Accounts Paybale Clerk

Accounts Payable Clerk responsible for full-cycle, high-volume invoice processing, manual data entry, and vendor payments in a mid to large company environment. The role also supports process improvement and automation initiatives within an SAP-based accounting environment. This role is offered as a temporary assignment with the potential to extend based on business needs and performance, providing an excellent opportunity to contribute to a high-volume AP environment and key automation initiatives.

• Process a high volume of vendor invoices, credits, and payments accurately and within established timelines (often hundreds per week in a mid to large organization).
• Work heavily in manual, detailed tasks (data entry) while helping transition to more automated workflows in a new accounting system.

• Receive, review, code, and enter invoices into the AP/ERP system, ensuring correct GL accounts, cost centers, tax, and approvals.
• Perform 2‑way/3‑way match between purchase orders, receipts, and invoices, investigating and resolving discrepancies with procurement and receiving.
• Prepare and process high-volume payment runs (ACH, wire, check) and verify that payments are authorized, accurate, and on schedule.
• Reconcile vendor statements, research aged items, and resolve issues such as short-pays, price/quantity differences, and duplicate invoices.
• Maintain organized electronic and/or paper files for invoices, payments, and support documentation to ensure a clear audit trail.

• 2+ years of recent accounts payable experience in a high-volume environment within a mid to large company.
• Strong hands‑on experience with manual AP processing (data entry, matching, reconciliations) and comfort working with large transaction volumes.
• SAP AP experience strongly preferred; experience with other ERP/AP automation platforms is an asset.
• Solid understanding of basic accounting/AP principles, vendor terms, and payment cycles, with high attention to detail and accuracy.
• Must be immediately available to start assignment upon hire.
