About the Opportunity

Our client is seeking an Accounts Payable professional who thrives in a fast paced, high transaction environment. This position is ideal for someone who has worked within large organizations, is comfortable navigating sophisticated ERP systems, and understands the importance of strong internal controls and accuracy throughout the payment cycle. The right candidate will bring experience supporting month end close activities, working within established segregation of duties, and leveraging advanced Excel skills to analyze and reconcile large volumes of financial data. While the company operates on a large scale, the accounting team maintains a close knit, team oriented environment. The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys working alongside others, takes ownership of their responsibilities, and thrives in a collaborative setting.

What You'll Do

• Process a large volume of supplier invoices while maintaining a high level of accuracy and efficiency.
• Review, validate, and route invoices according to established approval workflows.
• Partner with internal departments and external vendors to resolve payment issues and account discrepancies.
• Support vendor maintenance, payment processing, and account reconciliations.
• Assist with month end close activities, including accruals, reconciliations, reporting, and account analysis.
• Process employee expense reimbursements and ensure compliance with company policies.
• Maintain accurate records and documentation to support auditing and reporting requirements.
• Follow established procedures that support segregation of duties and financial controls.
• Utilize Excel to organize, analyze, and reconcile data in support of accounting operations.

What We're Looking For

• Experience supporting a high volume accounts payable function within a large corporate or enterprise level environment.
• Strong knowledge of full cycle AP, including invoice processing, vendor payments, reconciliations, and month end close support.
• Hands on experience working within large scale ERP systems and navigating complex accounting environments.
• Solid understanding of internal controls, compliance requirements, and segregation of duties best practices.
• Advanced Excel skills, including Pivot Tables, VLOOKUPs, and data analysis for reporting and reconciliations.
• Ability to identify discrepancies, research issues, and provide timely resolution.
• Comfortable working as part of a small, collaborative accounting team while managing a significant workload independently.
• Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and commitment to accuracy.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to build positive relationships across departments and with external vendors.
