Position Summary

The Accounts Payable Specialist is responsible for supporting the day-to-day processing of vendor invoices and payments.

•        Communicate with vendors and internal teams to resolve basic discrepancies, missing information, or invoice questions in a timely and professional manner.

•        Help maintain accurate and organized records, including invoice files, vendor contact information, and import documentation.

•        Support month-end close by assisting with invoice entry cutoffs, accruals, and basic reconciliations as directed by the AP Manager.

•        Assist with vendor onboarding, including collecting W-9s, banking information, and setting up new vendor accounts in the system.

•        Help track and organize import-related documents such as commercial invoices, packing lists, and freight invoices for the AP Manager’s review.

•        Respond to internal inquiries regarding invoice and payment status in a timely manner.

•        Participate in team meetings and training sessions to build knowledge and grow in the role.

•        Perform other administrative tasks and projects as assigned by the Accounts Payable Manager.

Qualifications

•        1–2 years of accounts payable or general accounting experience required.

•        Strong attention to detail and willingness to learn.

•        Ability to stay organized and manage time effectively in a deadline-driven environment.

•        Basic proficiency in Microsoft Excel (e.g., sorting, filtering, basic formulas).

•        Clear written and verbal communication skills.

•        High school diploma or equivalent required; associate’s or bachelor’s degree in accounting, business, or a related field is a plus but not required.

•        Interest in growing within the accounting or finance field is a plus.
