We're looking for a detail-oriented and proactive Accounts Payable assistant with solid accounting knowledge and hands-on experience in ERP systems like Microsoft Dynamics Business Central (or equivalents such as SAP, Oracle) to join our multinational team. In this role, you'll play a key part in ensuring smooth, accurate, and timely processing of vendor invoices, reconciliations and preparation of payment runs across our global operations. You'll handle multi-currency transactions, support and apply international tax ruling, and contribute to efficient cash flow management. This position is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys problem-solving, and wants to grow within a dynamic finance team that serves business units in multiple countries. If you're someone who spots discrepancies before they become issues and loves streamlining processes, this could be your next step.

• Review, code, and enter vendor invoices into the ERP system (Business Central), ensuring accuracy in details like amounts, currencies, taxes, and GL coding. Handle high volumes of invoices from international suppliers, including multi-currency conversions and VAT/GST compliance.
• Maintain vendor master data in the ERP, including onboarding new suppliers, updating contact info, and resolving queries. Conduct regular vendor statement reconciliations and manage disputes or credits efficiently. Contact and validate new Vendor Details and submit new or change requests timely to the ticketing tool for accurate MD records.
• Ensure all AP activities adhere to local and international accounting standards, aligned with internal accounting files and tax regulations, and company policies. Assist with internal/external audits by providing documentation and explanations as needed.
• Leverage Business Central for end-to-end AP workflows, including automation of routine tasks like invoice matching and approval routing. Generate reports on AP aging, dispute and unapproved items, and expense submission posting management.
• Prepare payment run proposals (e.g., ACH, wire transfers, checks) and liaise with Treasury for settlement, reconciling payments against invoices & credits. Monitor payment terms to optimize cash flow and avoid late fees, while flagging any discrepancies for escalation
• Identify bottlenecks in AP processes and suggest enhancements, collaborate with cross-functional teams (e.g., Business Cost Initiators, treasury) to refine workflows.
• Handle special projects, like system migrations or clean-ups of legacy data, and provide backup for other finance team members during peaks or absences.

• A minimum of 3-5 years in an Accounts Payable role, preferably in a multinational or multi-entity environment where you've dealt with international vendors and currencies
• Strong foundational knowledge of accounting principles, including debits/credits, accruals, and reconciliations.
• A diploma or associate’s degree in accounting, Finance, or a related field is preferred;
• Proven experience with Microsoft Dynamics Business Central or similar ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle ). You should be comfortable with data entry, querying, and basic customizations/reporting
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, especially Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, formulas) for data manipulation and analysis
• Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy – you're the type who double-checks everything to prevent errors.
• Solid organizational skills with the ability to prioritize tasks in a high-volume setting and meet deadlines without supervision.
• Good communication skills for interacting with vendors, internal teams, and stakeholders across time zones – fluency in English is required; additional languages are advantageous for our global ops.
