About the role

Procure-to-Pay Operations

  • Own full-cycle accounts payable: invoice intake, coding, approval routing, 2- and 3-way match against purchase orders and receiving documentation, and payment execution
  • Manage the exception and payment-hold queue as the primary point of resolution, working root causes rather than clearing symptoms
  • Execute payment runs across ACH, wire, and card, with disciplined controls around tiered approval thresholds, wire release, vendor bank detail changes, and payment fraud prevention
  • Own vendor master data integrity, including onboarding, W-9 and W-8 collection, and periodic review

Capital Expenditure and Infrastructure Spend

  • Partner with Infrastructure and Procurement on hardware and data center spend such as deposits and progress payments, shipment and receipt timing, and the documentation needed to establish in-service dates
  • Ensure capital versus expense classification is applied consistently at the point of coding, and flag items requiring technical accounting review
  • Track construction-in-progress activity and support the roll-forward of capitalized costs
  • Flag colocation, hosting, and equipment agreements that may contain embedded leases for accounting review under ASC 842

Close and Accruals

  • Prepare the accrual for received-not-invoiced goods and services with focus on completeness, such as variable and high-value infrastructure costs including power, bandwidth, colocation etc. where invoices arrive after close
  • Reconcile AP subledger to the general ledger, along with accrued liabilities, prepaid expenses, and corporate card clearing accounts
  • Prepare audit-ready support and respond to auditor requests on payables, accruals, and search for unrecorded liabilities

Compliance and Controls

  • Administer reimbursement and corporate card programs on Ramp, including receipt and policy compliance review
  • Manage annual 1099 and applicable information reporting
  • Support use tax and property tax accrual through accurate coding of equipment purchases across our operating states
  • Document AP policies, procedures, and controls, with segregation of duties designed for a company preparing for future public-company requirements

Requirements

  • 4+ years of accounting experience with substantial ownership of the AP or procure-to-pay cycle
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
  • Experience with purchase orders, 3-way matching, and receiving discipline in an environment with meaningful physical goods or capital spend
  • Solid understanding of accrual accounting and month-end close, including the judgment required to build a complete accrual with imperfect information
  • High-volume, high-dollar payment experience with a control mindset
  • Comfort operating without an established process and building documentation as you go

Preferred

  • CPA or CPA candidate
  • Data center, infrastructure, hardware, manufacturing, or construction industry background
  • Working knowledge of fixed asset accounting and capitalization policy
  • NetSuite or comparable ERP; experience with AP automation and spend platforms such as Ramp, Bill, or Coupa
  • Exposure to vendor financing or equipment purchase structures
