We are looking for an Accounts Payable Specialist to join a tourism organization in Vancouver, British Columbia on a Contract basis. This role is ideal for someone who can learn new processes quickly, work carefully through high-volume transactions, and apply sound judgment when reviewing exceptions.

• Manage accounts payable activity across different invoice streams, including hotel-related charges, departmental expenses, marketing invoices, and U.S.-based vendor payments.
• Use NetSuite and Coupa to maintain invoice records, support approvals, and monitor the status of transactions through the payment cycle.
• Apply accounting knowledge to identify irregularities, escalate higher-risk items, and make informed decisions when exceptions require further review.
• Assist with payment processing on the established schedule and contribute to improving the cadence and efficiency of weekly disbursement activities.
• Help reinforce stronger financial controls by following defined procedures, maintaining supporting documentation, and promoting appropriate oversight within accounts payable.
• Support audit readiness and month-end activities by organizing records, reconciling payable information, and assisting with accrual-related tasks as needed.
• Demonstrated experience in accounts payable within a high-volume processing environment.
• Practical knowledge of account coding, invoice review, and core accounting functions.
• Hands-on experience with NetSuite and Coupa or similar accounting and procurement platforms.
• Solid understanding of accrual accounting principles and accounts payable controls.
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to identify exceptions and exercise sound judgment.
