Role Responsibilities
Invoice Processing & BAU :
- Process complex, multi-entity vendor invoices end-to-end across Business Central and NetSuite: GL coding, entity allocation, approval routing, intercompany transactions, and corporate purchase card reconciliation.
- Manage the full AP lifecycle for assigned entities: invoice receipt, two- and three-way matching, exception resolution, payment proposal preparation, and remittance confirmation.
- Act as primary escalation point for invoice exceptions -price variances, missing POs, unrecognized vendors, intercompany mismatches -resolving independently or via appropriate approval channels.
- Process T&E claims via Concur or equivalent; support entity-specific AP flows including ATG/Canada; assist with reconciliations across the AP system, ERP, and bank statements.
- Support training and day-to-day guidance of junior AP Specialists on ERP processes and entity-specific requirements.
Exception Management & AI Supervision :
- Own resolution of AP exceptions that Payflows and the AI agent cannot auto-process: low-confidence matches, missing or invalid POs, price and quantity variances outside tolerance, and intercompany coding judgements.
- Investigate root causes of recurring exceptions; propose process or configuration changes -working with the AP Team Lead and Payflows platform owner -to prevent recurrence and drive the touchless rate higher.
- Review and spot-check AI agent decisions for accuracy and policy compliance; identify failure patterns by supplier, entity, or expense type; feed corrections back into automation rules.
- Act as NetSuite and Payflows AP super-user: support user acceptance testing during system upgrades, configuration changes, and new entity onboarding.
Vendor Management, Reporting & Compliance:
- Escalation point for vendor cases the self-service portal cannot resolve complex onboarding queries, payment-status disputes, banking detail changes, and compliance flags.
- Support the vendor portal adoption program: identify high-friction vendors, drive onboarding of the long-tail supplier base to self-service, and feed adoption data into the AP improvement plan.
- Lead monthly reconciliations of major vendor accounts; prepare and own accrual and prepayment schedules; collaborate with GL at month-end to confirm purchase ledger balances.
- Contribute to month-end AP reporting and KPI tracking -touchless rate, cost per invoice, exception rate, cycle time -and surface specific improvement opportunities.
- Ensure compliance with AP policies, financial controls, and applicable regulatory requirements; support internal and external audit with AP documentation, reconciliations, and system evidence.
