Job Description

Job Description

Accounts Payable Specialist (Contract)

Are you someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and takes pride in catching the details others miss? We are seeking an experienced Accounts Payable Specialist to join a collaborative AP team and support high-volume invoice processing across multiple entities.

Key Responsibilities

  • Review and validate a high volume of invoices in a shared workflow environment.
  • Audit invoice data for accuracy, including vendor names, account numbers, dates, quantities, totals, and other key details.
  • Match invoices to purchase orders and receiving documentation to ensure proper payment processing.
  • Verify invoices are coded to the correct chart of accounts and routed to appropriate approvers.
  • Support invoice processing across multiple business entities, including international transactions and foreign currency invoices.
  • Investigate payment delays, resolve discrepancies, and follow up with internal teams to ensure timely payment.
  • Escalate issues when necessary and help drive invoice resolution.
  • Maintain accuracy while managing competing priorities and tight deadlines.

Qualifications

  • Previous Accounts Payable experience required.
  • Experience working with purchase orders and invoice matching strongly preferred.
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to identify discrepancies quickly.
  • Comfortable working in a high-volume, deadline-driven environment.
  • Self-motivated and proactive with the ability to work independently after training.
  • Strong problem-solving and follow-up skills.
  • Experience with ERP systems is preferred; SAP experience is a plus but not required.
  • Proficient with Microsoft Office and data entry tasks.

What We're Looking For

  • An engaged professional who can hit the ground running each day.
  • Someone who takes ownership of their work and does not require constant direction.
  • A team player who enjoys collaborating while maintaining a high level of individual accountability.
  • A detail-oriented individual who excels in a fast-paced accounting environment.

Contract Position | Onsite

If you have a strong AP background and enjoy solving problems while ensuring accuracy in financial processes, we'd love to hear from you.
