Position Overview

The Accounts Payable Clerk is responsible for vendor setup and maintenance and for entering vendor invoices in NetSuite. This position owns the front end of the payables process: collecting and verifying vendor documentation, coding invoices to the correct account, branch, and job, matching invoices against purchase orders and receiving records, and resolving discrepancies so invoices are complete and ready for approval.

This position does not process, release, or issue payments. Payment release is performed by separate authorized personnel.

Essential Functions

Vendor Setup and Maintenance

• Collect and track vendor certificates of insurance and lien waivers, and flag vendors with missing or expired documentation.

Invoice Entry and Coding

• Enter vendor invoices into NetSuite accurately and within established turnaround times.
• Code each invoice to the correct general ledger account, department, branch, and job or project.
• Match invoices to purchase orders and receiving documentation, and research price, quantity, and receipt discrepancies with purchasing, the warehouse, or the vendor.
• Route invoices for approval under the company's approval authority matrix and follow up on invoices pending approval so payment terms are not missed.
• Apply the correct sales and use tax treatment based on company procedure and the taxing jurisdiction of the job site.

Reconciliation, Reporting, and Close

• Reconcile assigned vendor statements and research and clear open items, credits, and duplicate billings.
• Respond to vendor and internal inquiries regarding invoice status.
• Support month-end and year-end close, including accruals for received but unvouchered goods and accounts payable aging reporting.
• Support annual IRS Form 1099 preparation.

Records, Compliance, and Controls

• Maintain complete, organized, and auditable accounts payable records under the company's record retention policy, and provide documentation requested by internal or external auditors.
• Follow all internal control procedures applicable to accounts payable.
• Promptly report suspected duplicate invoices, fraudulent invoices, or vendor impersonation attempts to the Controller.
