Job description

Numbers Matter. Details Matter. and Having the Right Person Behind Them Matters Too.

We’re Looking for an Experienced Accounts Payable Specialist to Join Our Finance Team!

This Is a Great Opportunity for Someone Who Enjoys Working with Numbers, Staying Organized, Solving Problems, and Making Sure All the Little Details Come Together Correctly. You’ll Play an Important Role in Keeping Our Day-to-day Accounts Payable Processes Moving — from Entering and Reviewing Invoices to Working with Vendors and Coworkers to Resolve Questions and Discrepancies.

If You’re Dependable, Detail-oriented, Comfortable Working in a Fast-paced Environment, and Enjoy Being Part of a Team That Relies on One Another, We’d Love to Meet You.

Why You’ll Love It Here

• You’ll Have an Important Role in Keeping the Business Moving.
  
  • Accurate and Timely Payments Matter. Your Work Helps Ensure Our Vendors Are Paid Correctly, Our Records Stay Accurate, and Our Finance Team Has the Information It Needs.
• It Is More than Just Data Entry.
  • You’ll Research Discrepancies, Reconcile Vendor Statements, Communicate with Different Departments, and Help Find Answers When Something Doesn’t Quite Add up.
• You'll Build Relationships.
  • You’ll Regularly Work with Vendors and Coworkers Throughout the Company, Making Strong Communication and Customer Service Just As Important As Your Accounting Skills.
• You’ll Be Part of a Team.
  • Our APTeam Works Together to Provide Coverage, Share the Workload, and Keep Things Running Smoothly During Busy Periods.

What You’ll Do

• Enter Invoices Accurately and Efficiently and Help Ensure Payments Are Processed on Time.
• Review Invoices for Accuracy, Documentation, and Required Approvals.
• Monitor Accounts Payable Aging and Help Resolve Outstanding or Overdue Items.
• Reconcile Vendor Statements and Research Differences or Discrepancies.
• Maintain Accurate Vendor Files and Documentation.
• Communicate with Vendors to Resolve Invoice and Payment Questions.
• Partner with Coworkers and Departments Throughout the Company to Gather Approvals or Missing Information.
• Monitor Shared Accounts Payable Inboxes and Make Sure Requests Are Handled Promptly.
• Provide Helpful, Professional Service to Both Internal and External Partners.
• Support Other Accounts Payable Specialists to Ensure Consistency and Team Coverage.
• Assist the Controller and Finance Team with Special Projects, Reporting, and Other Needs As They Arise.

What We’re Looking for

Ideally, You’ll Have:

• A High School Diploma or Ged.
• 3+ Years of Accounts Payable Experience.
• An Associate Degree in Accounting or a Related Field Is a plus, but Not Required.
• Strong Microsoft Excel Skills.
• Experience Working with Erp or Accounting Software.
• Excellent Attention to Detail and Accuracy.
• The Ability to Stay Organized and Manage Multiple Priorities in a Fast-paced Environment.
• Strong Written and Verbal Communication Skills.
• A Dependable, Self-motivated Approach to Your Work.
• A Willingness to Ask Questions, Collaborate, and Jump in When the Team Needs Help.

What Success Looks like

Invoices Are Entered Accurately. Vendors Receive Timely Answers. Discrepancies Are Researched Instead of Passed Along. Deadlines Are Met, Documentation Stays Organized, and Your Teammates Know They Can Count on You.

You Don’t Just Process What Lands in Front of You — You Pay Attention, Ask Questions When Something Doesn’t Look Right, and Take Pride in Getting Things Done Correctly.

What We Offer

We Believe Taking Care of Our Coworkers Matters. Our Benefits Include:

• Medical, Dental, Vision, and Fsa Options
• Company-paid Life Insurance, Ad&D, and Employee Assistance Program
• Company-paid Short-term and Long-term Disability
