Reconcile AP-related balances, including subledger and general ledger accounts, vendor statements, accrued liabilities, and cash clearing activity.

Manage prepaid expense and companywide accrual entries, along with supporting reconciliations and other month-end close deliverables tied to accounts payable.

Lead annual 1099 preparation, respond to audit requests, and partner with cross-functional teams to resolve invoice and receiving discrepancies.

Drive process improvements, workflow enhancements, and automation efforts while serving as the primary escalation point for complex supplier or payment issues. Requirements - Demonstrated experience leading accounts payable operations in a high-volume environment, preferably within manufacturing or aerospace.

Strong knowledge of invoice coding, three-way matching, payment processing, and AP month-end close procedures.

Hands-on ability to manage ACH, check, and wire transactions with a high degree of accuracy and control awareness.

Experience supervising or mentoring AP staff and balancing leadership duties with individual processing responsibilities.

Working knowledge of vendor maintenance, fraud prevention practices, and approval workflow compliance.

Solid reconciliation and journal entry skills, including support for accruals, prepaids, and 1099 reporting.
