- Complete monthly reconciliations for accounts payable, the general ledger, and bank activity, and assist with period-end close tasks.

- Provide documentation and transaction support during audit reviews, while also assisting with clerical finance duties and cross-coverage for accounts receivable when needed. Requirements - At least 3 years of hands-on accounts payable experience in an accounting or finance environment with strong attention to detail.

- Demonstrated ability to code invoices, enter vouchers, and process payments with a high degree of accuracy.

- Experience working with three-way match procedures and non-PO invoice processing.

- Proficiency with SAP or a comparable ERP system used for accounts payable transactions.
