Job Summary
We are seeking a detail-oriented and motivated Accounts Payable Specialist to manage our full-cycle accounts payable processes within our manufacturing operations.

- Discrepancy Research & Resolution: Investigate, track, and resolve complex billing variances, price discrepancies, and quantity mismatches by researching transaction histories.
- Inventory & Audit Support: Physically participate in routine cycle counts and comprehensive physical inventory audits on the production floor.
- Payment Execution: Prepare and execute weekly payment runs via ACH, wire transfers, and checks.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with procurement, operations, and warehouse teams to optimize the receiving-to-payment cycle and manage supplier relations.
Qualifications & Skills
- Education: Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business preferred.
- Experience: 2+ years of dedicated accounts payable or general accounting experience.
- Core Accounting Skills: Strong foundational knowledge of general accounting principles, particularly debits/credits, GL account structures, and financial reconciliations.
- Analytical Skills: Proven ability to independently research ledger anomalies, audit vendor statements, and systematically resolve discrepancies.
- ERP Software: Proficiency with automated ERP systems (experience with SYSPRO is a major plus, but not required).
- Industry Context: Previous experience in a manufacturing, production, or distribution environment is preferred, but training will be provided.
- Technical Skills: Intermediate Microsoft Excel capabilities (data entry, VLOOKUPs, pivot tables).
- Physical Requirements: Ability to safely navigate a manufacturing facility, stand for extended periods, and lift up to 25 lbs during physical inventory counts.
