Position Summary

We are seeking a highly organized Accounts Payable Specialist to support a fast‑paced, high‑volume AP function within a purchase‑order–driven environment. This role is ideal for a detail‑oriented professional with deep experience in 3‑way matching, vendor invoice processing, and month‑end AP close activities, including reconciliations to the general ledger.


The AP Specialist will be a key contributor to accurate financial reporting and timely period close, working closely with accounting, procurement, and operations teams.


Key Responsibilities

Accounts Payable Operations

  • Perform 3‑way matching (purchase order, receiving documentation, and invoice) to ensure pricing, quantities, and terms are correct
  • Review invoices for proper approvals, account coding, and compliance with internal policies
  • Investigate and resolve invoice discrepancies, including price variances, quantity issues, and missing or incomplete documentation
  • Manage vendor maintenance, including new vendor setup, W‑9 collection, and updates to vendor records
  • Respond to vendor inquiries regarding invoice status, payment timing, and discrepancies
  • Prepare and support weekly and biweekly payment runs (ACH, check, wire)

Month‑End Close & AP Accounting

  • Support the month‑end close process related to accounts payable with a strong focus on accuracy and timeliness
  • Prepare AP‑related journal entries, including accruals for uninvoiced receipts and expense cut‑off
  • Reconcile accounts payable subledger to the general ledger monthly; identify, research, and resolve reconciling items
  • Assist with AP aging reviews and ensure liabilities are stated accurately at period end
  • Support internal and external audit requests by preparing schedules, documentation, and reconciliations

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with purchasing and operations teams to resolve PO and receiving issues
  • Communicate clearly with internal stakeholders to ensure timely resolution of AP questions
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of AP processes, controls, and documentation

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of accounts payable experience, with direct exposure to high‑volume invoice processing
  • Proven experience in a purchase‑order and 3‑way‑matching AP environment
  • Strong understanding of AP’s role in month‑end close and GL reconciliation
  • Experience preparing accruals and supporting AP‑related journal entries
  • High level of accuracy, attention to detail, and organizational skills
  • Ability to manage deadlines and prioritize work independently
  • Proficiency with ERP/accounting systems and Microsoft Excel
  • Strong communication and problem‑solving skills
