  • Manage and lead day-to-day accounts payable activities, including invoice intake, coding, three-way matching where applicable, approval routing, exception resolution, and preparation of payment batches.
  • Ensure the maintenance of accurate vendor records and supporting documentation; coordinate vendor setup and changes using established controls and validation procedures.
  • Respond to vendor and internal inquiries, independently research discrepancies, and resolve duplicate invoices, pricing differences, missing approvals, and payment-status questions.

  • Prepare timely bank and cash account reconciliations; investigate and clear reconciling items and communicate outstanding matters to the Assistant Controller.
  • Participate in month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close activities, including AP cut-off, accrual support, account reconciliations, journal entry support, and preparation of audit-ready documentation.
  • Reconcile vendor statements and AP subledger activity to the general ledger; identify unusual or erroneous transactions and work with the appropriate parties to correct them.
  • Assist with cash forecasting by maintaining visibility into scheduled payments, open commitments, and near-term cash requirements.
  • Maintain organized electronic records and support internal controls, process walkthroughs, audits, and compliance requests related to procurement, payables, and cash.
  • Identify opportunities to streamline workflows, strengthen controls, improve data quality, and increase efficiency across procure-to-pay and cash processes.
  • Provide cross-functional support and complete ad hoc Finance & Accounting projects as requested which may include payroll preparation.

    • Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, Supply Chain, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.

  • Hands-on experience with purchase orders, invoice processing, payment execution, vendor management, and bank reconciliations.
  • Solid understanding of accounting fundamentals, transaction coding, account reconciliations, cut-off, accruals, and internal controls.
  • Experience working with an ERP, procure-to-pay platform, banking portals, and Microsoft Excel; ability to learn new systems quickly.
  • Strong attention to detail, sound judgment, and a consistent commitment to accuracy, confidentiality, and complete supporting documentation.
  • Excellent organization and prioritization skills, with the ability to manage recurring deadlines and a high volume of transactions.
  • Clear, professional communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with vendors, budget owners, and cross-functional partners.
