Oversee scheduled disbursements across multiple payment methods, ensuring transactions are processed accurately, approved appropriately, and completed within established timelines.

Supervise the AP team's daily priorities, monitor workload distribution, and maintain service levels in a fast-paced environment.

Build and enforce strong controls around vendor setup, approval limits, and payment processing to protect data integrity and reduce risk.

Serve as the primary escalation point for vendor matters, resolving payment issues and supporting favorable terms and productive business relationships.

Manage employee reimbursement and corporate card reconciliation activities, ensuring policy compliance and timely processing.

Reconcile accounts payable records to the general ledger, investigate outstanding balances, and drive resolution of aging or unmatched items.

Lead payables-related month-end close tasks, including accrual preparation for items not yet billed or fully matched.

Coordinate compliance activities such as 1099 reporting, annual filing support, and audit documentation for internal and external review.

Partner with procurement, operations, and accounting teams to improve purchasing alignment, strengthen spend controls, and identify automation opportunities within AP processes. Requirements - Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline.

At least 5 years of progressive accounts payable experience, including leadership or supervisory responsibility.

Background managing high-volume invoice processing within a multi-entity, complex, or rapidly growing organization.

Hands-on experience with enterprise accounting platforms such as NetSuite, Oracle, or similar systems, along with strong Excel capabilities.

Familiarity with AP automation and expense or billing tools such as Bill.com, Ramp, or comparable applications.

Solid knowledge of accounts payable controls, disbursement practices, and general ledger reconciliation.

Experience supporting 1099 reporting, audit requests, and vendor invoice compliance matters such as sales or use tax is preferred.

Strong communication, vendor management, and problem-solving skills with the ability to work effectively across departments.
