What Employers Look For

The qualifications that appear most often in accounts payable assistant jobs.

  • 1-2 years of accounts payable or general accounting experience preferred
  • Proficiency in ERP or accounting software such as SAP, Oracle, or QuickBooks
  • Associate or bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field
  • Ability to process high invoice volumes accurately and meet payment deadlines
  • Strong data-entry skills with attention to detail and low error tolerance
  • Familiarity with three-way matching, purchase orders, and vendor reconciliation

Tips for Your Accounts Payable Assistant Job Search

Tailor your resume to ERP systems

Hiring managers scan for specific software names like SAP, Oracle, QuickBooks, and NetSuite. List every ERP or accounting platform you've used, even briefly, because automated screening filters often reject resumes that don't name the system the employer uses.

Quantify your invoice volume experience

Generic phrases like 'processed invoices' don't stand out. State the weekly or monthly volume you handled, the number of vendors in your portfolio, and any error-rate improvements you achieved. Accounts payable hiring managers respond to throughput numbers more than job duty descriptions.

Apply early to roles that fit

Migrate Mate lists accounts payable assistant openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.

Filter for industry-specific AP experience

AP workflows differ significantly between healthcare, construction, and retail. When searching, narrow by industry to find roles where your experience with industry-specific billing cycles, purchase orders, or compliance requirements actually matches what the employer needs.

Prepare for a practical skills test

Many accounts payable interviews include a live data-entry exercise or a mock three-way match scenario. Practice reconciling a vendor statement against a purchase order and invoice before your interview so the task feels routine rather than stressful under pressure.

Negotiate start date around month-end close

AP teams are stretched hardest during month-end and year-end close cycles. If you receive an offer, propose a start date that lands after the next close period. Employers appreciate the awareness, and you'll have more onboarding bandwidth from your manager and teammates.

Accounts Payable Assistant Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

Which companies are hiring the most accounts payable assistants?

The companies hiring the most accounts payable assistants right now include Kahana & Feld LLP, Jobot, and ghj, with the largest share of openings in California, Texas, and New York, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Healthcare systems, national retailers, and logistics companies tend to maintain steady AP hiring throughout the year.

How many accounts payable assistant jobs are remote?

About 54% of accounts payable assistant openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with fully on-site roles still common in industries that handle physical invoices, checks, or regulated vendor documents. Sub-functions like invoice coding, vendor communication, and payment processing are most likely to be approved for remote work arrangements.

How do you become an accounts payable assistant?

Start by earning an associate or bachelor's degree in accounting or finance, or complete a bookkeeping certificate program if you want to enter sooner. Build hands-on familiarity with at least one ERP or accounting platform through coursework, internships, or volunteer bookkeeping. Apply to entry-level AP clerk or accounting assistant roles to build your invoice-processing and vendor-management experience before moving into a dedicated accounts payable assistant position.

Can you get an accounts payable assistant job with little experience?

Yes, many employers hire accounts payable assistants with limited direct experience if you can demonstrate strong data-entry accuracy, basic accounting knowledge, and familiarity with spreadsheet software. Internships, part-time bookkeeping work, or even volunteer roles managing expense records for a nonprofit can substitute for formal AP experience when you're applying to entry-level openings.

What does the accounts payable assistant interview process look like?

Most accounts payable assistant interviews include an initial phone or video screen focused on your software experience and volume capacity, followed by an in-person or virtual panel with the AP supervisor and a finance manager. Many employers also include a short practical exercise such as matching invoices to purchase orders or identifying a discrepancy in a vendor statement. References are typically checked before an offer is extended.

Where can I find and apply to accounts payable assistant jobs?

You can find and apply to accounts payable assistant jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience, software background, and preferred location, then apply directly to each one that fits your situation.
