Accounts Payable Specialist

LaSalle Network is hiring an Accounts Payable Specialist for an immediate contract opportunity with a leading global trading and financial services organization in downtown Chicago. Following a recent Oracle implementation, the accounting team is navigating parallel processing, organizational changes and increased transaction volume. As a result, they are seeking an experienced Accounts Payable Specialist who can step in quickly, make an immediate impact and thrive in a fast-paced environment.

This is not a traditional invoice-processing role. The ideal Accounts Payable Specialist will bring strong accounting judgment, understand how accounts payable impacts the general ledger and feel comfortable working within a complex, multi-entity, multi-currency environment. Strong performers may have the opportunity to extend beyond the initial contract term.

• Work within Oracle ERP while supporting ongoing transition activities

• Ensure compliance with internal controls and accounting policies

• Collaborate with accounting leadership to maintain accurate financial reporting

• Support AP operations in a global, multi-currency environment

• 2-3+ years of experience as an Accounts Payable Specialist or in a similar accounting-focused AP role

• Experience working in a global, multi-currency environment

• Understanding of journal entries, reconciliations and AP-to-GL processes

• ERP experience required; Oracle experience strongly preferred

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance or related field preferred

• Ability to work independently with minimal training or ramp-up time
