Investigate and resolve discrepancies such as missing invoices, incorrect amounts, duplicate payments, and timing differences, and document findings and resolutions.
Run and analyze accounts payable reports to monitor outstanding items, track progress on clean-up efforts, and support decision-making.
Process vendor vouchers and assist with processing vendor payments, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and adherence to company policies and procedures.
Resolve match exceptions by reviewing purchase orders, receipts, and invoices and working with internal teams to correct any issues.
Communicate promptly and professionally with vendors, responding to inquiries, providing status updates, and maintaining positive relationships.

Hands-on accounts payable experience with purchase orders, vouchers, and match exceptions.
Proven experience with high-volume reconciliation of vendor accounts and accounts payable ledgers.
