Accounts payable specialist and accounts receivable specialist sound like they should be similar roles. In terms of the basic paperwork and function, they are quite alike. An accounts payable specialist manages paying bills that are due, while the accounts receivable specialist collects money that is owed. The real significant difference is that paying bills is a lot easier than collecting money from people who owe, so accounts receivable quickly turns into a role of debt collection. It's not a bad entry-level position to get started in the finance, though.
