Role overview

What does an Accounts Payable Specialist do?

Missed payments and invoice errors erode vendor trust and eat into your margins. Marco's Accounts Payable Specialists manage the full AP cycle—from invoice receipt and three-way matching to payment processing and vendor reconciliation. They ensure every dollar is tracked, every discount captured, and every payment compliant with your internal controls.

What does a remote accounts payable specialist do? They process vendor invoices, perform three-way matching of purchase orders, receipts, and invoices, manage payment runs via ACH, wire transfer, and check, reconcile vendor statements, track early payment discounts, and prepare AP aging reports. They work in accounting platforms like QuickBooks, NetSuite, Xero, and Bill.com. A remote AP specialist costs $800–$1,200/month through Marco versus $4,500/month for a U.S.-based hire.
