Accounts Payable Specialist

CONKLIN METAL INDUSTRIES

Founded 1874 | Family-Owned | Southeastern U.S.

Accounts Payable Clerk

Corporate Headquarters | Atlanta, GA (West Midtown) | Full-Time, On-Site

Who We Are

Conklin Metal Industries has been in the business of keeping contractors moving since 1874. We're a fourth-generation, family-owned distributor of sheet metal, HVAC, and duct fabrication supplies, with 17 branches across the southeastern U.S. and headquarters in Atlanta's West Midtown.

We're a company where people stay, grow, and know each other's names. Our accounting team is small, sharp, and takes real pride in keeping things running cleanly. If you're someone who likes to own their work and appreciates a stable, professional environment, you'll fit right in.

THE ROLE

We're looking for a detail-oriented AP Clerk who takes accuracy seriously, communicates clearly with vendors and teammates, and takes ownership of their workload. This is a fully on-site role at our West Midtown corporate office where you'll work closely with our accounting team in a business casual office environment.

This isn't a siloed, heads-down role. You'll collaborate across departments and with vendors regularly, so being personable and professional matters as much as being precise.

What You'll Do

• Process vendor inventory invoices by reconciling to purchase order receipts, resolving discrepancies, reviewing GL coding, and entering accurately into the ERP system
• Process vendor expense invoices including approval routing, GL coding, allocations, and ERP entry
• Handle employee expense reports and petty cash reimbursements
• Manage aged payables to identify and resolve outstanding PO receipts and open items before they become problems
• Ensure vendor credits are captured and entered in a timely manner
• Process check, ACH, and credit card payments with close attention to discount and due dates
• Reconcile vendor statements against internal records to ensure completeness and accuracy
• Complete vendor credit applications and maintain the vendor database in the ERP system
• Build and maintain solid working relationships with vendors and internal teams
• Jump in on special projects as needed
  
  

What We're Looking For

• 3 to 5 years of accounts payable experience, ideally including PO matching for inventory purchases
• Solid grasp of basic bookkeeping and AP principles -- you know why accuracy matters, not just what to do
• Proficiency with ERP systems and data entry (experience matters more than the specific platform)
• Comfort with Microsoft Office, especially Excel and Outlook
• Strong attention to detail -- the kind that catches things before they become issues
• An Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Accounting is a plus, but the right experience speaks for itself
• A collaborative, team-first attitude -- we're a small group and everyone's work matters to everyone else
  
  

WHY CONKLIN

• Stable, family-owned company with 152+ years of operating history -- not a startup, not a revolving door
• Professional, business casual office in Atlanta's West Midtown
• A team that values accuracy, ownership, and showing up for each other
• Your work actually matters here -- you're not a headcount, you're part of how the company runs
