We're seeking an on site Accounts Payable Administrator who takes pride in organization, accuracy, accountability, and helping keep our business running smoothly behind the scenes.

• Coordinate with internal departments to ensure vendor compliance requirements are met before payment, when applicable.
• Process employee expense reimbursements and reconcile company credit card statements.
• Assist with month-end closing activities, AP reconciliations, and financial reporting.
• Prepare documentation for year-end audits and assist with annual 1099 reporting.
• Maintain organized electronic and physical accounts payable records.
• Ensure compliance with company policies, accounting procedures, and internal controls.
• Collaborate with Purchasing, Service, Sales, Operations, and Accounting to resolve invoice, vendor, and payment issues.
