You will coordinate with U.S. business owners and vendors while maintaining accurate documentation and controls.

The team currently processes invoices primarily in Bill.com and expects to transition to SAP S/4HANA in 2027. You will help sustain day-to-day AP operations while supporting the existing team through this transition.

• Assist in preparing AP accruals, reconciliations, and monthly close support.
• Support 1099 reporting and respond to internal and external audit requests with complete supporting evidence.
• Follow AP controls, approval workflows, and standard operating procedures, escalating exceptions when needed.
• Collaborate with accounting and procurement teams during the transition to SAP S/4HANA while maintaining timely day-to-day AP processing.

Required Skills & Experience

• 3 years of hands-on accounts payable experience in a structured environment.
• Prior experience supporting U.S.-based companies and working directly with U.S. employees or vendors.
• Solid familiarity across core AP functions: invoice processing, vendor payments, vendor master data maintenance, expense reimbursements, and corporate card processing.
• Practical understanding of 2-way and 3-way matching (matching invoices to purchase orders and goods receipts).
• Experience assisting with AP accruals, account reconciliations, and month-end close activities.
• Basic working knowledge of tax documentation (W-8/W-9), 1099 reporting, and audit support requirements.
• Proficiency using standard ERP or AP automation tools, with an eagerness and ability to learn new software quickly.
• Strong written and spoken English skills for clear, direct communication with U.S. stakeholders.
• Strong organizational skills to work independently as part of a distributed team, with availability for meaningful overlap with Pacific Time business hours.

Nice to Have Skills

• Familiarity with Bill.com or similar invoice processing software. Experience with corporate card and expense management platforms (e.g., Brex, Concur).
• Exposure to large-scale ERP platforms like SAP S/4HANA.
• Previous experience participating in system implementations or process improvements.
• Basic understanding of accounting controls or experience working within a SOX-compliant framework.

Soft Skills
