An Accounts Payable Specialist is an accounting clerk who manages invoices and bills in a company or business.  Their role is to handle bookkeeping as well as be able to generate reports and transactions that auditors and accountants will use when filing tax returns or computing taxation.  Their responsibilities are managing and handling accounts payable transactions, analyzing workflow processes, establishing and maintaining relationships with new and existing vendors, ensuring bills and payroll are paid on time, processing due invoices for payments, comparing purchase orders, prices and other charges, processing transactions and performing accounting duties, recording entries, and reconciling books of accounts.

Accounting can expose you to unique businesses. Learn about the busy season and what a CPA license can do for you.

<h2><strong>Accounting Jobs</strong></h2><p>I'm an accountant for a family office. I started my career in public accounting. It does offer you a way to learn about different businesses and how they're run, which I thought was great at the start of my career.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><h2><strong>Interesting Experiences</strong></h2><p>I've had to do an inventory count in a gigantic warehouse freezer and dress for sub-zero temperatures. I had to do an audit for a learning center with river otters.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><h2><strong>Public Accounting Workload</strong></h2><p>Public accounting does have a busy season or multiple busy seasons. Usually from late January, early February to mid April, you will probably have to work longer hours, I'd say about 50 to 60 hours a week or six days a week. Most firms do offer overtime pay, so it is, they do make it worth your while when you're logging in the extra hours.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><h2><strong>Accounting Requirements</strong></h2><p>Most public accounting firms want their accountants to pursue a CPA license. The CPA exams are a series of exams that are fairly difficult. They do require studying, so that's another thing to consider. So usually on top of&nbsp; your workload and the hours that you're logging in at work, you'll have to think about when you're going to study for this exam.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><h2><strong>More Opportunity</strong></h2><p>Once you do get licensed, I do believe it does open a lot of doors. You could go to a private firm or work for a company depending on your interests and your experience.</p><p><br></p>
