Accounts Payable Specialist

Manufacturing Company | Full-Time | $50-60k

A growing and innovative manufacturing company is seeking a motivated Accounts Payable Specialist to join its accounting team. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment where finance directly supports operations, production, and vendor partnerships.
This is more than a traditional AP role—you’ll play a key part in ensuring the financial engine behind a busy manufacturing operation runs smoothly. The ideal candidate thrives on organization, accuracy, and collaboration with teams across purchasing, logistics, and finance.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Own the full-cycle accounts payable process from invoice receipt through payment
  • Process and code a high volume of invoices while ensuring accuracy and proper approvals
  • Perform 3-way matching of invoices, purchase orders, and receiving documentation
  • Coordinate closely with purchasing, operations, and supply chain teams to resolve discrepancies
  • Manage vendor relationships and respond to inquiries regarding payments and account status
  • Prepare and process check runs, ACH, and wire payments
  • Reconcile vendor statements and investigate variances
  • Assist with month-end close, including accruals and AP reporting
  • Identify opportunities to streamline processes and improve efficiency within the AP function

What They’re Looking For

  • 2+ years of Accounts Payable experience, ideally within manufacturing, distribution, or a product-based environment
  • Experience working with purchase orders and 3-way matching
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple priorities
  • Comfort working in ERP systems and Excel
  • A team-oriented mindset with strong communication skills

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Join a stable and growing manufacturing company
  • Work in a collaborative, team-oriented accounting department
  • Gain exposure to the operational side of finance
  • Opportunity to contribute ideas and improve processes as the company continues to grow
