  • Monitor invoice data ingestion and system workflows to ensure accurate expense

    classification and reporting.

  • Drive process improvements and automation initiatives to increase efficiency, strengthen

    controls, and support scalable AP operations.

  • Supervise and develop AP team members, including workload prioritization, training, and

    performance support.

  • Prepare and deliver reporting on AP metrics such as processing timelines, aging trends,

    and cost variances.

  • Assist with tax documentation and compliance requirements related to vendor payments,

    including annual 1099 processes.

  • Support ad hoc finance projects and operational initiatives as needed.

You have many of the following:
