Accounts Payable Specialist
About the role
We’re looking for an experienced Accounts Payable Specialist to join our finance team. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working with numbers, staying organized, solving problems, and making sure all the little details come together correctly. You’ll play an important role in keeping our day-to-day accounts payable processes moving — from entering and reviewing invoices to working with vendors and coworkers to resolve questions and discrepancies.
Responsibilities
- Enter invoices accurately and efficiently and help ensure payments are processed on time.
- Review invoices for accuracy, documentation, and required approvals.
- Monitor accounts payable aging and help resolve outstanding or overdue items.
- Reconcile vendor statements and research differences or discrepancies.
- Maintain accurate vendor files and documentation.
- Communicate with vendors to resolve invoice and payment questions.
- Partner with coworkers and departments throughout the company to gather approvals or missing information.
- Monitor shared accounts payable inboxes and make sure requests are handled promptly.
- Provide helpful, professional service to both internal and external partners.
- Support other accounts payable specialists to ensure consistency and team coverage.
- Assist the Controller and finance team with special projects, reporting, and other needs as they arise.
Requirements
- A high school diploma or GED.
- 3+ years of accounts payable experience.
- An associate degree in accounting or a related field is a plus, but not required.
- Strong Microsoft Excel skills.
- Experience working with ERP or accounting software.
- Excellent attention to detail and accuracy.
- The ability to stay organized and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- A dependable, self-motivated approach to your work.
- A willingness to ask questions, collaborate, and jump in when the team needs help.
What success looks like
Invoices are entered accurately. Vendors receive timely answers. Discrepancies are researched instead of passed along. Deadlines are met, documentation stays organized, and your teammates know they can count on you. You don’t just process what lands in front of you — you pay attention, ask questions when something doesn’t look right, and take pride in getting things done correctly.
