- Support month-end close, AP accruals, unvouchered receipt analysis, reconciliations, 1099 preparation, audit schedules, and process improvements.

- Experience working in an ERP system; Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management experience is strongly preferred.
- Strong Excel skills, including lookups, pivot tables, and reconciling large transaction files.
- Understanding of AP internal controls, segregation of duties, duplicate payment prevention, and payment fraud risk.
- Ability to maintain clean AP aging, resolve unmatched receipts, and support accurate month-end close.
- Clear written and verbal communication skills with vendors, buyers, receiving teams, and internal stakeholders.
- High school diploma or GED required.
