• Perform detailed three-way matching for inventory purchases, including transactions that require manual reconciliation.

• Apply correct account coding to invoices and confirm expenses are recorded in the appropriate categories.

• Support check run activities and help maintain an organized payment schedule for vendors.

• Use accounting systems and AP tools to enter, track, and validate invoice activity.

• Partner with the accounting team to identify opportunities for process improvement, including workflow streamlining and greater automation.

• Capture operational knowledge during onboarding to help maintain continuity and support day-to-day AP operations.

• Proven experience in accounts payable within a high-volume or deadline-driven environment.

• Strong background in invoice coding, account classification, and payment processing.

• Ability to manage manual matching work, including three-way match for inventory-related purchases.

• Understanding of manufacturing environments, including unit-of-measure or conversion considerations tied to purchased materials.

• Experience with AP or ERP systems.

• Comfortable working onsite and collaborating closely with an established accounting team.

• Strong attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and follow-up skills when addressing discrepancies
