Finance Operations Specialist

Supports treasury and accounts payable for the Kruger Family Industries entities. Owns the weekly and daily payables cycle in Net Suite and Navan: corporate card and travel expense processing, employee reimbursements, third-party freight bills, vendor payments, and the annual 1099 filing. Finance is building automation around repetitive processes so there are fewer hand-keyed tasks; this role runs and validates those automated workflows and helps identify the next processes to automate.

• Corporate card and reimbursement processing:
  Reviews corporate card expense reports in Navan, confirms receipts and manager approvals, and syncs approved charges to Net Suite. Processes card purchases made against purchase orders. Reviews employee personal card reimbursements and sends a weekly export to payroll, then records the bulk credit in Net Suite (Dayforce) to clear reimbursement bills.
• Freight bill processing (Technical Traffic):
  Codes weekly Technical Traffic freight bills by plant and direction, including GST/HST treatment. Runs the automated Net Suite bill upload, resolves exceptions, and confirms batch totals tie to the Technical Traffic file. Maintains the payments file, prepares the remittance file, and periodically reconciles the open freight balance with Technical Traffic's records.
• Vendor payments and cash:
  Prepares accounts payable requirements and payment pivots, analyzes amounts due, and submits payment recommendations for approval. Uploads approved payment and check data to the bank and completes processing of vendor invoices.
• Year-end 1099 reporting:
  Maintains 1099-eligible vendor flags in Net Suite throughout the year and verifies vendor data. Runs the Net Suite 1099 vendor report for Penda, Tri Enda, and KFI, then prepares and mails vendor copies and files with the State of Wisconsin and IRS by the January 31 deadline.
• Month-end and audit support:
  Supports month-end close, including reporting from various programs. Pulls and organizes accounts payable PBC documentation for the annual audit, including vendor invoices, bank remittances, and Navan transaction detail.
• Process automation:
  Uses the finance team's automation tools for recurring, rules-based work, such as the weekly Technical Traffic bill upload, in place of manual entry. Validates automated outputs by reviewing exceptions, confirming totals tie to source files, and spot-checking posted records. Identifies and documents repetitive processes that could be automated.
• Vendor master maintenance:
  Audits, reviews, and enters vendor records.
• Backup support:
  Provides backup coverage for invoice processing, bill of lading scanning, cash posting, customer master maintenance, and tracking of W-2 related expenses.
