Accounts Payable Specialist

At Signature Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical, our mission is simple: raise the standard for home service in New Mexico. We serve families across the Albuquerque area, and we’re proud of the culture we call Heart + Smart, built on doing what we say and standing behind our work. Now we’re focused on growth, with a plan to become a $40 to $60 million company. That kind of growth depends on accurate, reliable financials behind the scenes, and it creates real room for the people on our team to grow along with us. That’s where you come in.

This is a full time role, and it is not a data entry role. We need someone who does more than pay invoices. We need someone who reads them, questions them, and catches what others miss. If a price doesn’t match the PO, a vendor bills twice, a credit memo never shows up, or a number just doesn’t look right, you’re the person who notices and gets it fixed before it costs us money. Reporting to our Controller, you’ll process and verify invoices, assign expenses to the right departments and cost centers, work with vendors to resolve past due balances, reconcile monthly statements, and help keep our books clean and audit ready.
