Robert Half

Job Description

Job Description

We are looking for an Accounts Payable Specialist to join a growing financial services organization in San Francisco, California on a Contract basis. This six-month opportunity offers the chance to support a busy accounts payable operation handling a high volume of transactions across multiple entities. The ideal candidate is comfortable working independently, learns quickly in a changing environment, and brings strong attention to detail to invoice processing and payment activities.

Responsibilities:
• Manage a large volume of accounts payable transactions from receipt through final processing, covering both purchase order and non-purchase order invoices.
• Review invoice details against supporting documentation, including complex multi-line purchase orders, to maintain accuracy and timely completion.
• Apply correct account coding and ensure invoices are routed and recorded properly within established procedures.
• Work closely with internal business partners to clarify purchase orders, invoices, and change requests so payments can move forward smoothly and compliantly.
• Support payment operations such as ACH activity and check runs while helping maintain accurate vendor and transaction records.
• Contribute to day-to-day accounts payable work across multiple entities, adapting quickly to shifting priorities and operational updates.
• Investigate discrepancies, resolve processing issues, and take ownership of follow-up actions with minimal supervision.
• Assist the team as new entities, process updates, and system enhancements are introduced within the accounts payable function.

• At least 5 years of experience in accounts payable within a high-volume processing environment.

• Hands-on experience handling both PO and non-PO invoices, including invoice matching and account coding.

• Background working in a global multi-entity organization with strong attention to detail and accuracy.

• Ability to manage competing deadlines, organize workload effectively, and work independently in a fast-paced setting.

• Proven problem-solving skills with the judgment to ask questions, address issues, and adapt to evolving processes.

• Experience with ACH transactions and check run support.

• NetSuite experience is strongly preferred; familiarity with Zip is preferred, and Brex experience is a plus.

• Comfort working in a growth-oriented environment where processes and business needs may change regularly.
