Accounts Payable Specialist

Accounts Payable Accountant

Salary: Up to $65,000 + Bonus Eligible

A growing organization in Houston is adding a newly created Accounts Payable Accountant position to support expanding operations. This opportunity is being presented by a third-party recruiting partner on behalf of our client.

This role is ideal for an experienced AP professional looking to step into a high-visibility, project-driven environment with exposure to international transactions and multi-entity accounting operations.

---

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Newly created role due to company growth

• Exposure to international and cross-currency transactions

• Work within a multi-company, project-based accounting structure

• Competitive compensation + bonus eligibility

• Opportunity to partner cross-functionally with accounting, operations, and project teams

---

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage full-cycle accounts payable processing across multiple entities

• Review and validate invoices for coding accuracy, approvals, and compliance

• Handle vendor payments, including ACH, check runs, and select international transactions

• Research and resolve discrepancies, missing documentation, and invoice issues

• Partner with internal teams to ensure proper project and cost allocation

• Maintain vendor records and support onboarding and updates as needed

• Perform account reconciliations and assist with month-end AP close processes

• Communicate with vendors to address payment status, inquiries, and account questions

• Identify and recommend improvements to AP workflows and processes

---

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of full cycle accounts payable experience

• Experience working in a multi-entity or project-based environment highly preferred

• Exposure to international payments or foreign currency transactions is a plus

• Strong Excel skills and familiarity with ERP/accounting systems

• Proven ability to manage deadlines while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail

• Strong communication skills with both internal stakeholders and external vendors

---

Work Environment:

• 100% onsite in Houston, TX

• Fast-paced, collaborative, and detail-oriented accounting team

---

This is a strong opportunity for an AP professional who wants more than just transactional work—someone who can analyze, problem-solve, and contribute to process improvements in a growing organization.
