Temporary Remote Accounts Payable Clerk

Temporary Accounts Payable ClerkAm Law 100 Firm | Remote (see locations below) | Contract

Are you an AP pro who knows your way around a high-volume, paperless finance operation? One of the country's top law firms needs a sharp, experienced Accounts Payable Clerk to jump in and keep their global AP function running smoothly. If you can own the full invoice-to-payment cycle, work independently, and bring solid systems knowledge — this one's for you.

What You'll Be Doing

Invoice & Payment Processing You'll handle the full AP cycle — processing high-volume invoices with two- and three-way matching, GL coding, and approval routing. That includes check requests, wires, ACH, credit card transactions, and employee expense reimbursements. When discrepancies pop up, you'll track them down and resolve them. You'll also pitch in on month-end and year-end close, including accruals and reconciliations.

Compliance & Controls All transactions need to meet GAAP standards and SOX controls — you know the drill. You'll keep documentation audit-ready, support internal and external audit requests, and speak up when you spot a control gap or something that doesn't look right.

Vendor & Stakeholder Management You'll be the point of contact for vendor inquiries, reconcile vendor statements, and work with internal teams to clear approval delays and knock out past-due invoices.

Systems & Process You'll live in Emburse (Chrome River) for expense and invoice workflows, and work within Elite 3E for day-to-day AP operations. You'll also support colleagues on platform questions, assist with data validation during system updates, and contribute to process improvements and SOP documentation.

What You Bring

• 2+ years of hands-on AP experience, ideally in a law firm or professional services setting
• Direct experience with Emburse (Chrome River) — this one's required
• Familiarity with Elite 3E - Required
• Strong working knowledge of GAAP and SOX in an AP context
• Advanced Excel skills: VLOOKUPs, pivot tables, data analysis
• Comfort operating in a high-volume, paperless AP environment
• Associate's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field (Bachelor's preferred)

Bonus points for:

• Experience with P2P platforms like Zycus or Coupa
• Exposure to ERP migrations or finance process improvement initiatives
