Kforce has a client that is seeking an Accounts Payable Specialist in Johnston, RI. Summary: We are seeking a detail-oriented Accounts Payable Specialist to support a high-volume AP function within a dynamic corporate environment. This is a full-cycle AP role requiring both transactional execution and analytical problem-solving. The ideal candidate is comfortable working in a fast-paced setting, managing multiple priorities, and contributing to process improvements. Essential Functions:
  • Handle end-to-end AP processing, including invoice entry, coding, PO/3-way matching, and routing through approval workflows
  • Manage a high-volume workload (40-50 invoices daily), ensuring items are processed accurately and on time
  • Oversee a shared AP inbox, triaging requests and maintaining organized workflows from intake through resolution
  • Partner with internal stakeholders to secure timely approvals and address outstanding items
  • Maintain vendor master data, including onboarding documentation such as W-9s, and ensure accuracy of records
  • Act as a point of contact for vendors, resolving discrepancies, payment inquiries, and invoice issues
  • Research and resolve exceptions, identifying root causes for delays or rejected invoices
  • Support month-end close activities, including reconciliations, balancing, and reporting deliverables
  • Leverage Excel for tracking, reporting, and data uploads to support AP operations
  • Identify opportunities for process improvements and assist with ad hoc analysis or special projects

Requirements:

  • 3+ years of hands-on Accounts Payable experience, including full-cycle processing
  • Experience working in a high-volume AP environment (150-200 invoices weekly)
  • Solid understanding of invoice coding, matching processes, and AP workflows
  • Exposure to reconciliations and month-end close support
  • Intermediate Excel skills for tracking and reporting purposes
  • Strong organizational and time management skills with the ability to juggle competing priorities
  • High attention to detail with a problem-solving and analytical mindset
  • Effective communication skills when working cross-functionally and with external vendors
  • Adaptable and proactive approach, with the ability to quickly learn new systems and processes
  • Real Estate/Yardi experience would be a huge plus

The pay range is the lowest to highest compensation we reasonably in good faith believe we would pay at posting for this role. We may ultimately pay more or less than this range. Employee pay is based on factors like relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, location, performance, union contract and business needs. This range may be modified in the future.
