* Use AI tools to improve the efficiency and accuracy of invoice processing, reconciliation workflows, vendor communication, and reporting tasks
* Prepare and execute payment runs including checks, ACH, and wire transfers in a timely and accurate manner

* Support the accounting team with special projects, audits, and reporting needs as assigned
** What Sets You Apart

* Strong knowledge of accounts payable processes and core accounting principles, including GAAP
* Proficiency in accounting software such as Quick Books, SAP, or Oracle, and strong working knowledge of Microsoft Excel
* Exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills — you catch errors before they become problems and maintain records that others can rely on

* Measurable impact such as improved processing accuracy, reduced cycle times, or increased capacity to manage transaction volume
