Job Title: Accounts Payable Specialist Job Description The Accounts Payable Specialist plays a key role in managing the full accounts payable cycle from vendor setup through payment processing and issue resolution.

• - Identify issues within the AP process, ask appropriate questions, and proactively drive exceptions to resolution rather than allowing them to remain unresolved.
• - Participate in and adapt to evolving ERP and AP automation initiatives, including use of systems such as bill.com and other ERP platforms.

Essential Skills

• - Strong understanding of the complete accounts payable process, including end-to-end ownership from vendor setup through payment confirmation.
• - Hands-on experience performing three-way match between purchase orders, receiving records, and vendor invoices.
• - Ability to independently research and resolve discrepancies involving purchasing, receiving, and vendor invoicing.
• - Proficiency working in NetSuite with minimal ramp-up time, including executing AP-related workflows and transactions.
• - Demonstrated experience in full cycle accounts payable, including invoice processing, approvals, payment setup, and confirmation of successful payment processing.
• - Effective communication skills for collaborating with purchasing, receiving, vendors, and accounting stakeholders.
• - Strong ownership mentality with a willingness to follow issues through to completion and maintain accountability for outstanding AP problems.
• - Ability to learn accounts payable systems and workflows quickly and adapt to evolving ERP environments.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• - Experience working with Ramp for payment or expense workflows is preferred.
• - Familiarity with ERP systems and AP automation tools such as bill.com is beneficial.
