This role oversees daily Accounts Payable operations, including invoice processing, 2-way/3-way matching, handling exceptions, managing debit/credit notes, GR/IR clearing, and executing timely payment runs. You will ensure strong governance over PO compliance, vendor compliance, and correct invoice routing. The position also involves managing timesheet-based vendor invoices, validating against SOWs, rate cards, and timesheets, as well as overseeing employee reimbursements and corporate card settlements in adherence to company policies.

You will be the owner of vendor master data, responsible for creation, modification, banking validation, and tax documentation (1099/W-9/W-8, GST, TDS). Key responsibilities include ensuring compliance with India's GST, TDS, RCM, and vendor GST reconciliation; US 1099 preparation and vendor tax documentation; and Canada's GST/HST/PST compliance.

You will manage month/quarter/year-end close activities, including accruals, AP aging, AP-GL reconciliation, prepayments, and DPO tracking.

Effective stakeholder management is vital, requiring close collaboration with Procurement, FP&A, HR/TA, Payroll, Legal, and Business Operations teams. You will handle escalations from vendors and internal business teams across India, the US, and Canada. Identifying opportunities for process improvement to reduce cycle times, minimize exceptions, and enhance first-pass accuracy is expected. You will also support automation initiatives like OCR, e-invoicing, and workflow tools, and publish AP dashboards and KPIs.

In a people leadership capacity, you will supervise a team of 5–6 AP professionals, managing task allocation, performance, and coaching. Maintaining SOPs, ensuring timely SLA compliance, and developing cross-skilled backups are integral to this role.

The ideal candidate possesses a M.Com degree, with a preference for semi-qualified CA candidates. A minimum of 10–12 years of comprehensive Accounts Payable experience is required, including at least 3–5 years in a team leadership capacity. Demonstrable strong knowledge of AP processes, PO processing, debit/credit notes, reconciliations, month-end close procedures, and vendor management is essential.

Experience supporting multi-country operations, specifically India, the US, and Canada, is a prerequisite. Proficiency in enterprise ERP systems such as SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, or MS Dynamics, alongside experience with AP and T&E tools, is necessary. Strong Microsoft Excel skills and exposure to BI tools like Power BI or Tableau are also required.

Desirable qualifications include experience within the IT or professional services industry. Knowledge of e-invoicing (India), 1099 processes (US), and HST/GST/PST (Canada) is advantageous. Exposure to Robotic Process Automation (RPA) or automation in finance operations would also be beneficial.
