| Location | San Diego, CA |

LHH Recruitment Solutions is partnering with a stable, mission-driven organization in the San Diego area to hire an experienced Accounts Payable Specialist.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys accounts payable but wants a role with more substance than simply processing high volumes of invoices. You'll join a collaborative accounting team where accuracy, judgment and attention to detail matter. The AP volume itself is manageable, but the team is looking for someone comfortable digging into the details and determining the appropriate accounting treatment for the invoices.
This position is a hybrid position offering 2 days remote weekly.
What You'll Do
Manage full-cycle accounts payable, including invoice approvals, coding and entry
Review invoices for proper documentation, coding and accuracy
Handle more complex invoices involving multiple expense categories, split coding and prepaid expenses
Support AP month-end close activities
Review corporate credit card activity and employee expense reports
Work within Concur and assist with expense and invoice-related questions
Prepare payment requests including ACH, wires and check runs
Support AP activity across multiple entities
Research and resolve vendor discrepancies and payment inquiries
Partner with internal departments to obtain approvals and resolve invoice issues
Assist with audit support and supporting documentation
Help identify opportunities to improve AP processes, workflows and internal controls
Maintain and help develop AP procedures and documentation
What We're Looking For
5+ years of accounts payable experience
Strong understanding of full-cycle AP and internal controls
Experience working with complex invoice coding, accrual-related activities and/or prepaid expenses
Experience supporting multiple entities is a plus
SAP Concur or similar software experience is preferred
Intermediate Microsoft Excel skills preferred
Ability to work independently and think critically through coding and payment questions
Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance or a related area preferred, although equivalent experience may be considered
Compensation & Benefits
Competitive salary and compensation package
Discretionary annual bonus based on individual and company performance
Hybrid schedule with two days a week remote
Medical, dental and vision coverage 100% covered for the employee
401(k) with match
3 weeks of PTO
Generous paid holiday schedule
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
If you've spent your career in accounts payable but want to move beyond high-volume, repetitive processing, this role offers the chance to take greater ownership of the AP function. You'll be part of a smaller accounting organization where your ability to think through complex coding, solve problems, improve processes and build relationships across the business will be valued.
