Accounts Payable Specialist

Accounts Payable Specialist

Location: Seattle / West Lake
Salary Range: $58,240 – $74,880 DOE

If you’re looking to bring your accounting expertise to a company that thrives on innovation, high-quality products, and a culture built around creativity and collaboration, this opportunity is one you’ll want to explore. Our client is a well‑established, rapidly growing organization known for its passion-driven, craftsmanship‑oriented approach and its commitment to delivering exceptional experiences. With a vibrant, energetic atmosphere and a team that values resourcefulness and teamwork, this is an exciting place for an Accounts Payable Specialist to make an impact.

This organization moves quickly, operates with intention, and values professionals who take ownership, communicate clearly, and embrace continuous improvement. As an Accounts Payable Specialist, you’ll be part of a high‑functioning finance team that plays a key role in supporting daily operations across departments.

About the Accounts Payable Specialist Role

The Accounts Payable Specialist will own the full A/P lifecycle from start to finish, ensuring invoices are processed accurately, timelines are met, and strong relationships are maintained with internal partners and external vendors. If you enjoy fast-paced work, solving problems, and stepping in wherever needed to support the broader accounting function, this role offers both challenge and growth.

Key Responsibilities for the Accounts Payable Specialist

• Manage the complete, end‑to‑end Accounts Payable cycle—from invoice intake and OCR upload to coding, approvals, payment processing, and check runs
• Monitor workflows, troubleshoot issues, and partner with internal teams to ensure timely and accurate vendor payments
• Support month‑end close, including ensuring invoices are recorded or accrued in alignment with accounting deadlines
• Assist with 1099 preparation and reporting
• Provide cross‑training and backup support for related accounting and operational responsibilities

Qualifications for the Accounts Payable Specialist

The ideal Accounts Payable Specialist will bring:

• A high school diploma or equivalent (coursework in accounting or finance preferred)
• Hands‑on experience with full‑cycle A/P
• Experience with Great Plains, Business Central, or Dynamics strongly preferred
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Comfortable using Excel (sorting, filtering, simple lookups) with an eagerness to learn new systems and tools
• OCR experience a plus

Why This Accounts Payable Specialist Role Stands Out

As an Accounts Payable Specialist here, you’ll be joining a team that values accuracy, communication, and true partnership across departments. Your work will help keep operations running smoothly and support a company that prides itself on exceptional standards, strong brand culture, and continuous evolution.

This isn’t just an A/P role—it’s a chance to grow, collaborate, and be part of an environment that appreciates initiative and celebrates people who take pride in their craft.
