Accounts Payable Accountant

Creative Financial Staffing is partnered with a nonprofit education group to identify an Accounts Payable Accountant to join their team.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Support an education-focused nonprofit where finance directly supports the mission.
• Gain exposure to accounting process improvements, including the transition from paper checks and ongoing use of positive-pay controls.
• Work with a group of people who get work done, but also like to laugh.
• Free daily lunch available as a perk!

Key Responsibilities of the Accounts Payable Accountant

• Maintain accurate invoice processing by verifying approvals, entering invoices, and posting transactions in the accounts payable system.
• Execute weekly check runs and prepare accurate positive-pay files for bank submission.
• Monitor vendor activity and support approximately 100 invoices per week, with volume varying throughout the year.
• Maintain petty cash and assist with related accounting processes as needed.
• Provide professional, compassionate support to internal staff and external vendors via email and phone communication.

Background Expected of the Accounts Payable Accountant

• Associate degree in accounting or experience equivalent (+2 years).
• 2+ years of experience in accounts payable, with responsibilities including invoice processing and check runs.
• Excel proficiency with sorting, formatting, formulas, and file uploads.

Salary Range

• $50,000 - 65,000
