Job ID: 43374236052
Category: Interim Accounting & Finance
Location: El Segundo, CA

Accounts Payable Specialist (Contract – Medical Leave Coverage)
$27–$28/hr | 12 Weeks | Onsite Wednesdays & Thursdays (flexible schedule)

We are partnering with a long-standing client in El Segundo to identify an Accounts Payable Specialist for a 12-week contract covering a medical leave. This client is known for fostering a collaborative, team-first culture, and we’ve supported them for years. Their AP and AR teams operate closely together, creating a strong environment for professionals who thrive in high-volume, detail-oriented work.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Processing 100–200 invoices per week with accuracy and efficiency.
• Performing 3-way matching across purchase orders, receipts, and invoices.
• Handling vendor relationships, including resolving pricing discrepancies and partnering with procurement.
• Working with managers to obtain invoice approvals.
• Maintaining accurate records within the AP system to ensure timely payments.

Must-Haves

• At least 2 years of AP experience in a high-volume environment.
• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.
• Proficiency in MS Excel (basic formulas, sum functions).
• Familiarity with an AP accounting system.
• Experience with 3-way matching.

Nice-to-Haves

• Background in the manufacturing industry.
• Experience with EDI.
• Knowledge of D365.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This role offers the chance to join a synergetic AP team of 5 that works hand-in-hand with AR to keep operations running smoothly. The group is collaborative, supportive, and values accuracy and accountability. Plus, the flexible onsite schedule (Wednesdays & Thursdays) is designed to help beat LA traffic.
