Job description

A busy AP desk needs someone who can sit down Monday and keep the invoices moving.

A manufacturing company is hiring a temporary Accounts Payable Clerk to cover a leave of absence.

You’ll report to the Accounting Manager and work alongside a small, close-knit accounting team.

Your first 30 days will be about getting up to speed fast. There’s no overlap with the person you’re covering for, so you’ll need to pick up their process and keep it running. The hardest part of this job is volume. The invoices don’t slow down because someone new is in the seat.

But if you know your way around a three-way match and like a desk that keeps you busy, this one is worth a look.

What you'll own

• Processing a high volume of vendor invoices against purchase orders
• Three-way matching of POs, receiving documents and invoices, and resolving discrepancies
• Reviewing vendor statements and reconciling them to the AP ledger
• Following up with vendors and internal teams to keep payments on schedule

What you bring

• Hands‑on AP experience in a high‑volume environment
• Working knowledge of purchase orders
• Experience reviewing and reconciling vendor statements
• You can come in, learn a process quickly, and keep pace without much hand‑holding
• You’re friendly, easy to work with, and comfortable on a team that feels like family

Why this one is worth a look

• $24.00-$26.00 per hour
• A real shot at something longer. Every temp who has done well here has been offered a permanent role.
• A hands‑off manager who gives you room to do the job your way
• A friendly team with a family feel
• Monday-Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
• Immediate start: Monday, November 9
