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.

  • 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.

  • Strong attention to detail and follow-through
  • Ability to research and resolve errors independently
  • A steady, focused, team-oriented personality
