Accounts Payable Specialist

Overview

Are you passionate about numbers, precision, and detail? Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment? If so, we have the perfect opportunity for you to shine! We are seeking a dedicated Accounts Payable Specialist to ensure our financial operations run seamlessly and accurately, playing a crucial role in our company's success.

Encore Fire Protection is a leading full-service fire protection company serving the Northeast, from Maine to Pennsylvania, with over 30,000 customers and over 1,800 employees. Our mission is to deliver a unique experience to those who depend on us to save lives and protect property with innovative fire suppression, fire sprinkler, and fire alarm solutions.

As our Accounts Payable Specialist, you will take charge of the payables process from start to finish. From managing invoices to processing payments and maintaining strong vendor relationships, you'll help keep our financial operations running smoothly. If you’re passionate about precision and want to be part of a company that truly values its people, we’d love to have you on board!

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Collating invoices from daily mail
• Ensuring bills are properly allocated to corresponding jobs or projects
• Verifying the accuracy of bills against purchase orders
• Entering invoices for payment
• Communicating with senior accounting and finance teams regarding outstanding account balances and making payment recommendations
• Executing daily/weekly check runs

What You’ll Need to Do It:

• Must have a strong affinity for numbers and detail-oriented work
• 1-2 years of experience in a professional accounting role with payables responsibility
• Above-average proficiency with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel
• College degree preferred but not required

While technical skills are essential, we value certain characteristics across all departments:

• A passionate commitment to the success of yourself, your team, and Encore
• An understanding that sometimes it takes extra effort to get the job done, whether that means staying late, coming in early, taking on additional projects
• A belief that putting in extra effort is recognized and rewarded in the long run
• A natural desire to be part of a team, with an even stronger drive to excel and be the best
• Willingness to try new things, admit mistakes, and adapt to change

What We Offer:

At Encore, we are hyper-focused on developing a culture that thrives on success and is energized by the fact that we get to make people’s lives better and safer each day. We generously reward all those who contribute to our continued growth, and not all rewards are monetary. Here are just a few perks that a successful individual in this role can expect:

• Salary commensurate with experience with opportunity for a results-driven bonus based on personal output and effectiveness in role.
• Purpose and results-driven work environment (work smarter, not harder).
• We dress for the objective, which means most days we wear jeans, but occasionally we wear suits. As long as you know which situations require which (or aren't afraid to ask), you'll be all set!
• Speaking of attire, we offer all employees Encore gear when they join the team.
• Snacks and coffee every day and weekly "to-order" office lunches and breakfast.
• Freedom to express ideas - a culture of willingness to test, try, modify, adopt, enhance, improve, and CHANGE as needed.
• Access to leading-edge web-based productivity tools.
• Participation in Fidelity 401(K) that includes employer match.
• Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits through Blue Cross.
• Company-paid life insurance policy of $50,000.
