Dynamic, diverse, and fun-loving corporate culture. Great accounting & finance leaders to learn from. Complex and interesting business. Excellent opportunity for long-term career growth.

Who- the Companies:
This is truly a “best of both worlds” scenario- the excitement and fast-pace that comes with building in a start-up type environment, along with the stability, resources, and strategic vision that comes from working for a well-established and successful global company.

SWIM Recruiting is partnering with our client to find an Accounts Payable Administratorto join their Accounting Team on an initial 3 month contract role with a good chance of converting to permanent based on performance and business needs.

• Monitoring AP inboxes and responding to stakeholder inquiries
• Reconciling vendor statements and resolving discrepancies
• Maintaining AP records and collaborating with the team to streamline processes
