Accounts Payable Specialist

We are looking for a remote Accounts Payable Specialist to join a manufacturing organization in northwest suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. This contract opportunity with permanent potential is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-volume environment and can manage invoice processing with accuracy and consistency. The position supports daily accounts payable operations, including reconciliations and timely case submission, while helping maintain continuity in a largely manual workflow.

Experience with Brightpearl is appreciated, though candidates with strong accounts payable backgrounds using comparable systems are also encouraged to apply.

Responsibilities:

• Process a high volume of vendor invoices each day while maintaining accuracy in data entry, account coding, and payment preparation.

• Review invoices for proper coding and supporting documentation before routing them through the payable workflow.

• Complete reconciliations and resolve discrepancies to keep records current and vendor balances accurate.

• Submit payment-related cases and required documentation within established deadlines to support on-time processing.

• Prepare and assist with ACH transactions and check runs in accordance with internal payment schedules.

• Organize and manage payable records in a manual environment that relies heavily on folders, email, and detailed tracking.

• Support the team as a backup resource for Brightpearl-related accounts payable activities when needed.

• Communicate with internal partners and vendors to address invoice questions, payment status updates, and outstanding issues.
