Accounts Payable Specialist
kpmHouston (TX)
About the role
Accounts Payable Specialist We are looking for an experienced Accounts Payable Specialist to join our Treasury / AP team on a contract basis for 35 months, covering a team member on leave. This is a hands-on, high-volume role focused on utility payments, vendor invoice processing, and daily banking. Depending on business needs and performance, this position may convert to a permanent role. You will work alongside our existing Treasury and AP staff supporting a large portfolio of multifamily and commercial real estate properties. If you are comfortable in bank portals, move quickly without losing accuracy, and like owning a process end to end, this is a good fit.
What You'll Do:
Utility payments process and schedule high-volume utility bills across the property portfolio; monitor for late notices, shut-off risk, and past-due balances; resolve discrepancies directly with utility providers and set up new accounts at transfer. Bank portals and payments initiate and release wires and ACH payments through multiple online banking portals; manage positive pay exceptions, stop payments, and payment confirmations. Invoice processing code, enter, and route vendor invoices for approval; match invoices to POs and contracts; ensure correct property, GL account, and period coding. Vendor management maintain vendor master records, W-9s, and remittance details; respond to vendor inquiries on payment status; reconcile vendor statements. Treasury support assist with daily cash positioning, funding requests, and payment prioritization; prepare payment batches for review and approval. Reporting and cleanup run and review aged payables reports; help clear aging items and correct miscoded entries; support month-end AP close and accruals. Controls follow approval limits and dual-control requirements on all outbound payments; escalate anything unusual rather than working around it.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
