• Entry of all payment applications into Notes, as well as accounting system.
• Maintain project files/folders and ensure that they are decent and in order.
• Follow up communication with owners, as well as consistent communication with all other accounting personnel, project managers and executive management to address questions, or issues that prevent timely submittals, approvals and payments.
• Review/ approve subcontractor pay applications as submitted
• Ensure all supplier waivers have been received prior to payment to the subcontractor
• Communicate with subcontractors on payment and waiver related questions
