• Accounts Payable Specialist

    Robert Half Accountemps (El Cajon, CA)


    Description

    We are partnering with a well-established and growing organization in East County San Diego that is expanding its operations and recently added new locations, driving a need for additional support on the accounting team. This role is designed to support increased invoice and purchase order volume, as well as the continued rollout of AP automation. This is a great opportunity for an experienced AP professional who enjoys structure, ownership, and process improvement, someone who wants to step into a role where they can quickly become the go-to person for accounts payable while working alongside a collaborative team.

    Key Responsibilities

    + Process high-volume vendor invoices accurately and on time

    + Perform 3-way matching (PO, receiving, invoice) — this will be a core part of the role

    + Manage and monitor purchase orders (roughly 50% of the workload)

    + Support weekly payment runs and vendor setup/maintenance

    + Assist with the transition to a more automated AP environment (Tipalti)

    + Work across multiple locations and company codes within the AP system

    + Partner with operations, purchasing, and the outside controller as needed

    + Help support inventory and audit processes by providing AP documentation

    Requirements

    + 2+ years of hands-on Accounts Payable experience

    + Strong understanding of PO-based invoicing and 3-way matching

    + Experience in manufacturing, distribution, or inventory-based environments is a strong plus

    + Exposure to AP automation tools (such as Tipalti) is a plus, not required

    + Experience with ERP systems such as Sage 100 is helpful

    + Detail-oriented, organized, and comfortable working in a fast-moving environment
