Role
Who you are
- 8+ years of direct, hands-on AP experience in high-volume environments
- 4+ years of accounting/bookkeeping experience with a rock-solid understanding of debits, credits, and GAAP
- Public Company Experience: Prior experience with a 3 or 4-day close and the associated reporting rigors is highly preferred
- Software Proficiency: Demonstrated experience with Tier 1 or Tier 2 ERP systems (NetSuite, SAP, Oracle) and automation tools like Stampli or Tropic
- The "Owner" Mindset: Exceptional organizational and time-management skills; you are someone who sets the pace rather than following it
- Resilience: Proven ability to remain calm and effective in a fast-paced environment characterized by daily shifting priorities and "fire drills"
What the job involves
- DAT is seeking a battle-tested Accounts Payable Manager who thrives in high-pressure environments and is ready to OWN our AP function
- This is not a "maintenance" role. We operate with a rigorous 3-day month-end close and face daily "fire drills" that require immediate action, expert communication, and total accountability
- You will be the primary point of contact for both internal stakeholders and external vendors, treating both as vital customers of the AP department
- High-Velocity Financial Operations: Execute a 3-day month-end close with 100% accuracy
- Prepare and manage previous day cash reports to ensure real-time visibility for leadership
- Manage complex intercompany reconciliations, ensuring all balances across subsidiaries are accurate and eliminated properly
- Daily Ownership & "Fire Drills": Serve as the front line for all AP-related emergencies
- You are expected to identify, address, and resolve issues (the "fire drills") daily without the need for constant escalation
- Complex Reconciliations: Lead the end-to-end virtual and physical credit card reconciliation process
- Track, record, and reconcile all prepaid expenses and related accruals
- Perform deep-dive reconciliations for AP and related general ledger accounts
- Acquisition & System Integration: Play a lead role in the financial integration of newly acquired entities, harmonizing their AP policies with our public-company standards
- ERP System Implementation: We are currently in the process of a Netsuite implementation, and this role will be instrumental in the implementation and data migration process
- You will serve as a key stakeholder, providing crucial input to lead the design and configuration of the AP function within the new system
- Stakeholder & Vendor "Customer Service": Maintain a high level of professional communication, treating internal departments and external vendors as customers
- Resolve payment discrepancies and inquiries with urgency and a service-oriented mindset
- Department Leadership: Lead and mentor the AP team (including AP Clerk), overseeing daily processing of invoices, payments (ACH, wire, checks), and expense reports
