Accounting Operations

• Our vision: well… build the largest financial market on the planet.

Role Roadmap

Accounting Operations will own accounts payable, travel and expense (T&E), and procurement end to end at a high-growth company. Our expenses are large and growing quickly, transaction volume rises every month, and we onboard new vendors at a high and steady clip, so the processes and controls behind spend have to scale with the business. The role is deliberately broad: run these functions day to day, and make them better. This is a hands-on role because we are building the function. You will own the systems, policies, and controls, step into the day-to-day work when it is needed, and improve the process as you go. A core part of the job is developing the AP team: coaching them, raising the bar on quality, and building the procedures and cross-training that let the group run without depending on any one person.

What You’ll Do

Accounts payable

• Own the full AP cycle: vendor onboarding, invoice coding and approval, payment runs, and vendor inquiries

• Lead month-end AP close: accruals, reconciliations, and cut-off review

• Own vendor master data, including bank-detail change controls and 1099 compliance

Travel and expense

• Own the T&E policy, the expense system, and the corporate card program

• Oversee expense review and reimbursement; address repeat policy exceptions

Procurement

• Run the requisition and PO process so spend is approved before it is committed

• Maintain the approval matrix and partner with budget owners on vendor contracts and renewals

Process improvement and controls

• Document current processes, find the manual steps and bottlenecks, and fix them

• Drive automation across AP, T&E, and procurement (invoice capture, workflow routing, ERP integrations)

• Design and maintain controls over the spend cycle: segregation of duties, approval thresholds, duplicate-payment and vendor-fraud prevention

• Define and report operating metrics (invoice cycle time, share of spend under PO, exceptions, close timing)

• Be the point person for auditors on AP, T&E, and procurement

Team development

• Manage and coach the AP team; set clear goals and give regular feedback

• Build documented procedures and cross-training so coverage does not depend on one person

• Act as the escalation point for vendors, employees, and budget owners

What You Bring

• 5+ years in accounting operations, including time managing AP or a broader procure-to-pay function

• Have run AP and at least one of T&E or procurement

• Have improved a process you owned and can point to the results

• Know the controls that matter in the spend cycle and have put them in place

• Hands-on with an ERP and an AP automation or expense platform (e.g. NetSuite, Bill.com, Coupa, Ramp, Expensify)

• Have managed and developed a small team

Preferred qualifications

• Built a procurement or PO process from end to end

• Worked at a fast-growing company, building processes designed to scale as volume increased.
