Job Description

LaSalle Network is hiring an Accounts Payable Specialist for an immediate contract opportunity with a leading global trading and financial services organization in downtown Chicago. Following a recent Oracle implementation, the accounting team is navigating parallel processing, organizational changes and increased transaction volume. As a result, they are seeking an experienced Accounts Payable Specialist who can step in quickly, make an immediate impact and thrive in a fast-paced environment.

This is not a traditional invoice-processing role. The ideal Accounts Payable Specialist will bring strong accounting judgment, understand how accounts payable impacts the general ledger and feel comfortable working within a complex, multi-entity, multi-currency environment. Strong performers may have the opportunity to extend beyond the initial contract term.

What's the job?
  • Process and review high-volume accounts payable transactions, averaging approximately 1,000 invoices per month

  • Manage invoice approvals, coding and payment processing across multiple entities

  • Support journal entries and account reconciliations related to AP activity

  • Investigate and resolve invoice discrepancies and payment issues

  • Work within Oracle ERP while supporting ongoing transition activities

  • Ensure compliance with internal controls and accounting policies

  • Collaborate with accounting leadership to maintain accurate financial reporting

  • Support AP operations in a global, multi-currency environment


What's needed?

  • 2-3+ years of experience as an Accounts Payable Specialist or in a similar accounting-focused AP role

  • Experience working in a global, multi-currency environment

  • Understanding of journal entries, reconciliations and AP-to-GL processes

  • ERP experience required; Oracle experience strongly preferred

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance or related field preferred

  • Ability to work independently with minimal training or ramp-up time

  • Strong attention to detail, organizational skills and accounting judgment

  • Financial services or similarly complex industry experience is highly preferred


What's in it for me?

  • $30-$35/hour compensation

  • LaSalle Network consultants are eligible to enroll in benefits. For details, visit  

  • Exposure to a sophisticated global accounting and finance organization

  • Direct interaction with senior accounting leadership

  • Opportunity to gain Oracle ERP experience during a major transformation

  • Potential for contract extension based on performance

  • Free breakfast and lunch provided onsite daily


Key Details

  • Compensation: $30-$35/hour

  • Benefits: LaSalle Network consultants are eligible to enroll in benefits. For details, visit  

  • Location: Chicago, IL

  • Work Model: Fully onsite, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
