About the Role:
We’re looking for an Accounting Manager to take ownership of core accounting operations, with an immediate focus on accounts payable. You’ll oversee reconciliations, prepaid expenses, OPEX activity, and month-end responsibilities while partnering with the broader accounting team.

You Will:
Own end-to-end AP processes and vendor reconciliations.
Manage the company credit card program through Ramp.
Maintain prepaid expense schedules and review OPEX transactions.
Reconcile key vendor accounts, including Sage, Microsoft, and PAXA, and resolve discrepancies promptly.
Partner with order and renewal specialists when usage-based customer billing needs to be invoiced.
Support month-end close activities and accounting schedules.
Collaborate closely with the AP Clerk and provide guidance on vendor setup, reconciliations, discrepancies, and AP-related workflows.
Build working knowledge across AP, AR, reconciliations, close, and general accounting processes.
Monitor tax-related workflows through Avalara and flag issues for leadership review.
Identify workflow or process gaps and make recommendations for improvement.
Support accounting leadership with additional projects, forecasting, budgeting, and evolving team needs.
