Accounts Payable (A/P) Person for Construction Company—Bookkeeping

One of our Accounts Payable team members is retiring in about a month, so we need to move quickly. Ideally, I would like to hire someone within the next 2 weeks.

Non-negotiable: solid A/P experience (high-volume).

Strong preference: construction A/P exposure (job cost coding/PO-based invoicing), but it’s not required for the right person.

This is a high-volume, deadline-driven role. We need someone who is organized, accurate, and comfortable following up with vendors, resolving discrepancies, and staying on top of statements and payment cycles under pressure.

We’re also looking for someone who wants a long-term home and is interested in growing with the company as we improve processes and build out the team.

Priority will be given to candidates who: have a track record of staying 3–5+ years in prior roles, can give examples of managing high invoice volume, and are comfortable in a fast-paced construction office environment.
