Accounts Payable Specialist
CFS
Shelton, CT
Manufacturing Company | Full-Time | $50-60k
A growing and innovative manufacturing company is seeking a motivated Accounts Payable Specialist to join its accounting team. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment where finance directly supports operations, production, and vendor partnerships.
This is more than a traditional AP role—you’ll play a key part in ensuring the financial engine behind a busy manufacturing operation runs smoothly. The ideal candidate thrives on organization, accuracy, and collaboration with teams across purchasing, logistics, and finance.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Own the full-cycle accounts payable process from invoice receipt through payment
- Process and code a high volume of invoices while ensuring accuracy and proper approvals
- Perform 3-way matching of invoices, purchase orders, and receiving documentation
- Coordinate closely with purchasing, operations, and supply chain teams to resolve discrepancies
- Manage vendor relationships and respond to inquiries regarding payments and account status
- Prepare and process check runs, ACH, and wire payments
- Reconcile vendor statements and investigate variances
- Assist with month-end close, including accruals and AP reporting
- Identify opportunities to streamline processes and improve efficiency within the AP function
What They’re Looking For
- 2+ years of Accounts Payable experience, ideally within manufacturing, distribution, or a product-based environment
- Experience working with purchase orders and 3-way matching
- Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple priorities
- Comfort working in ERP systems and Excel
- A team-oriented mindset with strong communication skills
Why This Role Stands Out
- Join a stable and growing manufacturing company
- Work in a collaborative, team-oriented accounting department
- Gain exposure to the operational side of finance
- Opportunity to contribute ideas and improve processes as the company continues to grow
MaxSalary: USD60000
