Accounts Payable Specialist

What You'll Do: Utility payments process and schedule high-volume utility bills across the property portfolio; monitor for late notices, shut-off risk, and past-due balances; resolve discrepancies directly with utility providers and set up new accounts at transfer. Bank portals and payments initiate and release wires and ACH payments through multiple online banking portals; manage positive pay exceptions, stop payments, and payment confirmations. Invoice processing code, enter, and route vendor invoices for approval; match invoices to POs and contracts; ensure correct property, GL account, and period coding. Vendor management maintain vendor master records, W-9s, and remittance details; respond to vendor inquiries on payment status; reconcile vendor statements. Treasury support assist with daily cash positioning, funding requests, and payment prioritization; prepare payment batches for review and approval. Reporting and cleanup run and review aged payables reports; help clear aging items and correct miscoded entries; support month-end AP close and accruals. Controls follow approval limits and dual-control requirements on all outbound payments; escalate anything unusual rather than working around it.
