Job description

At Bart's Electric, we believe in building people as strongly as we build projects. Our team members grow through hands‑on experience, training, and leadership development in an environment that values safety, quality, and accountability.

As a merit‑based organization, we reward performance, initiative, and dedication with real opportunities for advancement. Whether you're in the field, the office, or leading teams, you'll have the support, tools, and training needed to build a meaningful career.

We invest in our people through ongoing training, clear career paths, and a safety‑first culture that protects our team and the work we're proud to deliver. At Bart's Electric, you're not just filling a role, you're joining a team that believes in building each other, every day.

About the Role

We're looking for an organized, detail‑oriented Accounts Payable Clerk to join our accounting team. You'll own the day‑to‑day flow of vendor invoices and payments, keeping our records accurate and our vendor relationships strong.

This is a great fit if you take pride in catching what others miss, you like closing the loop on things, and you want to grow your accounting skills at a company that promotes from within. Formal accounts payable experience is helpful but not required, we'll train the right person.

What You'll Do

• Process invoices. Review, validate, and process vendor invoices and credits, confirming coding, amounts, and approvals are correct.
• Match purchase orders. Match invoices against POs and receiving documents to verify accuracy before anything gets paid.
• Reconcile accounts. Reconcile daily work, the purchasing spreadsheet, and monthly vendor statements. Track down discrepancies and resolve billing issues.
• Handle expense reports. Process weekly employee expense reports and reimbursements in line with company guidelines.
• Execute payments. Schedule and process check and ACH payments while monitoring vendor terms and early‑payment discounts.
• Maintain records. Keep vendor databases and historical records organized and current, following data privacy and compliance standards.
• Support closings. Assist with month‑end and year‑end close and build accounts payable reports as needed.

What You Bring

• High school diploma or equivalent
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Excel
• Sharp attention to detail and a knack for spotting errors before they become problems
• Clear written and verbal communication for handling vendor questions and working with the team
• Strong prioritization and the ability to consistently hit deadlines
• Integrity and accountability in how you work with vendors, teammates, and your own numbers

Nice to have, not required: prior accounts payable or general accounting experience, construction industry background, or experience with accounting or ERP software.

What We Offer

Competitive pay plus a benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision coverage, a company-paid $25,000 life insurance policy, PTO, six paid holidays, and a 401(k) with a generous employer match.

We believe that the unique contributions of all Bart's Electric employees create our success. To ensure that our services and culture continue to incorporate everyone's perspectives and experiences, we never discriminate based on race, religion, national origin, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age or marital, veteran or disability status.
