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
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.
What You Bring
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 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.
You'll Thrive in This Role If You
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.
