Apple One is seeking an experienced Accountant/Accounts Payable Specialist for an excellent opportunity with a public-sector organization in downtown Charlotte. This position offers a hybrid schedule, flexibility within standard business hours, and the opportunity for long-term career growth. Equipment is provided for both home and office workstations.

The organization is undergoing a significant financial systems and operational transition, creating an opportunity for an experienced AP professional to contribute to evolving processes and financial operations.

This is NOT a traditional high-volume AP invoice entry position. The ideal candidate will have strong Accounts Payable experience, excellent analytical skills, and the ability to independently investigate and resolve complex financial issues.

• Manage capital invoicing processes and coordinate directly with project managers.
• Research and resolve complex invoice discrepancies, payment exceptions, retainage, and sales tax issues.
• Troubleshoot escalated Accounts Payable transactions and determine appropriate resolutions.
• Prepare and process journal entries and expense transfers.
• Analyze financial data, identify discrepancies, and support accurate payment processing.
• Assist with payment settlement processes and evolving financial responsibilities.
• Collaborate with accounting leadership, internal departments, and external partners.

• Strong hands-on Accounts Payable experience beyond basic invoice entry.
• Intermediate to advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including Pivot Tables, CONCATENATE, and formulas.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to independently research and resolve discrepancies.
• Solid understanding of AP processes, payment workflows, and financial transactions.
• Excellent communication, organizational, and time management skills.
• Ability to adapt to changing priorities and work effectively in an evolving environment.

• Workday ERP experience.
• Capital project invoicing, retainage, or complex AP transaction experience.
• Experience preparing journal entries and expense transfers.
• Experience supporting financial systems implementations or process improvements.

We are looking for someone who enjoys solving problems, takes initiative, and is comfortable working in an environment where processes are evolving. The successful candidate will be resourceful, adaptable, and confident navigating complex financial situations while collaborating with multiple departments.
