Assist the wider Trade Payables team with complex reconciliations, including supplier statement reconciliations, GR/IR, PO vs invoice investigations and month-end accruals.
-
Build and maintain reconciliation templates and automated reconciliation processes where possible.
-
Help resolve supplier escalations and support audits by providing system evidence and reconciliations.
-
Act as a cross-functional resource for NonTrade AP: analyze non-PO invoice workflows, recommend process or system changes, and assist with reporting and reconciliations as needed.
-
Standardize controls and reporting across Trade and NonTrade AP to create consistency and leverage best practices.
-
Design and maintain operational and management dashboards and reports for AP KPIs (e.g., Days Payable Outstanding, invoice cycle time, match rate, exception rate, cost-per-invoice).
-
Use advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, Power Query, advanced formulas) and work with BI tools as needed to extract insights and measure impact of process changes.
-
Provide regular insights and recommendations to the Manager, Accounts Payable and senior finance stakeholders to support decision-making.
-
Provide training and change management support for AP operations and other affected teams.
