You own invoice intake, coding, approval routing, and payment preparation across a large entity portfolio. You make sure every bill has an approval attached before it is paid, every payment matches what was approved, and nothing is paid twice. You prepare and review payment runs and ensure that payments get released on time.
You own all records of all vendors, and verify before anything gets paid. You own vendor on-boarding and verification, bank detail changes, W-9 collection, and year-end 1099 reporting.
Staff Supervision & Development
You hire, train, and manage a team of 2-3 Accounts Payable Specialists. You assign their work, review their output, give feedback on accuracy and timeliness, and hold them accountable for deadlines.
You own the controls that prevent fraud and the procedures that document them: separation of duties, first-payment flags on new or changed vendors, positive pay, and monthly reconciliations of what was paid to what was approved. You identify recurring errors and process gaps, and you fix them rather than flag them.
