Accounts Payable & Receivable Specialist

Location: Wixom, MI Company: Flagpoles Etc Type: Full-Time, On-Site

Flagpoles Etc has proudly served customers across America since 1991. We are seeking a detail-oriented Accounts Payable & Receivable Specialist to join our team and support daily financial operations.

This position requires someone who understands accounting fundamentals, takes ownership of their work, and ensures accounts are accurate and fully reconciled. This role goes beyond simple data entry and requires strong attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and the ability to identify and correct discrepancies.

This is a small business environment. The right person is comfortable wearing multiple hats, stepping in where needed, and taking a hands-on approach to getting things done. If you are looking for a narrowly defined, task-only role, this is likely not the right fit.

To Apply:

To be considered for an interview, you must email your cover letter and resume to cheryl@flagpolesetc.com. (Applications without both will not be reviewed.)

Position Overview:

We are seeking an Accounts Payable & Receivable Specialist who knows their way around numbers and understands the importance of maintaining accurate, balanced financials. This person will manage daily transactions, handle vendor and customer accounts, and ensure everything reconciles down to the penny.

This role requires someone who takes ownership of AP/AR functions, works independently, and is comfortable identifying issues and improving processes—not just completing assigned tasks.

Strong Microsoft Excel and Microsoft 365 skills

Ability to reconcile accounts independently and accurately

Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy
