Our Vancouver-area client is adding an Accounts Payable Lead to their team on a temp-to-hire basis, and this is a great opportunity for someone who likes detailed A/P work, steady workflow, and being a go-to resource for a team.


As the Accounts Payable Lead, you would join a busy accounting department and help keep daily A/P processing accurate, organized, and moving forward.

  • Working within ERP/accounting systems
  • Reviewing reports in Excel
  • Helping improve process flow and efficiency
  • Supporting vendor disbursements and related A/P activity
  • Providing guidance and support to A/P team members as needed

This is an in-office opportunity with a steady team in a quieter work environment. The right person will be focused, driven, accurate, and comfortable taking ownership while still being approachable and team-oriented.


To be considered, you should have:

  • High-volume A/P processing experience
  • Prior lead, senior, training, workflow, or review experience preferred
  • ERP or accounting system experience
  • Intermediate Excel skills
  • Strong attention to detail and follow-through
  • Ability to research and resolve errors independently
  • A steady, focused, team-oriented personality

Please apply if this sounds like the type of A/P role you have been looking for.
