Accounts Payable Ownership and Operations
• Own the end-to-end accounts payable process, including invoice intake, coding, approvals, processing, payment execution, reconciliation, and issue resolution.

Working Capital and Payment Management
• Manage the weekly vendor payment run process with clear attention to working capital discipline, payment timing, cash flow priorities, contractual due dates, and vendor terms.
• Prioritize payments based on business criticality, discount opportunities, contractual commitments, and available cash, rather than routine execution alone.
• Maintain accurate payment support and summaries for payments processed through vendor portals or other external platforms.
• Process refunds and other non-routine disbursements, as needed, with appropriate review and documentation.
• Reconcile credit card activity, prepare supporting schedules, and coordinate funding or replenishment activities as required.

• Perform vendor reconciliations, resolve discrepancies in a timely manner, and lead resolution of vendor inquiries or disputes related to invoices, credits, and payments.
• Maintain accurate vendor records and identify potential duplicate invoices, missing invoices, unusual items, or fraud risk indicators for prompt follow-up.
• Review recurring and special invoices submitted through vendor websites and portals and ensure proper support is retained.
Controls, Close and Audit Support
• Enforce approval workflows and internal controls across the AP process and ensure transactions are processed in accordance with company policy and delegated authority requirements.
• Support month-end close by preparing AP-related balance sheet reconciliations and month-end schedules, including prepaid expenses, accruals, fixed assets, and other assigned accounts.
• Coordinate with accounting on period-end accruals, invoice cutoff, and completeness procedures to support accurate expense recognition and financial reporting.
• Maintain audit-ready support and documentation for AP transactions, reconciliations, payment activity, and vendor files.
• Support external audits, diligence requests, and internal reviews by providing AP schedules, reconciliations, and requested documentation on a timely basis.
Systems Administration and Optimization
• Administer Bill.com, including vendor setup, banking updates, payment monitoring, direct deposit invitations, issue resolution and control maintenance.
• Administer SAP Concur, including employee setup, workflow updates, user support, and troubleshooting.
• Monitor AP system activity and identify sync issues, data exceptions, or processing errors for timely resolution.
• Continuously improve AP workflows, controls, and automation opportunities across Bill.com, SAP Concur, and related processes to enhance efficiency, visibility, and compliance.
Qualifications
• Bachelor’s in Accounting, Finance, or a related field preferred; equivalent professional experience will be considered.
• 4–5 years of progressive experience in accounts payable, invoice processing, vendor management, and account reconciliations.
• Strong understanding of AP subledger management, three-way match concepts, invoice approval workflows, vendor payment processing, and period-end cutoff.
