Accounts Payable Analyst

Hybrid – Only 1–2 Days in Office | Great Work-Life Balance | Excellent Benefits

We are partnering with a highly successful and established industrial manufacturing company to hire an Accounts Payable Analyst for its accounting team.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys Accounts Payable but wants more than a traditional transaction-processing position. You'll have ownership of the full AP cycle, work closely with the broader accounting and finance team, and gain exposure to several areas of the business.

The company offers an excellent culture, tremendous flexibility and true work-life balance, with employees typically coming into the office only 1–2 days per week. They also offer a strong benefits package and an environment where people can build long-term careers.

What You'll Do

  • Manage the full-cycle Accounts Payable process from invoice receipt through payment.
  • Review, code and process invoices while ensuring appropriate approvals and documentation.
  • Set up new vendors and maintain accurate vendor information.
  • Research and resolve invoice and payment discrepancies.
  • Work directly with vendors and internal departments to resolve questions.
  • Assist with month-end close, accruals and AP-related reconciliations.
  • Prepare and maintain 1099 reporting.
  • Support payment processing, banking activity and intercompany transactions.
  • Assist with internal and external audits.
  • Help strengthen internal controls and identify opportunities to make AP processes more efficient.
  • Work closely with Accounting and Finance on reporting and special projects.
  • Gain exposure to international activity and transactions.

What They're Looking For

  • 3 years of Accounts Payable experience.
  • Strong understanding of the full AP cycle.
  • Good understanding of basic accounting, including debits and credits.
  • Strong Excel skills.
  • Experience with an ERP system; Microsoft Dynamics 365 experience is a plus.
  • Experience with 1099s and payment processing.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Detail-oriented and highly organized.
  • Comfortable managing multiple deadlines and priorities.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work across departments.
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance or a related field is preferred but not required for someone with strong experience.
