  • Coordinate with Procurement, Receiving, Operations, Sales Operations, and Customer Service to resolve invoice, PO, receipt, billing, and payment discrepancies.

Process Improvement & Documentation
  • Lead accounts payable automation and related process-improvement initiatives, partnering with IT and Procurement to reduce manual processing and improve efficiency and controls.
  • Develop and maintain accounting operations SOPs, close checklists, reconciliation templates, and documentation standards.
  • Identify recurring accounting issues, manual workarounds, and process gaps, and recommend and implement practical improvements.
  • Work to improve close timelines, reconciliation quality, and reporting consistency across accounting operations.

Audit, Controls & Team Support
  • Support internal and external audit requests related to AP, AR, accruals, reconciliations, and close.
  • Operate within existing SOX and internal control requirements, and support control and process-improvement efforts as needed.
