Description We are looking for an Accounts Payable Specialist to join our team in Washington for a contract position with potential for a longer-term opportunity. This role is ideal for an early-career accounting team member who has some hands-on exposure to accounts payable and enjoys working in a high-volume, deadline-driven environment. The position offers the chance to build strong vendor and invoice processing experience while contributing to a collaborative team that values accuracy, accountability, and a positive attitude.

Responsibilities:

Process a large volume of vendor invoices by reviewing submissions, securing internal approvals, and entering transactions accurately into the accounts payable workflow system.

Assign correct general ledger coding to invoices and ensure all entries are completed within established timelines.

Investigate payment discrepancies and respond to vendor inquiries to resolve outstanding accounts payable matters efficiently.

Support ongoing vendor communication by maintaining effective relationships and providing timely follow-up on invoice and payment questions.

Perform spreadsheet-based reconciliations and use Excel functions such as formulas and lookups to validate data and identify variances.

Assist with payment activities, including ACH processing and check run support, while following internal controls and documentation standards.

Provide backup assistance for teammates during absences to help maintain continuity across daily accounts payable operations.

Adjust work priorities or hours when needed to meet key deadlines, especially during month-end close activities.

Work across systems such as Dynamics GP, PeopleSoft, Concur, and related tools to manage invoice and payment workflows effectively. Requirements - 1-2 years of accounts payable or related accounting experience, or recent accounting education with relevant practical exposure.

Experience handling invoice entry, account coding, and payment support in a fast-paced business environment.

Strong Excel skills, including the ability to work with formulas and lookup functions such as VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP.

Familiarity with accounts payable processes such as ACH transactions, check runs, reconciliations, and vendor issue resolution.

Comfort using financial or expense platforms such as Dynamics GP, PeopleSoft, Concur, or similar systems.

High attention to detail with a consistent focus on accuracy and follow-through.

Willingness to learn, accept feedback constructively, and take responsibility for resolving mistakes professionally.

Strong interpersonal skills and a team-oriented approach that supports a friendly and dependable workplace presence.
