Accounting Specialist / Accounts Receivable 

CTI has been a leading Audio Visual provider for 35 years. Since we began in 1988, our mission has been simple: to provide a fantastic customer experience.

At CTI, our biggest asset is our people, and we know that sometimes the most awesome employees don’t fit the typical mold. If you are hardworking, friendly, and know the importance of fantastic customer service, you could be a good fit at CTI. We have developed a collaborative and lively working environment, where the best and the brightest Audio Visual experts show up to work each day ready to have fun, and employ their passion for and knowledge of technology into everything they do. This creative atmosphere helps us apply and share our skills with our clients, who seek quality, high-end AV and Conference Solutions.

So, where do you fit in?

We are looking for an Accounting Specialist whose attitude, skills, and work ethic will embody our mission “to provide a fantastic customer experience.” We are not looking for a ‘typical accountant’—our accounting team knows that our customers are our #1 priority, and we want somebody who can recognize that and build relationships with them, and our vendors. We are also looking for someone who will collaborate with our operations team to take care of our customers. If this sounds like you, we will provide the necessary training, support, and work environment to help you succeed. We take pride in our employees, who are known in the industry as customer-focused problem-solvers who can get the job done.

These responsibilities will give you an idea, but not a full picture of what you will do as an accounting specialist, as we work to embrace and capitalize on our employees’ strengths:

- Invoicing: progressive billing, job deposit/completion billing, and product billing.
- Enter and maintain job costs, cost codes, and change orders.
- Record weekly revenue recognition based on the percentage of completion method.
- Perform month-end reconciliations.
- Prepare closing journal entries.
- Attend weekly production meetings with branch locations.
- Communicate with internal and external customers.
- Perform other duties, as needed.

We value our culture above all, and applicants who merely want to punch in their timecards every day are not what we are looking for. If you have the following traits, you might be what CTI is looking for:

- Must be a team-oriented contributor.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
- Excellent organizational skills.
- Ability to multitask, establish priorities, and work independently.
- Ability to work in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
- Willingness to take on multiple roles and responsibilities based on team needs.
- Capable of creative problem-solving skills.
- Understanding of GAAP and practices.

What’s in it for you?

At CTI, we know our company’s success is directly correlated to the success of our employees. So it’s fitting that we thrive on and encourage employee growth, both professionally and personally.

 

Our competitive compensation package includes:

-A competitive base salary (DOE)
-Employer-matched medical and dental insurance (available after 60 days of employment)
-Employer matched 401K up to 3% (after 6 months of employment)
-Bonus eligibility that is based off a results-oriented incentive plan (after 3 months of employment)
