About The Position

Siftex Equipment Company is a South Windsor, CT-based manufacturer, specializing in custom and flexible connectors. We have a tight-knit, talented team, and we’re proud of the culture we’ve created and the people who make it happen. We are looking for a motivated, detail-driven Junior Bookkeeper to own our AR/AP function and grow with us into a well-rounded office professional. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone early in their accounting career who wants real responsibility, room to grow, and a workplace that genuinely invests in their people. At Siftex, we believe that great work deserves great rewards. The Junior Bookkeeper will take full ownership of our accounts payable and accounts receivable functions — this isn't a support role, it's a seat at the table. As you grow with us, you'll also take on purchasing responsibilities and broader office administration tasks, making this a true career-building position.

Requirements

Previous experience in accounting, AP, and/or AR — you've done this before and you're ready to own it

Ability to learn and adapt to new technical systems; experience using ERP systems preferred (IQMS-Delmia is what we use)
Exceptional organizational skills and a sharp eye for detail
Strong time management — you know how to prioritize, meet deadlines, and manage your day with minimal oversight
