Accounts Payable Specialist

Join an established, growth-oriented industrial materials company with a strong reputation for quality, service, and operational excellence. This opportunity is ideal for an accounting professional who enjoys working in a collaborative finance department and taking ownership of day-to-day accounts payable activities.

This role has hybrid flexibility (remote on Mondays and Fridays) but you must be comfortable being 100% in-office for the first few months during training.

The role will start out on a temporary 6-month project basis and there may be potential for it to become long-term based on business needs at the end of the project.

What You'll Do

• Process vendor invoices, perform three-way matching, and ensure accurate general ledger coding.
• Coordinate vendor payments through ACH, EFT, wire transfers, and checks.
• Reconcile supplier statements and resolve invoice, pricing, tax, and shipment discrepancies.
• Support month-end close through AP aging reports, expense accruals, journal entries, and account reconciliations.
• Maintain vendor records and tax documentation, including W-9s, and assist with audit requests.
• Support weekly check runs and provide backup assistance to the broader accounting team.

What We're Looking For

• Associate degree in Accounting or Finance, or equivalent education and experience.
• Approximately 2–3 years of hands-on, full-cycle Accounts Payable experience.
• Proficiency with ERP systems and Microsoft Excel.
• Strong attention to detail, numerical accuracy, and organizational skills.
• Professional communication skills and the ability to build positive vendor relationships.
• Experience with Epicor is a plus; familiarity with i5, Report 2Web, Lotus Notes, or WAS is also beneficial.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Join an established company in the industrial materials sector.
• Work directly with the Accounting Manager and collaborate with an experienced finance team.
• Apply your accounting expertise across invoice processing, payment execution, reconciliations, and month-end support.
• Contribute to the accuracy and efficiency of essential accounting operations.
