We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys the details. You are organized, accurate, comfortable managing a high volume of transactions, and able to keep multiple deadlines and entities straight without letting things fall through the cracks.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced AP professional who enjoys working in a growing organization where accuracy, communication, and follow-through matter.

  • Communicate professionally and promptly with vendors regarding invoices, payments, and account questions

  • Respond to internal accounting and payment inquiries and help resolve issues efficiently

  • Assist with month-end close, including accounts payable reconciliations and accruals

  • Self-motivated with strong follow-through and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment

The client specifically requires at least three years of full-cycle AP experience along with high-volume processing experience, Excel and accounting/ERP proficiency, strong organization, accuracy, communication, and appropriate handling of confidential financial information.


The Ideal Candidate:

You are the person who notices when the numbers don't match—and you don't stop at noticing. You figure out why.

You enjoy creating order in a high-volume environment and take pride in knowing that invoices are coded correctly, vendors are paid on time, records are organized, and reconciliations are accurate.

You're comfortable juggling multiple entities, locations, vendors, approvals, and deadlines because you have systems that keep you organized.

You communicate well, too. When an invoice is missing, an approval is outstanding, or a vendor has a question, you follow through professionally and keep things moving rather than allowing an issue to sit unresolved.

Most importantly, you're dependable, accurate, organized, and accountable. You understand that great accounts payable work often happens quietly behind the scenes—but it has an enormous impact on the financial health and day-to-day operation of a growing company.

If you're an experienced AP professional who enjoys working with details, solving discrepancies, and keeping a busy organization financially organized, we'd love to hear from you.
