- Assist with limited corporate card activities, including receipt review and job-cost coding.
- Support check processing and other payment-related functions.
- Reconcile vendor statements and research outstanding balances.
- Assist with month-end close activities and accounting reconciliations.
- Utilize AI and technology tools to support, refine, and automate accounting workflows.
- Help test and improve automated processes to increase efficiency and reduce manual work.
- Identify process gaps and recommend new approaches or solutions.
- Work collaboratively with accounting and project teams to resolve complex AP matters.
Qualifications:

- Ability to identify discrepancies and understand the underlying cause of an issue.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
- Highly organized with the ability to manage a substantial workload accurately.
- Self-directed and comfortable taking initiative without needing step-by-step direction.
- Creative and forward-thinking approach to process improvement.
