Job description

AR Clerk

Location: Bakersfield, CA (Onsite)

Salary: $45,000 – $55,000 DOE

A well-established distribution and logistics company serving customers throughout California is expanding its accounting team in Bakersfield. With a reputation for reliability, operational excellence, and long-term client relationships, the organization continues to grow while maintaining a collaborative and team-oriented culture.

This position plays an important role in supporting the company's cash flow and customer relationships by ensuring timely and accurate billing, collections, and account maintenance. It's an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working with numbers, building internal partnerships, and contributing to a fast-paced accounting operation.

The Opportunity

This role exists to support a growing accounts receivable function as transaction volume continues to increase across multiple customer accounts. The AR Clerk will take ownership of day-to-day receivables activities, including invoicing, payment application, account reconciliation, and collections support.

You'll work closely with accounting leadership, customer service teams, and operational departments to ensure accuracy and efficiency throughout the billing process. This opportunity is ideal for someone who enjoys problem solving, maintaining organized records, and being a key contributor to the financial health of the business.

What You'll Do

• Process customer invoices and ensure billing accuracy in accordance with company procedures

• Apply incoming payments and maintain accurate customer account records

• Review accounts receivable aging reports and follow up on outstanding balances

• Reconcile customer accounts and investigate discrepancies to resolution

• Support month-end closing activities by preparing reports and maintaining documentation

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of accounts receivable, billing, or related accounting experience

• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and experience working within an ERP or accounting system

• Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines

• Experience within distribution, logistics, manufacturing, or a similar operational environment is preferred

Why This Role Stands Out

• Established and financially stable organization with a strong presence in the Central Valley

• Opportunity to gain exposure to multiple accounting functions and grow professionally

• Direct visibility to accounting leadership and involvement in process improvement initiatives

• Team-oriented culture that values collaboration, accountability, and continuous learning

If you're looking for an accounting position where your work directly impacts business operations, this role offers the chance to join a company that values accuracy, efficiency, and professional development. You'll be part of a supportive team environment where contributions are recognized and opportunities to expand your skill set are encouraged.

Whether you're an experienced AR professional or someone looking to continue building a successful accounting career, this position provides a strong foundation for long-term growth within a stable organization.

If you're looking for a role where you can make an impact while continuing to grow professionally, this could be the right next step.

Timing is everything. Whether you're actively exploring or open to the right opportunity, we'd welcome the chance to connect. Many of our roles are not posted publicly—reach out to learn more.
