Accounts Payable Manager

We're hiring an experienced Accounts Payable (AP) Leader to oversee a highly tenured team and manage the financial processes that keep active construction projects moving. You will guide a dedicated AP team, partner closely with project and operational leaders, and play a key role in protecting cash flow, maintaining strong vendor relationships, and ensuring financial accuracy across the organization. Step into an established department with a talented team already in place, while helping identify process improvements that support the company's continued growth. What You'll Own Lead a team of experienced accounts payable professionals, ensuring smooth disbursement activity and consistent service to internal stakeholders and vendors. Strengthen and refine internal controls, invoice coding procedures, and contract compliance processes to safeguard company assets. Navigate vendor relationships, resolve complex account discrepancies, and oversee detailed statement reconciliations. Manage cash disbursement activity, Positive Pay exceptions, and account funding coordination to support accurate and timely payment cycles. Oversee quarterly tax filings and lien waiver collection processes, helping maintain compliance across active construction projects. Partner with Accounting and Finance leadership on process improvements, reconciliations, and special projects that enhance operational efficiency. What We'd Like Proven experience leading accounts payable teams, preferably within construction, contracting, or project-based environments. Strong understanding of cash controls, payment processes, vendor management, and AP best practices. Advanced Microsoft Excel skills and the ability to investigate and resolve accounting discrepancies. Experience with ERP and financial systems; exposure to Timberline/Sage and TimberScan is a plus. A collaborative leadership style with the ability to earn trust across accounting, operations, and project teams. Why This Role Not every Accounts Payable leadership role starts with a cleanup project. You'll inherit a knowledgeable, long-tenured team that understands the business, works well together, and takes ownership of its responsibilities. The foundation is already in place, giving you the opportunity to focus on leadership, process improvement, and supporting a growing operation rather than rebuilding a department from scratch. This is the type of environment where relationships matter, collaboration comes naturally, and people tend to stay. You'll partner closely with operational leaders, have visibility across the business, and play a meaningful role in supporting projects from the ground up. #J-18808-Ljbffr
