Accounts Payable Specialist
Posted: 09/05/2026
Job Number: Job-7746
Job Description
Are you the person who catches the discrepancy everyone else missed? Do you like owning a process from receipt to reconciliation? We're looking for a hands-on Accounts Payable Specialist to keep vendor payments accurate, invoices moving, and month-end close on time —in a manufacturing operation where your work directly supports the plant floor.
This is a role for someone who takes pride in clean books, works well across departments, and wants to be the go-to person for AP.
What You'll Do
This is a role for someone who takes pride in clean books, works well across departments, and wants to be the go-to person for AP.
What You'll Do
- Process vouchers against receipts for manufacturing materials using the three-way match, and run the weekly AP check cycle once cash requirements are approved.
- Partner closely with Purchasing to reconcile inventory and resolve any discrepancies between purchase orders, receipts, and invoices —including correcting standard costs in PLEX.
- Prepare adjusting and accrual AP workpapers to support month-end close.
- Build weekly cash requirements reports for leadership approval, flag any critical or past-due invoices, and follow up with vendors daily.
- Secure approvals and process non-manufacturing invoices (utilities, supplies, etc.) through the weekly check run.
- Reconcile the AP sub-ledger to the general ledger, monitor the PLEX received-not-vouchered report, and follow up on anything unbilled after 30 days.
- Handle day-to-day AP operations —mail, filing, ad hoc reporting, and processing checks to the bank lockbox.
- Support federal, state, and financial audits as needed.
- Take on special projects as they come up.
- 5+ years of hands-on accounts payable experience in a manufacturing environment.
- Working knowledge of standard costing systems and experience with inventory cycles, counts, and reconciliations.
- A solid grasp of basic accounting principles.
- Proficiency in Cost Accounting, General Ledger to Ledger, and Excel
- An associate's degree in business is a plus, but not required —we care more about what you've done than what's on paper.
- Communicate clearly and confidently with people at every level, verbally and in writing.
- Are organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable juggling deadlines with a sense of urgency.
- Enjoy solving problems and working as part of a team.
- Have solid math and analytical skills.
