Frequently Asked Questions: Accounts Payable Clerk Jobs in Dallas
What does an Accounts Payable Clerk do?
An Accounts Payable Clerk processes vendor invoices and supports the payables workflow. Typical duties include coding indirect invoices, entering direct invoices into the accounting system, routing invoices for approval, setting up vendor accounts in a vendor portal, reconciling vendor accounts and resolving discrepancies, maintaining AP files and payment records, and responding to vendor questions about invoices and payments. In this Dallas role the Clerk works closely with the Corporate AP team and enters direct invoices into Deltek Vantagepoint.
What is the difference between an AP Clerk and an AP Specialist?
An AP Clerk is the entry-level role in the payables function, focused on invoice processing, data entry, vendor account maintenance, and filing, generally with closer supervision and a narrower scope. An AP Specialist handles the broader payables process, often full cycle, owning the workflow end to end including payment runs, Positive Pay reporting, and accrued expense reconciliation, and works with meaningful autonomy. Three to five years of experience is the standard for Specialist-level roles in Dallas. Clerk roles are a common entry point into the AP career path.
What is Deltek Vantagepoint and do I need experience with it?
Deltek Vantagepoint is an ERP and project-based accounting platform used widely by engineering, architecture, and professional services firms to manage projects, invoicing, and financials. For this Dallas role, experience with Deltek Vantagepoint is a plus but not required. Candidates with accounts payable experience in another ERP and strong Microsoft Office skills are encouraged to apply, since the platform is learnable for an experienced AP professional.
Is this Accounts Payable Clerk role contract, contract-to-hire, or direct hire?
This posting is a contract-to-possible-hire role, meaning the candidate begins on contract through Frontline Source Group and the client may extend a permanent offer if the fit is right.

The client for this role separately offers Medical, Dental, Vision, and PTO. Frontline Source Group serves as employer of record on contract assignments, which means payroll, payroll taxes, workers compensation, and unemployment insurance are handled by the agency.
Can a contract AP Clerk role in Dallas lead to a permanent position?
Yes. This role is posted as contract to possible hire, and many Dallas employers use contract AP placements as an extended working interview before converting the person to a permanent employee. The client for this role is an engineering firm in business since 1970 and has indicated opportunity for growth. When a contract converts to a direct hire through Frontline Source Group, the placement is backed by the 5-Year Placement Warranty.
Do I need a degree to work as an Accounts Payable Clerk in Dallas?
No degree is listed as a requirement for this role. The posted requirements are prior experience in Accounts Payable or a related financial field, proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, and the Office Suite, strong 10-key typing skills, and strong attention to detail.

Does this Dallas role offer visa sponsorship?
No. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship. The client cannot sponsor any visas. This is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
Which Dallas industries hire the most Accounts Payable Clerks?
Engineering, architecture, and professional services firms generate steady AP Clerk demand because project-based billing creates high invoice volume, which is the case with this posting. Energy and oil and gas companies, healthcare systems, real estate and property management firms, distribution and logistics operations, and the large corporate headquarters across the metroplex also maintain AP departments that regularly need contract and permanent clerk-level support.
