What are the responsibilities and job description for the Accounts Payable (AP) Specialist position at Leavitt Capital Companies?
About Leavitt Capital Companies
Leavitt Capital Companies is a commercial real estate operations firm that manages a diverse portfolio of properties across Washington and Idaho. We are seeking a dependable, detail-oriented Accounts Payable Specialist to join our collaborative accounting team.
The Opportunity
This is not a traditional single-company accounts payable position. Leavitt Capital Companies provides accounting support for several dozen commercial properties and ownership entities, each of which maintains separate accounting records.
The AP Specialist will manage invoices from receipt through payment while ensuring that each transaction is assigned to the correct ownership entity, property, vendor, and general ledger account. The right candidate will be highly organized, comfortable learning complex systems, and able to follow numerous invoices, approvals, and deadlines through completion.
We welcome candidates who have some accounting, bookkeeping, AP, or high-volume data-entry experience, but we place greater value on aptitude, accuracy, curiosity, and a genuine willingness to learn our processes.
What You’ll Do
- Receive, review, organize, and accurately enter vendor invoices into Yardi.
- Assign invoices to the correct ownership entity, property, general ledger account, purchase order, and approval workflow.
- Monitor outstanding approvals and follow up with employees so invoices are processed by applicable deadlines.
- Research and resolve missing documentation, incorrect coding, duplicate invoices, vendor credits, and other discrepancies.
- Prepare payment runs, checks, electronic payment information, and supporting documentation for review and signature.
- Respond professionally to vendor and internal questions and assist with AP reporting, audits, 1099 support, and process-improvement projects.
What We’re Looking For
- Exceptional attention to detail and a strong commitment to accuracy.
- High learning aptitude and an interest in understanding a complex, multi-entity property accounting structure.
- Strong organization, time management, problem-solving, and follow-through.
- Ability to remain productive and professional in a busy, sometimes chaotic, environment with frequent interruptions and changing priorities.
- Openness to learning established processes that may differ from accounting methods used by other companies.
- Comfort working in complex, database-driven software; Yardi experience is helpful but not required.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications and a willingness to learn new technology and use AI tools appropriately.
- Ability to communicate and work effectively with accounting, property management, operations, brokerage, and vendors.
- Some prior bookkeeping, AP, accounting, or high-volume data-entry experience preferred.
