• Examine invoices for coding accuracy, authorization, and policy compliance before releasing payments.
• Track upcoming disbursements and share projected cash requirements with the finance team to support funding decisions and payment planning.
• Maintain complete, organized, and audit-ready accounts payable documentation and vendor files.
• Work with internal partners to resolve invoice, approval, and payment issues while keeping workflows efficient and detail-focused.
• Prepare supporting schedules and documentation for financial reporting, tax-related requests, and management review, and contribute to process or system improvements as needed.
• At least 3-5 years of progressively responsible accounting experience.
• Bachelors degree in accounting, economics, business, finance or related field.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including strong ability to work with formulas, reconciliations, and financial data analysis.
• Practical knowledge of AP automation tools and invoice approval workflows, including exception handling and approval routing.
• Solid foundation in accounts payable procedures, general ledger activity, journal entries, and month-end close support.
• Experience reconciling bank, credit card, and balance sheet accounts with close attention to timing and accuracy.
• Demonstrated ability to protect confidential information, exercise sound judgment, and communicate effectively with vendors and internal stakeholders
