• Calculate, validate, and process commissions accurately based on sales and business data.
• Oversee AP, AR, and Commission system and process changes, including requirements gathering, testing, validation, documentation, and implementation.
• Analyze AP, AR, Procurement, and Commission data to support informed decision-making and identify trends, exceptions, control gaps, and actionable recommendations.
• Partner cross-functionally to identify process improvement opportunities and implement solutions that enhance efficiency, data accuracy, and scalability.
• Support audits and recurring monthly, annual, and regulatory requirements, including 1099 processing, W-9 collection, annual filings, state reporting, and Unclaimed Property.
• Perform monthly account reconciliations and support cash forecasting, payment analysis, financial reporting, and operational metrics.
• Independently cover the full end-to-end AP process as needed, including invoice intake and entry, coding and approval follow-up, vendor maintenance, payment processing, expense review, exception resolution, reconciliations, and supporting documentation.
• Serve as the senior operational resource and designated back-up to the manager for AP workflow coordination, escalations, risk identification and business continuity.

Skills & Capabilities

• Strong accounting and AP operations knowledge, with an understanding of the upstream and downstream impacts across AR, Procurement, Commissions, Treasury, and financial reporting.
• Ability to lead through influence, provide clear direction during coverage periods, and escalate matters appropriately.
• Exceptional attention to detail, accuracy, organization, and follow-through.
• Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills, including the ability to assess risk and make sound decisions within established authority.
• Ability to analyze financial and operational data and translate findings into practical recommendations.
• Clear, professional written and verbal communication and the ability to build productive relationships across all levels of the organization.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities, adapt to changing business needs, and meet time-sensitive payment, reporting, and filing deadlines.
• Self-motivated, proactive, collaborative, and committed to continuous improvement.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related field preferred; equivalent relevant experience may be considered.
• 5+ years of accounting or finance operations experience, with meaningful experience in accounts payable and exposure to AR, Procurement, and Commission processes.
