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.

Requirements

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.
