Currently, we are seeking a Senior Accounts Payable Specialist with strong English communication skills to join a U.S. company's accounting team as a dedicated, hands-on contributor.

Location: Remote LATAM

What you will be doing:

You will work directly with the client's accounting team to process a growing volume of vendor invoices and support the full accounts payable cycle. This is a hands-on senior role, with direct involvement in invoice review, approval workflows, coding, payments, vendor records, reconciliations, and month-end close. You will coordinate with U.S. business owners and vendors and maintain accurate documentation and controls.

The team currently processes invoices primarily in Bill.com and expects to transition to SAP S/4HANA in 2027. You will help sustain day-to-day AP operations while the existing team supports that transition. Prior SAP S/4HANA experience is valuable, but the team can train a strong AP professional on its systems.

• 5+ years of hands-on accounts payable experience, including ownership of a high-volume invoice and payment process.
• Significant experience supporting U.S.-based companies and working directly with U.S. employees and vendors.

• Ability to review purchase orders, goods receipts, and approvals and perform invoice matching accurately.
• Experience preparing AP accruals and reconciliations and supporting month-end close.
• Working knowledge of W-8/W-9 documentation, 1099 reporting, audit support, and AP controls.
• Experience using an ERP or AP platform and the ability to learn new finance systems quickly.

Nice to Have Skills :

• Experience in a public company or a SOX controlled accounting environment.
• Hands-on experience with SAP S/4HANA, particularly accounts payable or procurement workflows.
• Experience with Bill.com or a comparable invoice processing platform.
• Experience with Brex, Concur, or similar corporate card and expense tools.
• Experience supporting an ERP or procure-to-pay implementation or process transition.

Soft Skills :

• Strong attention to detail and sound judgment when handling invoices, payment information, and supporting records.
• Strong written and spoken English for direct communication with U.S. stakeholders.
• Ability to work independently as an integrated member of the accounting team and provide meaningful overlap with Pacific Time business hours.
