• Process and audit employee travel and expense reimbursements

• Support ERP initiatives, including new system implementations or enhancements

• Provide day-to-day guidance and leadership to AP staff as needed

• Maintain and analyze GR/IR reports

• Help develop and respond to internal controls and audit findings related to AP

• Partner closely with Procurement and Supply Chain to resolve invoice and receiving issues

Required Experience
