• Maintain organized invoice, approval, and payment documentation that supports payment controls, audit requests, and financial reporting.
• Reconcile AP transactions and prepare close-ready AP schedules for month-end, year-end, bank and general-ledger reconciliations, tax preparation, and statutory filing support.
