Our client is a growing natural resources company with operations across the United States. They are seeking a detail-oriented Accounts Payable Specialist to join their Corpus Christi team.

As an Accounts Payable Specialist, you will provide essential administrative support to our team by performing accounts payable duties.

This is a key role that supports the operational efficiency of the company by ensuring the timely and accurate processing of payments to suppliers and contractors. Specific responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Accurately process and record vendor invoices in the financial system, ensuring all entries are matched with purchase orders, receipts, and    contracts.
• Apply a working knowledge of the Purchase Order (PO) process and its impact on invoicing, procurement, and payment activities.
• Maintain strong relationships with vendors, addressing inquiries, resolving discrepancies, and ensuring accurate payment records.
• Reconcile supplier accounts regularly, ensuring that balances match and discrepancies are resolved efficiently.
• Ensure that all accounts payable documentation is properly maintained and accessible for audits and internal control purposes.
• Assist in the preparation of monthly financial reports and reconciliation of accounts payable.
• Ensure proper filling and archiving of all accounts payable-related documents in accordance with company policy and legal requirements.
• Work closely with procurement, project management, and operations teams to ensure that invoices reflect correct charges and adhere to       company policies.
• Process vendor payments via check.

• A valid driver’s license is required.
• The successful candidate will be required to submit to mandatory drug and alcohol testing prior to employment.

• A minimum Associate's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field; or equivalent work experience in accounts payable.
• Demonstrated analytical and problem-solving ability, including the ability to independently investigate discrepancies, determine root           causes, identify corrective actions, and drive issues through resolution.
• Demonstrated ownership and follow-through; the successful candidate must be willing and able to pursue unresolved issues until they are    resolved rather than simply identifying or forwarding problems to others.
• Minimum 2-3 years of accounts payable experience, preferably in an industrial setting.
• Proficiency in accounting software, Microsoft Office Suite, and data entry systems.
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to identify discrepancies or errors in financial data.
