64792899631 -Accounts Payable Specialist

Accounts Payable Specialist

A US-based company is hiring a full-time remote Accounts Payable Specialist to own high-volume invoice processing, matching, and vendor support for its finance team.

About the role

You will handle the full day-to-day AP cycle: coding and entering vendor invoices, running 3-way matches, and resolving variances before they reach a payment run. The finance team works in an on-premise ERP accessed over remote desktop, so a fast, stable connection matters as much as accuracy. Success looks like clean, current vendor accounts, discrepancies caught early, and payment runs and month-end close delivered on time for controller review.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of dedicated Accounts Payable processing experience


• Hands-on 3-way matching experience (invoice, purchase order, receiving document) and variance resolution


• Experience working in a desktop or on-premise ERP accessed through Remote Desktop (RDP), VPN, or Citrix


• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including VLOOKUPs and pivot tables


• Strong written and spoken English for phone and email contact with US vendors and internal leadership


• Fiber internet of at least 100 Mbps download and upload, a hardwired Ethernet connection, and backup power (UPS or generator)


• Full availability during US business hours (Eastern or Central time)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting US-based companies or US corporate accounting workflows


• Experience preparing ACH, wire, and check payment runs


• Experience supporting month-end AP close

Responsibilities

• Review, code, and batch enter vendor invoices, receipts, and check requests into the ERP


• Match invoices against purchase orders and receiving documents to confirm pricing, quantities, and terms


• Investigate and resolve price and quantity variances and unbilled receipts with internal purchasing and warehouse teams and with vendors


• Act as the main contact for vendor questions on payment status, statement reconciliations, and billing disputes, by email and phone


• Audit vendor statements regularly to keep accounts current and surface unrecorded liabilities


• Prepare payment runs (ACH, wire, check), support month-end AP close, and build reports for the controllers

Working arrangement

Full-time remote contractor role, 40 hours per week, aligned to US Eastern or Central business hours. Open to candidates in Latin America  or South Africa. Wi-Fi is not permitted for remote desktop sessions. The interview process includes a live internet speed, bandwidth, and remote desktop connectivity test.

Who thrives in this role

• Detail-obsessed, the kind of person who reconciles to the cent and checks twice before posting


• Calm and organized when invoice volume spikes around month-end


• Comfortable picking up the phone to settle a billing dispute politely but firmly


• Asks a clarifying question rather than guessing on a coding or matching issue


• Enjoys routine, repeatable work done cleanly and on schedule
