Our corporate projections offer a multitude of opportunities for professionals to elevate their careers and experience substantial growth. Joining our team means engaging with expansive engineering teams across Latin America and the United States, contributing to cutting-edge developments in multiple industries.

Currently, we are seeking a Senior Accounts Payable Specialist with strong English communication skills to join a U.S. company’s accounting team as a dedicated, hands-on contributor.

Position Title: Senior Accounts Payable Specialist

Location: Remote LATAM

What you will be doing:

You will work directly with the client’s accounting team to process a growing volume of vendor invoices and support the full accounts payable cycle. This is a hands-on senior role, with direct involvement in invoice review, approval workflows, coding, payments, vendor records, reconciliations, and month-end close. You will coordinate with U.S. business owners and vendors and maintain accurate documentation and controls.

The team currently processes invoices primarily in Bill.com and expects to transition to SAP S/4HANA in 2027. You will help sustain day-to-day AP operations while the existing team supports that transition. Prior SAP S/4HANA experience is valuable, but the team can train a strong AP professional on its systems.

• Review and process vendor invoices, confirm business owner approval, and follow up on missing information or discrepancies.
• Match invoices to purchase orders, goods receipts, and other supporting documentation when applicable.
• Review account coding and submit invoices through the AP workflow, currently using Bill.com.
• Maintain accurate vendor records, including payment details and W-8/W-9 documentation, in accordance with company controls.
• Prepare vendor payments for the required review and approval process and help resolve payment inquiries.
• Support employee expense reimbursements and corporate card processes.
• Prepare AP accruals and reconciliations and support the monthly close.
• Assist with 1099 reporting and respond to internal and external audit requests with complete supporting evidence.
• Follow and document AP controls, approval workflows, and procedures, escalating exceptions when needed.
• Work with the accounting and procurement teams during the transition to SAP S/4HANA while maintaining timely AP processing.

Required Skills & Experience:

• 5+ years of hands-on accounts payable experience, including ownership of a high-volume invoice and payment process.
• Significant experience supporting U.S.-based companies and working directly with U.S. employees and vendors.
• Experience across the AP cycle, including invoice processing, vendor payments, vendor master data, expense reimbursements, and corporate cards.
• Ability to review purchase orders, goods receipts, and approvals and perform invoice matching accurately.
• Experience preparing AP accruals and reconciliations and supporting month-end close.
• Working knowledge of W-8/W-9 documentation, 1099 reporting, audit support, and AP controls.
• Experience using an ERP or AP platform and the ability to learn new finance systems quickly.

Nice to Have Skills:

• Experience in a public company or a SOX controlled accounting environment.
• Hands-on experience with SAP S/4HANA, particularly accounts payable or procurement workflows.
• Experience with Bill.com or a comparable invoice processing platform.
• Experience with Brex, Concur, or similar corporate card and expense tools.
• Experience supporting an ERP or procure-to-pay implementation or process transition.

Soft Skills:

• Strong attention to detail and sound judgment when handling invoices, payment information, and supporting records.
• Strong written and spoken English for direct communication with U.S. stakeholders.
• Ability to work independently as an integrated member of the accounting team and provide meaningful overlap with Pacific Time business hours.
• Clear, professional communication with business owners, vendors, and accounting colleagues.
• Ability to follow up proactively and resolve discrepancies without losing track of deadlines.
• Comfort working directly in the process while identifying opportunities to improve documentation and controls.
• Adaptability during system and workflow changes, with a collaborative approach to knowledge transfer.

• Join a powerful tech workforce and help us change the world through technology
• Professional development opportunities with international customers
