About the Opportunity

Our client is seeking an AP Consultant to provide hands-on Accounts Payable support during a period of business transition, including an upcoming acquisition and a near-term leadership change. Reporting into the hiring team supporting Finance, you’ll inherit the current AP process and keep day-to-day operations running smoothly while ensuring suppliers are paid accurately and on time in a high-volume environment (approximately 480–500 invoices/month).

This is an on-site role based in Vaughan (Weston & Rutherford area), ideal for someone who can quickly step in, work confidently within Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, and bring a mix of execution and process improvement. For a more senior consultant, there’s an opportunity to identify efficiencies/automation and help shape a more scalable AP approach before handoff to incoming leadership.

Key Responsibilities

• Take ownership of day-to-day Accounts Payable processing and maintain continuity of the current workflow
• Process a high monthly invoice volume (approx. 480–500 invoices/month) in a manufacturing setting
• Perform 3-way matching (invoice, packing slip/receipt, and PO), with POs maintained in the ERP
• Work within Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (ERP implemented earlier this year)
• Support supplier needs by ensuring timely, accurate processing and issue resolution
• Identify gaps in manual AP workflows and (where appropriate) propose process improvements and efficiency opportunities
• For senior resources: contribute to AP automation and scalability initiatives (e.g., shared services-style thinking)
• Maintain organization of AP documentation and support clean handoff to the incoming permanent leader/resource

What You Bring

• Proven experience in Accounts Payable with the ability to independently run full-cycle AP day to day
• Experience supporting AP in a high-volume environment (manufacturing experience strongly preferred based on invoice flow and 3-way matching)
• Strong working knowledge of 3-way matching and PO-based invoice processing
• Experience using an ERP—Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central experience is a strong asset
• Comfortable working in a manual-process environment and improving it pragmatically without overengineering
• Ability to work on-site 5 days/week in Vaughan (Weston & Rutherford / Weston & Hwy 7 area)
• Availability to start May 22 or May 25 (preferred)
• Strong attention to detail and a service mindset to ensure supplier requirements are met
• Able to balance pace, accuracy, and cost sensitivity in decision-making and recommendations
