Prepare and execute check runs and assist with ACH-related payment activity in accordance with established procedures.

Support the team by helping clear an existing backlog of payable items and maintaining steady processing throughout the assignment.

Work collaboratively with a small accounting group while taking over day-to-day AP tasks that were reassigned during an internal role transition. Requirements - Previous hands-on experience in accounts payable, including invoice processing in a high-volume environment.
