Accounting Manager and Bookkeeper $80k-100k (NO REMOTE OPTION)

**Looking for More Than Just Another AP/AR Job?** Most accounting positions ask you to perform ***one small*** piece of the accounting process. This ***isn't*** one of them. At West Coast Imports, you'll work directly with ownership and gain hands\-on experience across nearly every major area of accounting within an established wholesale importing company. Rather than becoming one person on a large accounting team, you'll become an important part of the company's financial operation. You will be the only person in accounting besides ownership. If you're someone who enjoys solving problems, working with numbers, and continuously learning, this is an opportunity to build a well\-rounded accounting career—not just process invoices every day. **About Us** West Coast Imports is an established wholesale importer serving retailers and distributors throughout the United States. We manage thousands of inventory transactions, vendor purchases, customer payments, freight costs, and day\-to\-day financial activity that require organized, accurate accounting. We're large enough to provide meaningful accounting experience, but small enough that your work has a direct impact on the business. You'll work closely with ownership, receive meaningful responsibility, and have the opportunity to grow as your skills develop. **This Isn't a Traditional Accounting Department** You won't be joining a department with separate AP specialists, AR specialists, payroll teams, and accounting managers. You will be the accounting department alongside ownership. That means you'll gain experience across multiple accounting disciplines while developing a much broader understanding of business operations than most entry\-level accounting positions provide. If you're looking for a narrowly defined role where you perform the same task every day, this position probably isn't the right fit. If you're looking for responsibility, growth, and the opportunity to become a stronger accountant, keep reading. **What You'll Be Responsible For** Your responsibilities will include: * Accounts Payable * Accounts Receivable * General Ledger maintenance * Bank and account reconciliations * Inventory\-related accounting * Vendor invoice processing * Expense tracking * Month\-end closing support * Internal financial reporting * Maintaining accurate accounting records and documentation More importantly, you'll be expected to think—not simply process transactions. When numbers don't reconcile, we expect you to investigate. When something looks unusual, we expect you to ask questions. When you discover a problem, we expect you to help solve it. Accuracy is more important than speed. **What Success Looks Like** Successful employees in this position consistently demonstrate: * Accurate reconciliations * Organized financial records * Clean general ledger maintenance * Timely processing of payables and receivables * Strong attention to detail * Ownership of their work * Honest commu
