Accounts Payable Accountant

Why This Opportunity

Build valuable full-cycle accounts payable and accounting experience within a professional, fast-paced organization. This long-term temporary opportunity offers hands-on responsibility, exposure to month-end accounting activities, and the chance to contribute within a collaborative finance team.

About the Company

Our client is an established, privately held organization that supports a broad network of programs and initiatives. The organization operates in a mission-focused, service-oriented environment and maintains a strong commitment to professionalism, accuracy, and operational excellence.

Employees work within a collaborative culture that values accountability, thoughtful communication, and high-quality work. This position is based in Northern Virginia and follows a fully onsite schedule.

About the Accounts Payable Accountant Role

The Accounts Payable Accountant will support high-volume, full-cycle accounts payable operations. This position will review invoices, manage approval workflows, process payments, and communicate with vendors and internal business partners.

The Accounts Payable Accountant will also assist with reconciliations, month-end close, audit requests, and basic general ledger activities. This role is well suited for an early-career accounting professional who can quickly learn established processes and take ownership of assigned responsibilities.

The position is a long-term temporary assignment created to provide additional support to an established accounting team.

Role Responsibilities

• Review, code, validate, and process vendor invoices

• Confirm invoices have appropriate approvals and supporting documentation

• Prepare and process electronic, check, and other vendor payments

• Research invoice discrepancies and resolve payment-related questions

• Communicate with vendors and internal stakeholders regarding coding and approvals

• Maintain vendor records and support onboarding documentation

• Reconcile accounts payable activity and investigate outstanding differences

• Assist with month-end close, audit requests, and process improvement projects

Qualifications

• At least two years of full-cycle accounts payable experience

• Experience working in a high-volume invoice-processing environment

• Understanding of invoice coding, approval structures, payment processing, and vendor maintenance

• Experience with an ERP or expense-management system; Sage Intacct or Concur experience is helpful

• Strong Microsoft Excel skills beyond basic data entry

• Familiarity with journal entries, reconciliations, or other general accounting activities is a plus

• Strong attention to detail, organization, and follow-through

• Professional communication skills and a customer-service mindset

Why This Role Stands Out

• Long-term assignment with an established organization

• Hands-on ownership of full-cycle accounts payable processes

• Exposure to reconciliations, close activities, and general accounting

• Opportunity to strengthen ERP and expense-management system experience

• Collaborative environment with regular internal stakeholder interaction

• Streamlined virtual interview process
