Our client is seeking an Accounts Payable Clerk to join their growing organization on a 6-week contract.

Vendor & Ledger Management: Code invoices to correct General Ledger (GL) accounts and cost centers (e.g., direct materials, overhead, freight, equipment maintenance) and set up new vendor profiles with accurate tax forms (W-9s/W-8BENs).
Payment Batch Execution: Prepare and process regular payment runs via ACH, checks, and wire transfers while taking advantage of early payment discounts (e.g., 2/10 net 30) to maximize working capital.
Inventory & Direct Materials Reconciliation: Work closely with the procurement and receiving teams to resolve invoice discrepancies, short shipments, or damaged goods through credit memos and debit adjustments.
Month-End & Reconciliations: Reconcile monthly vendor statements and sub-ledger balances against the GL, compiling AP aging reports and assisting accounting with month-end accruals for unbilled receipts.
Expense & Freight Auditing: Audit and process employee expense reports, as well as complex freight/shipping bills associated with supply chain logistics.
Compliance & Record-Keeping: Maintain structured, audit-ready AP files and assist with year-end tax reporting, including 1099 distribution.

1-3 years of Full Cycle Accounts Payable experience
Experience with ERP implementation is a plus.
