Following six recent acquisitions and expansion to over 70 locations nationwide - with more growth planned - the company is scaling fast. You will join a tight-knit, collaborative AP team that genuinely enjoys working together and supports one another through high-volume workloads. Under the guidance of a hands-on, empowering manager who values critical thinking and autonomy over micromanagement, you will play a key role in keeping operations running smoothly, clearing invoice backlogs, and helping shape evolving workflows as the department pilots new AP automation tools.
Key Responsibilities
- High-Volume Invoice Processing: Perform accurate three-way PO matching and manual invoice entry within Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, prioritizing precision and error prevention over raw speed (the department processes 70–100+ invoices daily).
- Complex Account & Variance Resolution: Manage large national vendor accounts involving multi-tier POs, varying unit pricing, line-item quantity adjustments, additional charges, and inconsistent vendor naming conventions.
- Multi-Branch Routing & Job Costing: Monitor the centralized AP inbox, identify job-cost invoices, and coordinate directly with field personnel across 70+ branch locations to secure timely approvals and coding.
- Vendor Relations & Reconciliations: Respond to vendor inquiries, reconcile monthly vendor statements, and resolve billing discrepancies professionally and efficiently.
- Process Adaptability: Partner with leadership and teammates during the ongoing testing and rollout of a new AI-assisted AP automation tool, helping refine daily workflows as systems evolve.
Onboarding & Growth Trajectory
- Weeks 1–3: Build proficiency in standard invoice entry, develop a sharp eye for billing discrepancies, and learn multi-step variance resolution.
- Months 1–6: Progressively master multi-entity nuances, complex national accounts, and branch-specific job-costing workflows, with full operational ramp expected around 5–6 months.
- Long-Term Potential: Strong internal mobility - this role offers a clear path to permanent hire, and high performers on the team have successfully transitioned into broader accounting and General Ledger roles.
Qualifications & Skills
- Experience: Proven background in Accounts Payable, ideally handling high-volume PO matching, multi-entity billing, or job-costing environments.
- Technical Proficiency:
- Experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a major plus.
- Basic-to-intermediate Microsoft Excel skills (comfortable navigating spreadsheets and entering/reviewing data; advanced formulas like VLOOKUPs or Pivot Tables are not required).
- Comfort adapting to new software and emerging AI automation tools.
- Core Competencies: Analytical mindset, strong discrepancy-detection abilities, "head-down" focus, and an unwavering commitment to accuracy.
- Soft Skills & Work Ethic: Adaptable, open-minded, and calm under pressure in a fast-paced, evolving environment. Strong, proactive communicator who values team camaraderie and reliability.
