Accounting Associate - AP, AR & Cash Management
Thermach is a growing manufacturer of thermal spray equipment, precision components, and turnkey solutions used by customers across aerospace, energy, transportation, medical, and industrial manufacturing. For more than 25 years, we’ve combined engineering expertise, advanced manufacturing, and responsive customer service to solve real-world production challenges for customers around the world.
We’re looking for an Accounting Associate who enjoys being the person who keeps the numbers accurate, the cash moving, and the details under control.
This is a hands-on accounting position with broad responsibility across Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, cash applications, invoicing, bank reconciliations, and general accounting support. You’ll work closely with internal teams, customers, vendors, and management and will have the opportunity to take ownership of important day-to-day accounting processes.
If you’re someone who notices when something doesn’t reconcile, follows an issue through until it is resolved, and takes pride in getting the details right, this could be a strong fit.
Behm Consulting, LLC is partnering with Thermach to identify an experienced accounting professional who is ready to join a growing manufacturing organization and make an immediate contribution.
The Role
You’ll help maintain the financial accuracy and day-to-day flow of the business. Your responsibilities will include:
Accounts Receivable & Cash Applications
- Prepare and issue customer invoices accurately and on schedule.
- Apply customer payments and maintain accurate account balances.
- Monitor AR aging and follow up on past-due balances.
- Investigate and resolve billing, payment, and account discrepancies.
- Reconcile customer accounts and maintain supporting documentation.
- Assist with collection efforts while maintaining professional customer relationships.
- Maintain accurate customer and credit information.
Accounts Payable
- Review and process vendor invoices in a timely manner.
- Match invoices with purchase orders and receiving documentation when applicable.
- Prepare weekly check runs and process ACH payments and wire transfers.
- Maintain accurate vendor records and payment information.
- Research discrepancies and work with vendors and internal teams to resolve them.
- Monitor vendor accounts and help ensure payments are made accurately and on time.
- Assist with vendor inquiries, audits, and documentation requests.
Banking & Cash Management
- Complete monthly bank reconciliations for company accounts.
- Research and resolve differences between bank activity and accounting records.
- Record deposits, electronic payments, transfers, and other cash activity.
- Monitor daily cash activity and account balances.
- Assist with cash reporting, forecasting, and related analysis.
General Accounting
- Prepare journal entries and account reconciliations.
- Support monthly and year-end close processes.
- Maintain organized financial records and supporting documentation.
- Prepare accounting and operational reports for management.
- Assist with internal and external audit requests.
- Follow established accounting policies and internal controls.
- Identify opportunities to improve accounting processes and efficiency.
- Participate in special projects and other accounting initiatives as needed.
What You'll Bring
We’re looking for someone who can work independently, manage competing priorities, and take ownership of their work without needing constant direction.
Required:
- 3+ years of experience in Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, general accounting, or a combination of these areas.
- Experience with bank and/or account reconciliations.
- Experience working with accounting software or an ERP system.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Excel.
- Strong attention to detail and a high level of accuracy.
- Ability to investigate discrepancies and follow problems through to resolution.
- Strong organization and time-management skills.
- Ability to handle confidential financial information appropriately.
- Clear and professional written and verbal communication.
- Ability to work effectively both independently and with other departments.
Education:
- Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related field is preferred, but relevant hands-on experience will also be considered.
Experience That Will Set You Apart
- Experience with Epicor, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, or another ERP/accounting platform.
- Manufacturing or industrial accounting experience.
- Experience with cash applications and customer payment processing.
- Payroll experience.
- Familiarity with GAAP and standard accounting practices.
- Experience working in an environment with significant transaction volume.
- Experience identifying and improving accounting processes.
Why This Role Matters
This isn’t a position where you’ll be responsible for just one small piece of the accounting function.
You’ll have visibility across AP, AR, invoicing, cash applications, banking, reconciliations, and general accounting, giving you a broader understanding of how the company's financial operations work together.
The right person will become a trusted resource for accurate financial information and reliable execution. You’ll have the opportunity to identify problems, improve processes, and take ownership rather than simply checking boxes.
