Job Description

The Accounts Payable Specialist ensures timely and accurate processing of vendor scrap payments, with a focus on freight invoicing, reconciliations, and month-end close support.

  • Monitor freight accruals throughout the period and clear unused or excess accruals as part of the month-end close process.
  • Reconcile vendor accounts and monthly statements, identifying and resolving any discrepancies to maintain up-to-date and accurate payables records.
  • Collaborate proactively with vendors and internal stakeholders to resolve payment and billing issues; escalate unresolved matters to the appropriate parties as needed.
  • Deliver exceptional service to vendors and internal customers by responding to inquiries professionally and in a timely manner.
  • Conduct vendor callbacks to verify banking information, ensure accounts are correctly set up for EFT/wire payments, supporting fraud prevention and payment security.
  • Utilize system-generated reports and financial data to monitor AP activity and ensure accurate documentation of transactions.
  • Analyze payment trends and provide insights to management to support data-driven decision-making and improve working capital management.
  • Maintain complete, accurate, and organized documentation and digital filing systems in compliance with company policies and audit requirements.
  • Identify opportunities for process improvement, and contribute to the creation of end-user training guides (EUTGs).
  • Assist with internal and external audits by preparing required documentation and responding to auditor inquiries in a timely and accurate manner.
  • Support ad hoc accounting tasks, reporting initiatives, and special projects as assigned by the Finance or AP leadership team

  • You have experience with outgoing payments (EFT, wire, cheque) and/or reconciling payments.
  • You have excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with a proven ability to identify and resolve discrepancies in financial records.
  • You have intermediate proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Office Suite.
