Job Title: Accounting Specialist — In-Person (Atlanta, GA)

Location: In-office, Atlanta, GA

Salary: TBD, with raises based on performance

Job Type: Full-time, long-term

About Us

ECG Freight is a US-based trucking company. We move freight across the country and we run a tight, numbers-driven operation. We are looking for a sharp, dependable accountant to take over from a teammate who is moving on. This is a long-term seat, not a short-term gig.

What You'll Own

• Daily and weekly accounting entries (revenue, fuel, maintenance, settlements)

• Driver payroll — calculating pay, deductions, advances, and reimbursements accurately and on time

• Reconciling bank, fuel card, and vendor statements

• Maintaining clean, organized records in QuickBooks and Google Sheets

• Pulling and calculating weekly numbers for the CEO scorecard (revenue per truck, cost per mile, margin)

• Light data analysis — spotting trends, flagging variances, and explaining what the numbers mean (not just reporting them)

Required Skills

• Strong accounting fundamentals (debits/credits, AR/AP, reconciliations)

• Payroll experience — must be confident calculating gross-to-net and handling deductions

• Excellent with numbers — fast, accurate, and never sloppy

• Advanced Google Sheets / Excel (formulas, pivot tables, basic data analysis)

• QuickBooks Online experience (preferred, not required)

• Must be local to Atlanta, GA or willing to work on-site daily

• Authorized to work in the US

Nice to Have

• Prior experience with US trucking, logistics, or freight company accounting

• Familiarity with TMS systems, fuel card portals (TCS, EFS), or factoring

Who You Are

• Detail-obsessed — a $1.00 mistake bothers you until you find it

• Independent — you don't need to be told twice

• Honest — you flag problems instead of hiding them

• Curious — you want to understand WHY a number is what it is, not just record it

How to Apply

• Send a short message telling me (a) your accounting background, (b) any payroll experience, (c) whether you've worked in trucking/logistics before

• Attach a resume

• In the first line of your message, write the word "FREIGHT" — this is how I know you actually read the post

• Include any sample reports, dashboards, or spreadsheets you've built (optional but a big plus)

Looking to hire fast. Serious applicants only.

Pay: $20.00 - $30.00 per hour
