Accounts Payable Specialist (Temp-to-Hire)

Location: Hudson, OH (Hybrid)

Pay Rate: $24-$25/hour

Employment Type: Temp-to-Hire

We are seeking an experienced Accounts Payable Specialist to join a growing organization known for its collaborative culture and commitment to employee success. This is not a traditional high-volume invoice processing role. Instead, it offers a unique opportunity for an AP professional who enjoys research, problem-solving, and working with complex accounting transactions.

The ideal candidate will have strong Excel skills, experience with expense reporting, and the ability to independently investigate and resolve discrepancies across multiple entities.

Key Responsibilities

Accounts Payable & Expense Management

  • Process and audit employee expense reports for accuracy, compliance, and approvals

  • Research and resolve invoice discrepancies, reimbursement issues, and payment inquiries

  • Perform three-way matching of invoices, purchase orders, and supporting documentation

  • Review and verify invoices in a largely manual AP environment

  • Code invoices to appropriate general ledger accounts

  • Ensure accurate company and location coding across multiple legal entities

Excel & Reporting

  • Utilize Excel daily for data analysis, reconciliations, and reporting

  • Create and maintain spreadsheets, reports, and tracking tools

  • Build and troubleshoot pivot tables, formulas, and complex workbooks

  • Identify and resolve data inconsistencies and reporting issues

  • Support month-end and AP reporting activities

Systems & Process Support

  • Work within ERP and expense management systems

  • Support ongoing process improvements and system enhancements

  • Adapt to evolving technologies and accounting processes

Collaboration & Communication

  • Review and act on detailed instructions communicated through email and workflow systems

  • Communicate effectively with internal departments regarding invoice and expense issues

  • Partner closely with accounting and finance team members to ensure timely resolution of discrepancies

Qualifications

Required Experience

  • Previous Accounts Payable experience required

  • Experience processing and auditing employee expense reports strongly preferred

  • Experience working with multiple entities, locations, or business units is a plus

  • ERP system experience preferred

Technical Skills

  • Advanced Microsoft Excel skills required, including:

  • VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP

  • IF Statements

  • Pivot Tables

  • Data analysis and reconciliation

  • Strong understanding of AP processes and general ledger coding

  • Ability to work effectively in a partially manual accounting environment

If you are an Accounts Payable professional who enjoys digging into the details, solving problems, and leveraging Excel to drive accuracy and efficiency, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today!
