• Manage AP workflows in Coupa, card and spend activity in Brex, and posting and reconciliation in NetSuite; ensure clean data flow between systems.
• Deliver AP accruals, subledger-to-GL reconciliations, and aging reviews on the close calendar.
• Maintain internal controls over disbursements, including segregation of duties, approval limits, vendor master changes, and duplicate payment checks.
• Support internal and external audit requests.
• Oversee 1099 and tax reporting, plus sales and use tax and VAT treatment on vendor invoices across jurisdictions.
• Partner with Procurement, Treasury, Accounting, and department budget owners to resolve invoice and payment issues quickly.
• Track AP metrics such as days payable, invoice cycle time, early-pay capture, and exception rates, and use insights to identify process improvements.
• Document procedures and drive automation improvements as the organization and vendor base grow.

Requirements

• Hands-on experience with Coupa and NetSuite.
• Experience with Brex or a comparable corporate card platform is strongly preferred.
• Experience with global, multi-entity, multi-currency payables, including foreign currency invoices, international payment methods, and VAT and other statutory requirements across jurisdictions.
• Strong Excel skills and comfort with reporting and reconciliation.
• Clear communication and sound judgment on when to resolve issues directly versus escalate.

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or a related field.
• Experience with SOX controls or a similar compliance framework.
• Experience supporting an AP team through a system migration or process redesign.
