Accounts Payable & Receivable Clerk ​/ Supervisor

We are recruiting on behalf of a well-established, growing California-based food manufacturer and wholesale bakery. In operation for over 30 years, this company supplies a wide network of grocery retailers, club stores, food service accounts, and national brands across the United States. They recently expanded into a large production facility and are committed to continued growth.

This is a hands-on, individual contributor accounting role that forms an important part of the day-to-day operation. You will own the AP/AR cycle and provide accurate, timely accounting support to the business.
