About the role
Accounts Payable Specialist We are looking for an Accounts Payable Specialist to support day-to-day payment operations for a professional services firm in the Washington, D.C. area.

Prepare and complete scheduled check runs and other payment activities in alignment with internal deadlines.
Maintain weekly accounts payable activity to ensure obligations are recorded and paid according to agreed terms.

Communicate with vendors and internal teams to answer payment questions and address invoice-related issues.
Monitor outstanding items, follow up on approvals, and help keep payment processing current and organized.
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.
