About the Role
The Accounts Payable Clerk will support our Employee Liability Management team by processing benefits-related payables and routine AP tasks for a large, multi‑state PEO. This role is designed for someone early in their career who wants to build a strong foundation in accounting and payroll-related payables.
Key Responsibilities
  • Process accounts payable for ELM once per week, including reviewing and coding vendor bills and submitting them for approval.
  • Process and pay employee benefits carrier invoices on a daily basis (medical, dental, vision, ancillary benefits and similar items).
  • Prepare and submit weekly 401k payments.
  • Process third‑party cutback checks once per week.
  • Verify invoice accuracy, coding, and appropriate backup; flag and help resolve discrepancies and variances.
  • Maintain organized electronic documentation for ELM AP, benefits invoices, 401k payments, and third‑party checks.
  • Respond to basic internal and external inquiries regarding payables in a professional and timely manner.
  • Support other routine tasks and projects within the accounting team as assigned.
Qualifications
  • High school diploma or GED required; some college coursework in Accounting, Finance, or Business is preferred.
  • 0–2 years of experience in accounts payable, payroll, benefits administration, or a general office/accounting support role.
  • Basic understanding of debit/credit concepts and interest in learning more about accounting and payroll processes.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Outlook, and Word; experience with accounting or payroll systems is a plus but not required.
Skills and Attributes
  • Works well with others and enjoys being part of a collaborative team environment.
  • Curious, eager to learn, and comfortable asking questions to understand the “why” behind processes.
  • Strong attention to detail and accuracy when working with numbers and high-volume transactions.
  • Good time management skills, with the ability to handle daily, weekly, and monthly deadlines.
  • Professional communication skills, both written and verbal.
  • Dependable, organized, and comfortable working with confidential data.
Growth and Development
  • Opportunity to learn foundational AP, benefits billing, and 401k funding processes within a large, multi‑entity PEO environment.
  • Exposure to multi‑state payroll, benefits, and general ledger workflows.
  • Potential to grow into more advanced accounting or payroll roles over time based on performance and interest.
How to Apply
Interested candidates should submit a resume and a brief statement (or cover letter) describing why they are interested in beginning or growing their career in accounting and what they enjoy about working with numbers and teams.
