Accounts Payable Accountant
Salary: Up to $65,000 + Bonus Eligible
A growing organization in Houston is adding a newly created Accounts Payable Accountant position to support expanding operations. This opportunity is being presented by a third-party recruiting partner on behalf of our client.
This role is ideal for an experienced AP professional looking to step into a high-visibility, project-driven environment with exposure to international transactions and multi-entity accounting operations.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
Newly created role due to company growth
Exposure to international and cross-currency transactions
Work within a multi-company, project-based accounting structure
Competitive compensation + bonus eligibility
Opportunity to partner cross-functionally with accounting, operations, and project teams
Key Responsibilities:
Manage full-cycle accounts payable processing across multiple entities
Review and validate invoices for coding accuracy, approvals, and compliance
Handle vendor payments, including ACH, check runs, and select international transactions
Research and resolve discrepancies, missing documentation, and invoice issues
Partner with internal teams to ensure proper project and cost allocation
Maintain vendor records and support onboarding and updates as needed
Perform account reconciliations and assist with month-end AP close processes
Communicate with vendors to address payment status, inquiries, and account questions
Identify and recommend improvements to AP workflows and processes
Qualifications:
5+ years of full cycle accounts payable experience
Experience working in a multi-entity or project-based environment highly preferred
Exposure to international payments or foreign currency transactions is a plus
Strong Excel skills and familiarity with ERP/accounting systems
Proven ability to manage deadlines while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail
Strong communication skills with both internal stakeholders and external vendors
Work Environment:
100% onsite in Houston, TX
Fast-paced, collaborative, and detail-oriented accounting team
This is a strong opportunity for an AP professional who wants more than just transactional work-someone who can analyze, problem-solve, and contribute to process improvements in a growing organization.
Pay Details: $60,000.00 to $65,000.00 per year
