Accounts Payable Specialist

Creative Financial Staffing

Accounts Payable Specialist

Join a well-established Central Valley company where the accounting team plays an important role in keeping operations running smoothly. Our client is looking for an Accounts Payable Specialist who brings strong attention to detail, enjoys working with vendors, and can confidently manage a high volume of invoices in a deadline-driven environment.

The Opportunity

As an Accounts Payable Specialist, you'll take ownership of day-to-day AP activities while working closely with vendors, accounting, and internal departments. You'll help ensure invoices are processed accurately, payments are made on time, and discrepancies are resolved quickly.

What You'll Do
  • Process and code vendor invoices while ensuring proper approvals and supporting documentation
  • Perform two-way and three-way matching of invoices, purchase orders, and receiving documentation
  • Prepare payment runs, process vendor payments, and maintain accurate AP records
  • Reconcile vendor statements and research invoice, pricing, and payment discrepancies
  • Communicate with vendors and internal departments to resolve outstanding AP issues
What We're Looking For
  • 2+ years of accounts payable or related accounting experience
  • Strong understanding of invoice processing, reconciliations, and AP procedures
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and experience working within an ERP or accounting system
  • Detail-oriented and organized with strong communication and problem-solving skills
Why This Role Stands Out
  • Stable organization with long-term career opportunities
  • Opportunity to take ownership of the accounts payable process
  • Collaborative accounting team with exposure to multiple areas of the business
  • Great opportunity for an AP professional looking to continue developing their accounting career

If you're an Accounts Payable professional who takes pride in accuracy, enjoys solving discrepancies, and knows how to keep invoices and payments moving, this could be a great next step.

Timing is everything. Whether you're actively exploring or open to the right opportunity, we'd welcome the chance to connect. Many of our roles are not posted publicly—reach out to learn more.
