Job Description

GHJ Search and Staffing serves as the recruitment division of GHJ, a prominent national accounting and advisory firm. Our team provides qualified Accounting and Finance professionals on a temporary and permanent basis across a broad range of industries. GHJ’s relationship with our Global Advisory and Accounting Network provides the resources needed to better understand client’s needs, attract a higher caliber of candidates and assess candidate potential.

A well-established manufacturing company in Long Beach is looking for an experienced Accounts Payable Specialist to join their team on a short-term contract basis. This is a great fit for an accounting professional who's comfortable jumping into a high-volume, fast-moving AP function and hitting the ground running.

What You'll Do

• Process operating and manufacturing invoices within the company's ERP system


• Handle full-cycle AP, including invoice review, coding, and payment processing


• Prepare and run weekly payment cycles (ACH, wire transfers, and checks)


• Reconcile vendor statements and resolve any discrepancies


• Monitor A/P aging reports to catch and resolve outstanding or missed payments


• Maintain accurate, up-to-date vendor records


• Partner with internal teams and vendors to keep invoice processing and payment issues moving

What You Bring

• 3–5 years of full-cycle Accounts Payable experience


• Hands-on ERP system experience required (QuickBooks-only experience won't meet the need for this role)


• A sharp eye for detail and accuracy


• Comfort adapting and reprioritizing in a fast-paced setting


• Advanced Excel skills, including Pivot Tables and VLOOKUPs

$25 - $30 an hour
