Senior Accounts Payable Specialist

Fresno, CA | $30.00–$37.50 per hour, depending on experience

Are you the person people turn to when an invoice doesn’t match, a vendor needs an answer, or a payment run has to go out on time? Haystack Consultants is recruiting a Senior Accounts Payable Specialist for a Fresno employer that offers an excellent benefits package and a supportive, family-like work environment.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll own the accounts payable process from invoice receipt through payment. You’ll work closely with accounting, purchasing, and vendors, resolve issues independently, and have a voice in making the process work better.

What you’ll do

• Review, code, and process vendor invoices, confirm approvals, and match invoices to purchase orders and receiving records.

• Research pricing, quantity, and receiving discrepancies, and work with vendors and internal teams to resolve them.

• Prepare scheduled payment runs, including checks and electronic payments, and verify payment details and approvals before release.

• Set up and maintain vendor records, collect W-9s, verify banking changes, and assist with year-end 1099 reporting.

• Reconcile vendor statements, review AP aging, and follow up on outstanding invoices, credits, and payments.

• Review employee expense reports and reconcile company credit card transactions.

• Support month-end close by identifying expense accruals, reconciling the AP subledger to the general ledger, and preparing supporting schedules.

• Maintain organized records, assist with audit requests, and help improve AP workflows and controls.

What you’ll bring

• Several years of hands-on, full-cycle accounts payable experience.

• A solid understanding of general ledger coding, purchase order matching, reconciliations, and payment processing.

• Comfort working in Excel and an accounting or ERP system.

• The ability to manage competing deadlines, spot errors, and follow discrepancies through to resolution.

• Clear, professional communication and a service-minded approach to working with vendors and coworkers.

• Experience with high-volume AP or month-end close is a plus.

Compensation and benefits

• $30.00–$37.50 per hour, depending on experience

• Medical and dental coverage

• 401(k) with company match

• Paid vacation

• A supportive, family-like team that values collaboration and treats people with respect
