AR/AP Manager

The AR/AP Manager leads accounts payable and accounts receivable operations across multiple legal entities and currencies. This hands-on manager is responsible for team performance, transaction accuracy, payment execution, collections, reconciliations, internal controls, and a rolling 13-week cash forecast. The role partners closely with Finance and business leaders to support a timely close, strengthen working capital, and identify cash or control risks early in a fast-paced, global environment.

Job Responsibilities:

Accounts Payable

· Lead, coach, and develop the accounts payable and accounts receivable team; establish priorities, review work quality, and ensure deadlines and service expectations are met.

· Compile and maintain a weekly payables register of open vendor invoices by due date, legal entity, and currency.

· Oversee end-to-end invoice processing, including matching invoices to purchase orders and receiving documentation, coding them to the correct general ledger account and entity, routing them for approval, and ensuring accurate entry into the accounting system.

· Prepare payment-run proposals that clearly identify what is due, what can be deferred, and the cash required for approval.

· Execute approved payments and confirm that funds have settled successfully.

· Maintain accurate vendor master data and tax documentation; independently validate all requests to change vendor banking details before payment.

· Reconcile vendor statements to the accounts payable subledger and investigate and resolve discrepancies promptly.

· Maintain strong AP controls, monitor process compliance, and support accurate and timely month-end close activities.

Cash Flow

· Maintain a rolling 13-week cash forecast incorporating accounts payable due dates, expected customer collections, and fixed operating outflows.

· Identify potential funding gaps early and recommend which payments should be prioritized, staged, or renegotiated.

· Track cash positions by legal entity and currency and flag when funds need to be moved between entities.

Accounts Receivable

· Keep the accounts receivable subledger accurate and current by ensuring invoices are issued on time and incoming cash is applied promptly and correctly.

· Own the weekly accounts receivable aging review and investigate unapplied cash, unidentified receipts, and balances that are past due.

· Reconcile accounts receivable to the general ledger and customer remittance detail, clearing variances before the monthly close.

· Manage customer collections follow-up and work cross-functionally to resolve billing disputes and short payments.

· Monitor AR performance and working-capital trends, communicate risks to leadership, and drive corrective action on overdue or disputed balances.

Who You Are:

· Have 5+ years of progressive accounts payable, accounts receivable, or accounting operations experience, including at least 2 years leading or supervising a finance team.

· Bring experience supporting multiple legal entities and currencies in a high-volume or global business environment.

· Understand invoice-to-pay and order-to-cash processes, including three-way matching, payment runs, cash application, collections, and subledger-to-general-ledger reconciliations.

· Can build and maintain a short-term cash forecast and translate aging data into clear payment and funding recommendations.

· Demonstrate strong Excel skills, including pivot tables, lookups, reconciliations, and working with large data sets; experience with an ERP or accounting system is required.

· Apply sound controls when maintaining vendor data and validating changes to banking information.

· Communicate clearly with vendors, customers, approvers, and internal business partners while resolving discrepancies and disputes.

· Use performance metrics, aging reports, and process data to improve accuracy, cycle time, collections, and team accountability.

· Are highly organized, accurate, and able to lead through competing deadlines in a fast-paced environment.

· Hold a bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, business, or a related field, or possess an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.
