About the role

  • Lead accounts payable operations for a Boston-based professional services firm focused on automation. Oversee end-to-end AP processes and drive process improvements across multiple entities.

Responsibilities

  • Oversee the full accounts payable cycle: Review and approve invoices exceeding set thresholds, ensuring accuracy and compliance prior to payment execution.
  • Manage vendor relationships and onboarding: Facilitate new vendor setups and maintain ongoing vendor partnerships, negotiating payment terms and discounts to enhance cash flow management.
  • Drive process improvements and automation: Lead efforts to optimize AP workflows by evaluating and deploying AI-driven tools to minimize manual tasks and boost operational efficiency.
  • Support month-end close processes: Reconcile vendor statements, verify invoice receipt, and collaborate with internal teams to ensure AP records are complete and close deadlines are met.
  • Lead AP integration and training for acquisitions: Manage system integration for acquired entities, including bank account configurations and training partner teams on updated AP procedures.

Requirements

  • Deep AP Process Expertise: They need someone who truly loves accounts payable and can own the end-to-end AP process, including vendor setup, invoice review, and ensuring completeness for month-end close — this is critical given the volume and complexity across nearly 20 entities.
  • Automation & Tech Savvy: With plans to implement AI-driven AP solutions like Rillian and integrate with Sage Intacct, the ideal candidate must have hands-on experience driving AP automation and process improvements to reduce manual effort and scale efficiently.
  • Integration & Vendor Relationship Management: They want someone who can lead AP integrations for multiple acquisitions, manage vendor relationships proactively, and negotiate terms to capture payment discounts — a key area for operational and cash flow impact as the business grows rapidly.
