• Develop and maintain dashboards and reporting tools that provide visibility into key AP KPIs for finance and operational stakeholders.
• Support month-end and quarter-end close by providing clean, validated data and insights that inform accruals, cash flow projections, and vendor risk analysis.
• Assist with forecasting vendor payments and understanding the timing impact on working capital.
• Ensure data integrity across financial systems, flagging anomalies and inconsistencies for further review.
• Partner with internal teams to align AP insights with broader financial goals and planning cycles.
