The Role

Support month-end close activities, including AP accruals, GR/IR review and cleanup, reconciliations, and supporting schedules.
Maintain clear, audit-ready documentation and provide support for internal and external audit requests.

Systems & Process Improvement

Support implementation of new AP systems, automation, workflows, and process improvements.
Help maintain AP procedures, SOPs, templates, and other process documentation.
Who You Are
Knowledgeable in PO-based AP processes, three-way match, invoice coding, vendor management, and payment processing.
Detail-oriented and controls-minded, with strong judgment around payments and confidential vendor information.
Proactive and persistent — you follow issues through to resolution and don't let items sit in limbo.
Process-minded and interested in finding better, more efficient ways to work.
A clear, service-oriented communicator who works effectively across Finance, Procurement, Purchasing, and other business teams.
Organized and comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.
