About Us
Founded in 1993, Benefast is a family-owned construction fastening and industrial supply distributor serving customers across the Southeast from four branches: Nashville, Dallas, Austin, and Atlanta. With more than three decades of growth behind us, we have the discipline of a much larger operation — and we're investing in the people, processes, and technology to match where we're headed.
We believe the best companies are built by people who feel genuinely taken care of. That's why we pay 100% of medical, dental, and vision premiums for our employees AND their dependents, contribute meaningfully to retirement, and back our team with a clearly defined performance framework that rewards growth. We're a place where people stay, and build careers.
The Role
We're hiring an AP Staff Accountant to be the human-in-the-loop on our AI-assisted accounts payable function across multiple entities. This isn't a traditional bill-entry role — we've automated most of that work. Your value comes from reviewing what AI produces, catching what it gets wrong, and resolving exceptions quickly so our AP queue and inboxes stay clean every single day.
You'll also own vendor statement reconciliation and corporate credit card processing and reconciliation — the work that still requires human judgment, vendor relationships, and clean documentation.
This is a focused AP role for someone who's excited about modern AP. We want someone who takes pride in a clean queue, moves fast on exceptions, and is energized by being part of a function that's actively modernizing.
