Overview

Hi, I’m Terre Holmes, Accounts Payable Manager, and I’m looking for a Contractor Accounts Payable Coordinator to support the day-to-day operations of our Accounting team. This is a mid-level role - we're looking for someone who already gets the fundamentals of accounting and understands the why behind how we process payables, not just the mechanics of getting an invoice from A to B. You should be able to connect what you're doing day-to-day to where the team is headed, so we're building together instead of you needing a lot of hand-holding along the way.

This is a great role for someone who is detail-oriented, organized, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. You'll work closely with our AP Manager and broader Accounting team to ensure timely, accurate payables and solid financial hygiene.

One thing we want to be upfront about: this role carries real ownership and can be demanding at times. If you're looking for a steady, identical-every-day kind of job, this probably isn't it. If you want a role where the work matters and you're trusted to run with it, that's exactly what we're building.

Some things you'll do

  • Process incoming invoices with speed and accuracy, ensuring correct vendor setup, GL coding, and department allocation
  • Review invoices for completeness and follow up on missing or incorrect information
  • Monitor the AP inbox and route questions or requests to the appropriate internal stakeholders
  • Onboard new vendors in our accounting system and maintain up-to-date vendor records
  • Respond to vendor inquiries with clear, professional communication
  • Match invoices to agreements or supporting documentation when applicable
  • Reconcile vendor statements against AP records and flag discrepancies
  • Reconcile corporate credit card transactions and investigate declined charges
  • Support weekly payment runs by preparing payment batches and updating trackers
  • Maintain organized digital records to support audits, reporting, and month-end close
  • Assist with light month-end activities, including invoice compilation for accruals
  • Contribute to ongoing AP process improvements and data clean-up initiatives

What we're looking for

  • Mid-level AP experience - we're specifically not looking for someone entry-level
  • Solid grasp of accounting fundamentals, including accruals and prepaid amortizations (a degree isn't required if you've built this knowledge through hands-on AP experience)
  • Startup experience is a big plus
  • Strong attention to detail and a high bar for data accuracy
  • Clear, professional written communication skills
  • Comfort managing routine, deadline-driven work in a remote environment, with the composure to stay steady even when things get a little stressful
  • Willingness to ask questions, flag issues, and escalate appropriately
  • Experience with Ramp is a plus, especially Ramp Bill Pay. 

You'll be successful in this role if you

  • Enjoy structured, process-driven work and take pride in getting the details right
  • Stay organized and calm when handling a steady flow of tasks
  • Communicate proactively and follow through consistently
  • Prefer clean books and tidy records over "we'll fix it later"

Logistics

  • Hours: Full time - 40 hours/week
  • Location: Remote, located in the US or Canada
  • Contract: 6-months, with possible extension/conversion
  • Compensation: $40USD/hour
  • Collaboration: Works closely with Accounts Payable Manager

Our Process

No gotchas, no trick questions — just a clear, human process designed to help both of us decide if this is a good fit.

  • 30-minute Zoom call with a Recruiter
  • 30-minute Zoom call with the AP Manager
  • 30-minute Zoom call with Leadership
  • Take-home scenario exercise, followed by a final review call with the AP Manager

All final candidates will be asked to complete a background check and employment verification as part of our pre-engagement process.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
