A well-established manufacturing company in Long Beach is looking for an experienced Accounts Payable Specialist to join their team on a short-term contract basis. This is a great fit for an accounting professional who's comfortable jumping into a high-volume, fast-moving AP function and hitting the ground running.

What You'll Do

    • Process operating and manufacturing invoices within the company's ERP system
    • Handle full-cycle AP, including invoice review, coding, and payment processing
    • Prepare and run weekly payment cycles (ACH, wire transfers, and checks)

    • Partner with internal teams and vendors to keep invoice processing and payment issues moving

What You Bring

    • 3–5 years of full-cycle Accounts Payable experience
    • Hands-on ERP system experience required (QuickBooks-only experience won't meet the need for this role)

    • Comfort adapting and reprioritizing in a fast-paced setting
    • Advanced Excel skills, including Pivot Tables and VLOOKUPs
