Financial Payment Accuracy and Recovery Analyst III
- The Payment Accuracy and Recovery Analyst is responsible for ensuring that vendor and service provider invoices are paid accurately and in strict accordance with contractual terms.
- This role combines strong financial analytics capabilities with deep contract comprehension to evaluate historical and current payments, identify overpayments or improper charges, and determine liability ownership.
- The position plays a critical role in protecting company financial integrity by recovering funds where payments should not have occurred and by designing sustainable process improvements to prevent future invoice inaccuracies.
- This role operates at the intersection of Finance, Commercial Business Development, Legal/Contracts, Commercial and Operations, Business Improvement, and Accounts Payable, serving as a subject matter expert in invoice accuracy, contract compliance, and payment risk mitigation.
Job Responsibilities
- Perform post payment invoice audits by validating charges against contracts, rate sheets, service agreements, amendments, and commercial terms to ensure billing accuracy and compliance.
- Analyze complex financial data to identify payment issues and liability including duplicate payments, incorrect rates, unauthorized charges, billing errors, and determining appropriate ownership of invoice responsibility.
- Quantify and report financial impact by documenting overpayments, recovery opportunities, and exposure, and preparing clear audit summaries, recovery justifications, and executive level reporting with recommended actions.
- Analyze and remediate payment errors by identifying process breakdowns, control gaps, system or master data issues, and conducting root cause analysis to determine underlying drivers of invoice inaccuracies.
- Design and implement preventative solutions including improved processes, controls, validations, and system or automation enhancements to eliminate recurring payment errors.
- Institutionalize best practices by partnering cross functionally (Finance, AP, IT, Operations) to deploy standard work, SOPs, playbooks, and training materials that ensure sustained compliance and accuracy.
- Proactively identify emerging risks related to vendor billing practices and contract execution.
- Lead overpayment recovery efforts by coordinating with vendors, suppliers, and internal stakeholders, and preparing formal recovery claims, credits, offsets, and dispute documentation.
- Manage and track recovery performance by monitoring progress, aging, success rates, and financial outcomes through resolution and closure.
- Support dispute resolution and negotiations by escalating unresolved issues as needed and providing fact based financial and contractual analysis to drive recovery.
- Translate contract terms into clear, auditable payment rules and decision frameworks for use by Accounts Payable and operational teams.
- Ensure contract standards are consistently applied across vendors and business units.
Required Skill Set:
- Bachelor's degree in finance, Accounting, or Business
- Legally authorized to work in the job posting country
- 5+ years of experience in financial analysis, invoice auditing, recovery analytics, or payment integrity roles
- Advanced financial analysis skills with strong attention to detail and accuracy.
- Experience working with ERP systems (e.g., SAP) and invoice processing platforms.
- Ability to translate complex contractual language into clear financial and operational rules.
Preferred Skill Set:
- Railroad acumen, invoicing, and processing understanding.
- Proven ability to work with large, complex data sets to identify trends, anomalies, and recovery opportunities.
- Demonstrated experience reviewing and interpreting commercial contracts and applying them to financial transactions.
- Strong proficiency in Excel (advanced formulas, pivot tables, data modeling); experience with BI tools (Power BI, Tableau) preferred.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain complex financial and contractual issues to non technical stakeholders.
- Proven ability to influence cross functional teams without direct authority.
- Strong documentation and storytelling skills for audit, recovery, and executive reporting
