This is more than a data-entry position. You will help keep invoices moving through an automated, paperless AP environment, resolve vendor and workflow issues, and identify opportunities to make our processes more efficient. We use Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Continia Document Management. Experience with these systems is helpful but not required—we will train someone who brings strong accounting fundamentals, attention to detail, and an aptitude for technology. Who We Are Honey Bucket, a division of Northwest Cascade, provides portable sanitation and site services to communities across the western and southern United States. We are an employee-owned company that gives under-credentialed overachievers the opportunity to build a career and earn more than just a paycheck. What You'll Do Process, review, and code vendor invoices using Continia Document Management and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Route invoices for approval and monitor workflow exceptions to keep payments accurate and on schedule. Configure and maintain OCR templates and document-processing rules. Prepare and process weekly check runs, verifying payment terms, approvals, and supporting documentation. Reconcile vendor statements and research discrepancies or outstanding items. Respond to vendor and internal inquiries promptly and professionally. Maintain accurate vendor and accounts payable records. Help identify opportunities to automate manual work and improve AP processes. Assist with testing system enhancements and new accounting technologies. Provide additional support to the Accounting team as needed. Requirements What We're Looking For Previous accounts payable experience required. Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and other Microsoft Office applications. Ability to learn new accounting software and business systems quickly. Experience with ERP systems or automated invoice-processing platforms is preferred; Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central or Continia experience is a plus. Strong attention to detail and the ability to balance accuracy with productivity. Ability to organize multiple priorities and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment. Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to troubleshoot routine workflow or system issues. Professional communication and customer-service skills. A collaborative, team-first attitude with the ability to work independently. Dependable attendance and follow-through. You'll Be Successful Here If You Enjoy learning new technology and are not intimidated by unfamiliar software. Ask, "Can this be automated?" before accepting an inefficient manual process. Take ownership of your work and ask questions when something is unclear. Remain accurate while working through a high volume of transactions. Communicate clearly and professionally with vendors and coworkers. Look for solutions, follow through, and help the entire team succeed. What We Offer Employer-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees, with discounted dependent coverage. Paid time off. 401(k) with company match. Annual performance bonus opportunity. Tuition reimbursement through our lifelong learning program. Training, development, and advancement opportunities. Weekly pay. A casual, professional office environment.
