Accounts Payable/Receivable Analyst jobs in Middlesex, NJ

About Us: Established in the early 2000s, Fineline began as a family business with a bold ambition: to revolutionize the restaurant and food service industry with plastics that are both innovative and practical. Working with a team of designers, we rejected the overly utilitarian shapes that the plastics industry was dependent on. Instead, we sought to replicate high-end, elegant forms.  Every Fineline product is made with the same values we’ve maintained in our products from the start: innovation, quality craftsmanship, and functionality. Our goal, as it has always been, is to revolutionize the industry with dynamic new ideas that drive value and raise expectations, advancing growth and giving power to the customer. As we continue to expand, overtaking the high standards we set for ourselves, we haven’t forgotten our old fashioned family values: commitment to our customers, high-performance plastics at incredible value, and, as always, making design-driven products.
