Accountant

About Us

Phillip Cable Manufacturing is a defense manufacturer based in Norcross, GA. Our team of approximately 60 people builds mission-critical cable assemblies and wiring harnesses in a facility that holds an active CAGE code and operates under strict defense quality standards. We have been in business since 2013, we have maintained an unbroken track record with our government customers, and we are now expanding into new markets and new capabilities.

What You Will Do

You will handle the day-to-day accounting work that keeps PCM’s financial records accurate and cash flow visible. Your morning starts with a daily controls loop — checking timecards, reviewing bank balances, and tracking government payment statuses. From there, you move into invoice processing, payment recording, vendor document matching, and coordination with purchasing and warehouse. You will work across QuickBooks, our ERP system, and Google Sheets every day.

You will report to company leadership and work across departments daily. Because PCM is a government contractor, accuracy and documentation discipline are not optional — every transaction needs proper support, every payment needs verification, and every job needs to close cleanly. As you learn the business and demonstrate reliability, your responsibilities will expand.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform daily controls every morning — verify employee timecards, check bank balances across multiple accounts, and review government payment statuses to catch issues early
• Process accounts payable — review and code vendor invoices, verify three-way match (PO, receipt, invoice), reconcile vendor statements, manage payment schedules, and prevent duplicate or incorrect payments
• Manage accounts receivable — monitor aging reports, apply customer payments and deposits correctly, follow up on overdue balances, and review credits and adjustments
• Post journal entries, maintain the general ledger, and keep all account records accurate and current
• Reconcile bank accounts, credit cards, and selected balance sheet accounts on a regular cycle
• Track government payments from scheduled to confirmed — verify bank deposits against government payment system records before recording as received
• Support month-end close — prepare assigned journal entries, accruals, and reconciliations on schedule
• Run weekly payables and check runs, and support the weekly cashflow forecast with updated bank balances and outstanding obligations
• Maintain fixed asset records and process depreciation entries
• Review payroll entries for accuracy and help reconcile payroll reports to the general ledger
• Ensure proper sales tax and use tax treatment on purchases and transactions
• Assist with inventory record keeping, cycle count support, and basic variance review in coordination with the warehouse team
• Close jobs at month-end — verify invoice totals match contract totals, rename and archive job folders, scan and file required documentation
• Maintain Certificate of Conformance (COC) records continuously as shipments occur
• Organize and maintain supporting documentation for all transactions to keep records audit-ready at all times
• Support outside CPA, tax preparers, and auditors with schedules and documentation as needed
• Assist with 1099 preparation and annual vendor reporting
• Coordinate daily with the Invoicing Specialist, Procurement team, and Warehouse to resolve financial discrepancies and ensure upstream inputs are clean

Who You Are

• 2+ years of hands-on accounting experience, including AP, AR, and general ledger work
• You understand journal entries, account reconciliations, bank reconciliations, and month-end close processes
• Experience with QuickBooks is strongly preferred; comfort with ERP systems and Google Sheets is important
• You are detail-oriented, organized, and disciplined about documentation — you do not let unresolved items roll forward
• You communicate clearly and can work across departments to track down answers and resolve discrepancies
• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field

Bonus Points

• Manufacturing or distribution environment experience
• Government contracting or defense industry exposure
• Familiarity with WAWF (Wide Area Workflow) or other government payment systems
• Experience with MISys, QuickBooks, or similar manufacturing ERP
• Exposure to inventory accounting or cost accounting concepts
