanta. With more than three decades of growth behind us, we have the discipline of a much larger operation — and we’re investing in the people, processes, and technology to match where we’re headed.

We believe the best companies are built by people who feel genuinely taken care of. That’s why we pay 100% of medical, dental, and vision premiums for our employees AND their dependents, contribute meaningfully to retirement, and back our team with a clearly defined performance framework that rewards growth. We’re a place where people stay, and build careers.

We’re hiring an AP Staff Accountant to be the human‑in‑the‑loop on our AI‑assisted accounts payable function across multiple entities. This isn’t a traditional bill‑entry role — we’ve automated most of that work. Your value comes from reviewing what AI produces, catching what it gets wrong, and resolving exceptions quickly so our AP queue and inboxes stay clean every single day.

You’ll also own vendor statement reconciliation and corporate credit card processing and reconciliation — the work that still requires human judgment, vendor relationships, and clean documentation.

This is a focused AP role for someone who’s excited about modern AP. We want someone who takes pride in a clean queue, moves fast on exceptions, and is energized by being part of a function that’s actively modernizing.

• Review AI‑coded vendor invoices in Net Suite for accuracy — GL coding, tracking categories, PO matching, amounts
• Approve clean invoices quickly; investigate and fix exceptions with the same urgency
• Identify patterns in AI errors and flag them so we can improve the automation
• Use good judgment to know when AI got it right and when it needs human correction
• End every day with our AP invoices inbox at zero unread
• End every day with our AP support inbox at zero unread
• Triage incoming requests fast — answer what you can, escape what you can’t, never let things age
• Reconcile vendor statements monthly across all major vendors
• Identify and resolve discrepancies between vendor records and our AP records
• Follow up with vendors on missing credits, applied payments, and open items
• Maintain clean reconciliation documentation that holds up to audit

• Process and code all corporate credit card transactions across multiple entities
• Collect, organize, and attach receipts to transactions in Net Suite
• Reconcile credit card statements on an ongoing cadence — clean and current
• Follow up with cardholders on missing receipts and coding clarifications
• Maintain clean vendor records in Net Suite — setup, W‑9 collection, banking info, contact updates
• Support 1099 preparation and year‑end vendor reporting
• Build constructive working relationships with our vendor contacts

• Help us learn where AI works well and where it doesn’t — your feedback shapes our automation roadmap
• Identify workflow improvements and bring them forward
• Cross‑train with your AP teammates and provide backup coverage

• 2+ years of AP experience with hands‑on coding, vendor management, and discrepancy resolution
• Credit card transaction processing and reconciliation experience required
• Net Suite experience strongly preferred; ERP experience required
• Comfortable working with AI‑assisted tools — energized by reviewing automated work rather than threatened by it
• Strong attention to detail — you spot when something’s off even when it looks right at a glance
• Disciplined about daily inbox management; you genuinely care about clean queues
• Fast on exception handling — don’t let things age
• Comfortable communicating with vendors and cardholders professionally
• Genuinely interested in AP as a craft, not as a stepping…
