Description Accounts Payable Specialist | Put Your Accounting Skills to Work Are you an accounting detail oriented who enjoys staying organized, solving problems, and making sure the details are right? We are looking for an Accounts Payable Specialist to join an established manufacturing organization in Green Bay for a long-term contract opportunity. This is a great fit for someone with an Associate degree in Accounting or a related field who has built a solid foundation in A/P and is ready to take ownership of the day-to-day process. You'll work with both internal teams and vendors while gaining hands-on experience across the full accounts payable cycle. What You'll Be Doing Manage full-cycle accounts payable, from invoice entry and coding through payment. Process vendor invoices accurately and schedule payments according to established terms. Prepare manual checks and electronic payments, ensuring vendors are paid accurately and on time. Review invoices for appropriate general ledger coding and sales/use tax treatment. Research missing information and follow up with internal teams or vendors to keep invoices moving through the process. Coordinate required approvals for invoices and payment requests. Serve as a go-to contact for vendors and company locations, answering questions and helping resolve payment or invoice discrepancies. Maintain accurate supporting documentation and organized A/P records. Help identify opportunities to keep the A/P process accurate, efficient, and running smoothly. Why This Opportunity? If you enjoy accounting but also like problem-solving and working with people, this role offers a nice combination. You'll have responsibility for the A/P process, interact with different areas of the organization, and continue building valuable accounting experience within a manufacturing environment. If you have an Associate degree in Accounting and hands-on A/P experience, we'd love to hear from you. Requirements What You'll Bring An Associate degree in Accounting, Business, or a related field, or 2+ years of hands-on experience in accounting, bookkeeping, accounts payable, or a similar financial support role. Practical accounts payable experience, including invoice entry, payment scheduling, and working with vendors. A solid understanding of general ledger coding and the ability to accurately classify invoices and expenses. Experience with ACH payments, check processing, and routine payment runs. Strong attention to detail—you're someone who notices when something doesn't look right and takes the initiative to research it. A friendly, detail oriented communication style and the confidence to work with vendors and internal departments to answer questions and resolve discrepancies. The ability to stay organized, juggle multiple priorities, and keep things moving in a busy, deadline-driven environment.
