Accounts Payable Specialist with 10+ years streamlining high-volume, accurate invoice processing.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Accounts Payable Specialist with 10+ years of success managing high-volume invoice processing, vendor management, reconciliations, and month-end close activities. I bring a strong focus on accuracy, compliance, and resolving discrepancies before they impact reporting.
In my current role, I process 250–300+ freight invoices weekly with high accuracy and compliance oversight. I serve as the primary contact for vendors and owner-operators, handling complex payment issues while maintaining clean documentation and reliable payment processing.
I’m also deeply experienced in accruals, settlements, incentives, and fuel/mileage tax, along with ACH and wire payments. I oversee property tax payments and support nationwide compliance needs, strengthening the reliability of financial close and reporting.
Previously, I coordinated invoice approvals, credits, AR resolutions, and reporting analysis while supporting advanced billing for major national accounts. I’ve worked across multiple ERP/accounting platforms and advanced Excel to improve data management, troubleshoot issues, and support implementations.
