AP Specialist

Location: Sandy Springs, GA (5 days on-site)

Employment Type: Full-time / Permanent

Our client is seeking an on-site Accounts Payable Specialist to own the full-cycle AP process for a growing multi-location healthcare organization. This role reports to the Accounting Manager/Controller and covers everything from invoice processing and weekly payment runs through AP-to-GL reconciliation and month-end close support. The client is specifically looking for someone who is AI-forward or AI-curious — a candidate who looks for ways to automate and improve the process rather than repeat it.

• Own the AP function.
• Direct visibility with leadership on a lean team.
• Real mandate to improve processes and bring automation and AI ideas to the table.
• Support a stable, growing organization that continues to expand its footprint.
• Exposure to month-end close, accruals, reconciliations, and external audit support.

• Process high-volume vendor invoices across multiple locations, including coding, approvals, and supporting documentation.
• Match invoices to purchase orders and receiving documentation where applicable.
• Enter invoices into the ERP and maintain organized, audit-ready records.
• Prepare and execute weekly ACH, wire, and check payment runs.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for vendor payment inquiries and discrepancy resolution.
• Maintain vendor records, including W-9s and payment information, and support vendor onboarding.
• Reconcile vendor statements and monitor aging reports to resolve outstanding items.
• Reconcile the AP subledger to the general ledger.
• Prepare accruals and supporting schedules for month-end and year-end close.
• Generate AP reports and provide analysis to leadership.
• Support external audits with requested documentation.
• Identify process improvements and assist with accounting system implementation and optimization.

• 3+ years of full-cycle accounts payable experience.
• Experience processing high-volume invoices in a multi-location or multi-entity environment.
• Sage Intacct or comparable mid-to-large ERP experience (Net Suite, Workday, Great Plains, Infor). Quick Books-only backgrounds are not a fit.
• Experience reconciling the AP subledger to the general ledger and preparing accruals for close.
