Accounts Payable Specialist

About the Role

Northwest Cascade, home of Honey Bucket, is hiring an Accounts Payable Specialist to join our Accounting team in Puyallup.

This is more than a data-entry position. You will help keep invoices moving through an automated, paperless AP environment, resolve vendor and workflow issues, and identify opportunities to make our processes more efficient. We use Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Continia Document Management. Experience with these systems is helpful but not required—we will train someone who brings strong accounting fundamentals, attention to detail, and an aptitude for technology.
