Job description
What you'll do
• Lead, coach, and develop a team of four AP and T&E professionals, including goal setting, performance reviews, and workload planning.
• Own the AP cycle end to end: invoice intake and coding, three-way match, approvals, payment runs, and vendor inquiries.
• Manage AP workflows in Coupa, card and spend activity in Brex, and posting and reconciliation in NetSuite. Make sure data flows cleanly between them.
• Deliver AP accruals, subledger-to-GL reconciliations, and aging reviews on the close calendar.
• Maintain internal controls over disbursements, including segregation of duties, approval limits, vendor master changes, and duplicate payment checks. Support internal and external audit requests.
• Oversee 1099 and tax reporting, plus sales and use tax and VAT treatment on vendor invoices across jurisdictions.
• Work with Procurement, Treasury, Accounting, and department budget owners to resolve invoice and payment issues quickly.
• Track AP metrics such as days payable, invoice cycle time, early-pay capture, and exception rates. Use them to find process fixes.
• Document procedures and drive automation improvements as the company and its vendor base grow.
What you bring
• Demonstrated experience leading an AP team.
• Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field is a plus.
• 5+ years of AP experience, including 2+ years managing or leading AP staff, preferred.
• Hands-on experience with Coupa and NetSuite. Experience with Brex or a comparable corporate card platform is strongly preferred.
• Solid understanding of month-end close, accruals, and AP controls in a public or audit-ready environment.
• Experience with global, multi-entity, multi-currency payables, including foreign currency invoices, international payment methods, and VAT and other statutory requirements across jurisdictions.
• Strong Excel skills and comfort with reporting and reconciliation.
• Clear communication, and the judgment to know when to fix a problem yourself and when to escalate.
Nice to have
• Experience with SOX controls or a similar compliance framework.
• Experience supporting an AP team through a system migration or process redesign.
