Job description

About Us

At 4AG Robotics, we build robots that harvest mushrooms-and we’re growing fast. Our team thrives at the intersection of agriculture and automation, combining hands-on grit with cutting-edge technology. If you’re energized by solving real-world problems, owning your work, and using AI to do things better and faster, this is your kind of place.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for an Accounts Payable & Automation Specialist- someone who wants more than just pushing paper. This is your chance to own and optimize the AP process end to end, using modern finance tools and AI-powered systems to remove friction, reduce errors, and speed up execution. You’ll be part of a high-trust, high-speed team focused on building the financial systems that support 4AG’s mission.

What You’ll Do

• Own the Full AP Cycle: From invoice capture to payment, you run the process.
• Automate the Busywork: Leverage tools like OCR, NetSuite, and Coupa to reduce manual entry and repetitive tasks.
• Solve Problems Fast: Match POs, reconcile vendor accounts, resolve discrepancies, and eliminate delays.
• Be the Vendor Point-Person: Maintain strong relationships and respond to inquiries quickly and clearly.
• Ensure Accuracy: Keep records clean, audit-ready, and compliant with internal controls.
• Support Reporting: Provide visibility into payables, aging, and cash flow.
• Drive Improvements: Identify opportunities to streamline workflows using automation or AI-enabled tools.

What Success Looks Like

• All vendor invoices are processed within 48 hours of receipt.
• Monthly AP reconciliations are complete, accurate, and on time.
• Vendor relationships are smooth-questions are answered quickly, and issues are resolved proactively.
• No audit findings related to AP processes.
• You identify and implement at least one process improvement per quarter.
• You are seen by the team as a dependable go-to for anything AP-related.

What You Bring

• 1-3 years of AP, bookkeeping, or general accounting experience.
• Familiarity with accounting systems (NetSuite, Coupa = bonus) and Excel.
• Comfort with AI tools, automation platforms, or a desire to learn.
• Strong attention to detail, and a drive to make things more efficient.
• You own your work, move fast, and don’t wait to be told what’s broken.

Why This Role Matters

• You’re not just paying bills-you’re streamlining how 4AG runs.
• You’ll help shape how we use AI and automation across Finance.
• You’ll grow in a company that promotes from within and builds tools that matter.
• As we scale, you’ll have clear paths into process leadership, systems management, or analytical finance roles.

What We Believe

At 4AG Robotics, we embrace the fast pace of start-up life. Innovation drives us, and staying open to new ideas keeps us moving forward. We encourage healthy debate but always commit to moving forward as a team. We work hard, support each other fully, and value agility over bureaucracy. And yes, the freezer is always stocked with ice cream!
