Ready for More Than Just Another AP Job?
PrideStaff has been exclusively retained to recruit an Accounts Payable / Office Specialist for an established industry leader in the specialized commercial and residential construction and contracting space based in Lake Park, FL.
This isn’t a run-of-the-mill, head-down data entry role. You will work side-by-side with senior leadership, playing a critical part in day-to-day financial workflows, vendor relations, and operational coordination. Best of all: this role is designed with a clear long-term succession path. As key management plans for eventual retirement, the right person will have the runway, hands-on mentorship, and opportunity to grow into comprehensive office and business leadership.
What You’ll Be Doing
Accounts Payable: Manage full-cycle vendor and subcontractor invoicing, verify purchase orders/packing slips, and prepare check runs.
Project Documentation: Coordinate Notices to Owner (NTOs), lien releases, change orders, and job-cost documentation.
Compliance: Track and verify subcontractor certificates of insurance (COIs) and licensing.
Billing & AR Cross-Training: Assist with billing workflows with planned cross-training into Accounts Receivable and basic collection tracking.
Systems & Portals: Maintain accurate Excel logs and utilize industry-specific portal systems ( full training provided—no prior roofing/specialty software experience needed ).
Ad-Hoc Operational Support: Partner with ownership and department heads to solve problems on the fly. (Note: This position carries zero routine receptionist or front-desk phone responsibilities.)
Who Excels in This Environment?
Core Accounting Skills: Proven experience in Accounts Payable, billing, or general office accounting. Prior construction or subcontracting experience is a plus, but not required.
Solid Excel Skills: Proficient with cell formatting, formulas, and general data management (no pivot tables required).
A Real, Down-to-Earth Mindset: This is an active, candid, fast-moving construction office—not a corporate, PC bubble. A thick skin, a great sense of humor, and practical problem-solving go a long way here.
Adaptability: You thrive in an environment where priorities can shift quickly and you can pivot without losing your cool.
Local Commute: Candidates residing within a convenient commuting distance to the Lake Park area are strongly preferred.
What’s In It for You?
Competitive Pay: $25.00 – $28.00/hr to start, paid weekly during the trial period.
Medical Coverage: Blue Cross Blue Shield medical plan with 50% company contribution upon permanent conversion.
Vision Care: Company-sponsored vision benefits.
Paid Holidays: Generous holiday calendar including New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Day after Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
Paid Time Off: Paid sick leave and accrued vacation milestones.
Career Future: A stable, high-trust environment offering true career longevity and an opportunity to step into executive office management down the road.
