The ideal candidate should have experience working in a high-volume, fast-paced, and demanding finance environment, managing multiple priorities while coordinating with internal stakeholders across Finance, Procurement, Operations, Sales, Business Units, and other departments. The candidate must understand the end-to-end accounting lifecycle, including upstream and downstream processes, and be capable of identifying the financial and operational impact of AP transactions, disputes, reconciliations, and process gaps.

• Manage and oversee high-volume Accounts Payable transactions with strong focus on accuracy, timeliness, and compliance.
• Review invoices, purchase orders, receipts, payment terms, and supporting documentation.
• Handle 3-way matching between Purchase Orders, Goods/Service Receipts, and Invoices.
• Investigate invoice exceptions, blocked invoices, duplicate invoices, pricing discrepancies, and payment issues.
• Monitor AP aging, outstanding invoices, and payment-related exceptions.
• Ensure timely resolution of invoices to meet agreed SLA and payment timelines.
• Identify recurring AP issues and recommend process improvements. Dispute Management:
• Own and manage invoice and payment-related disputes from identification through resolution.
• Investigate discrepancies involving pricing, quantity, tax, purchase orders, contracts, receipts, credits, and payments.
• Coordinate with Procurement, Vendors, Business Units, Receiving, Finance, and other stakeholders to resolve disputes.
• Maintain dispute trackers, aging, root causes, ownership, and resolution status.
• Escalate critical or long-pending disputes appropriately.
• Identify trends and recurring dispute drivers and recommend corrective actions. Reconciliation:
• Perform regular account and transaction reconciliations.
• Reconcile vendor statements, AP sub-ledger, general ledger, payments, credits, and outstanding balances.
• Investigate and resolve reconciliation differences and aged open items.
• Support month-end and year-end close activities.
• Ensure accurate accounting records and timely closure of outstanding items.
• Coordinate with General Accounting and other Finance teams to resolve reconciliation issues. Upstream & Downstream Accounting Process:

• Coordinate with Procurement, Finance, Accounting, Operations, Business Units, Treasury, Vendor Management, and other teams.
• Handle challenging conversations and conflicting priorities professionally.
• Drive issues to closure while maintaining strong stakeholder relationships.

• High-Pressure / High-Volume Environment
• Comfortable working in a high-volume and deadline-driven environment.
• Ability to handle multiple urgent issues simultaneously without compromising accuracy.
