Accounts Payable Specialist

Accounts Payable Specialist
Location: Bakersfield, CA (Onsite)
Salary: $18 – $22/hour DOE

Join a company where your work directly supports day-to-day operations and financial accuracy. Our client is a growing organization seeking an Accounts Payable Specialist to join a collaborative accounting team focused on efficiency, organization, and strong internal support. This is a role where your attention to detail and reliability will make an immediate impact.

This is more than a traditional AP role. You'll support vendor relationships, month-end processes, and financial operations while working closely with internal teams across the business.

The Opportunity

As an Accounts Payable Specialist, you'll manage daily accounts payable functions, support reconciliations, and help ensure vendors are paid accurately and on time. This role offers consistency, ownership, and the opportunity to grow within a stable environment.

What You'll Do

• Process invoices, expenses, and check requests in a timely manner

• Respond to vendor and internal inquiries regarding accounts payable activity

• Reconcile accounts payable and related accounts monthly

• Verify invoices against purchase orders and packing slips

• Support month-end and year-end close processes, including 1099 preparation

What We're Looking For

• Experience in accounts payable and general ledger functions

• ERP or manufacturing system experience preferred

• Strong organizational and communication skills

• Oracle experience is a plus

Why This Role Stands Out

• Stable team with consistent workflow

• Hands-on role with ownership of AP processes

• Opportunity to support multiple areas of accounting

• Collaborative environment with internal visibility

If you're looking for a role where you can stay organized, take ownership, and contribute to a strong accounting team, this is a strong next step.
