Research duplicate billings, unapplied cash, credit balances, and other account discrepancies, then take corrective action as needed.

Reconcile vendor statements and account activity using available tools such as Excel to support accurate balances, accruals, and disbursements.

Support vendor maintenance and payment administration by collecting required documentation, preserving records for 1099 reporting, and issuing payments in line with financial policies. Requirements - At least 2 years of experience in accounts payable, preferably in a high-volume environment; a bachelor's degree is preferred, or equivalent extensive payables and accounting experience may be considered.

Strong background handling purchase orders and resolving three-way match discrepancies.

Ability to communicate effectively with internal stakeholders, buyers, suppliers, and vendor accounts receivable teams to clear payment and receiving issues.

Proficiency with spreadsheets and databases, including practical Excel skills for reconciliations and account analysis.
