We have an outstanding career opportunity for an Accounts Payable Manager to join a leading Company located in the Glen Allen, VA surrounding area.
Salary: $90K to $100K
The Accounts Payable Manager owns end-to-end accounts payable operation across all entities: invoice processing and payment execution in ERP(s), vendor master governance, payment-fraud controls, month-end and fiscal year-end close deliverables, and the development of the AP team. The role is accountable for the accuracy, timeliness, and control integrity within the department, and partners daily with Treasury on payment planning and cash-flow inputs.
Job Responsibilities:
- Own daily accounts payable in ERP(s): invoice intake, coding review, approval routing, and timely posting across all entities; resolve exceptions and vendor inquiries at the root.

- Own vendor onboarding (W-9 / TIN validation and bank-detail verification).
- Payment-fraud controls.
- Enforce independent callback verification for every vendor banking-detail change; process factoring and assignment notices and payment redirects in coordination with Legal and Treasury; investigate any misdirected payment through to recovery and root cause.
- Unapplied payments and vendor statements.
- Drive the open unapplied-payment population to resolution and keep it immaterial; run monthly statement reconciliations for high-volume suppliers; keep deductions, debit memos, and claim offsets documented and matched.
- Own the AP side of month-end and fiscal year-end close: key understanding of subledger-to-GL tie-out, AP aging review, accruals for received-not-invoiced activity and open card cycles, and adherence to the June fiscal year-end cutoff calendar.
- Information reporting (1099). Deliver accurate year-end 1099 reporting, maintain W-9 file completeness, and handle related correspondence.
- Controls and audit. Maintain segregation of duties within AP, keep SOPs current, deliver audit items on schedule, and remediate findings promptly.
- Team leadership. Hire, train, and develop the AP team. Set clear expectations, balanced workloads, cross-training for coverage, and proactive performance management.
- Lead the weekly AP aging report review to optimize cash flow management, identify dispute bottlenecks, minimize late fees, and foster strong vendor relationships.
- Continuous improvement.
- Advance automation of invoice capture and workflow, and partner with Treasury and IT on payment-method upgrades.
- Trains staff on all processes and procedures.
- Generates standard reports as needed.
- Performs additional duties as assigned.
Basic Hiring Criteria:
