Accounts Payable Specialist

Summary Temporal is at an interesting point — growing fast, expanding globally, and building the finance infrastructure to match. AP is a high-volume, high-accountability function here: a large and growing vendor base, multi-currency transactions, and a steady stream of inquiries from across the business. We need someone who takes pride in keeping all of that running cleanly, on time, every cycle — without being asked.   You’ll own full-cycle AP in Bill.com, manage vendor relationships, administer the expense program in Navan, and be the go-to for payment questions from Finance, HR, Legal, and the broader business. This role is for someone who is deeply organized and self-directed. What You'll Do Full-Cycle AP Operations     Own end-to-end invoice processing in Bill.com — intake, GL coding, 2-way and 3-way PO matching, approval routing, and payment execution via ACH, wire, check, and international wire     Review and reconcile vendor statements monthly; identify and resolve discrepancies, duplicate payments, and open credits in a timely manner     Manage payment runs on a consistent schedule; ensure all payments are properly authorized, documented, and recorded in Rillet (our GL system of record)     Own 1099 preparation and filing — maintain W-9s and TIN documentation throughout the year, produce accurate 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC filings, and respond to IRS notices as needed     Process invoices across multiple legal entities as international subsidiaries come online — apply the correct entity, currency, and intercompany treatment to each transaction     Support prepaid schedule tracking and AP accrual entries as part of month-end close; flag unprocessed invoices and ensure the books reflect actual obligations Vendor Management     Onboard new vendors from end to end — collect W-9s and banking information, set up vendor records in Bill.com, verify payment details before the first disbursement     Maintain the vendor master with current payment instructions, contact details, and tax documentation; audit the vendor list periodically to identify inactive or duplicate records     Serve as the primary point of contact for vendor payment inquiries — respond accurately and promptly, and escalate disputes or discrepancies to the appropriate internal stakeholder     Monitor and manage the AP inbox; triage incoming invoices, statements, and vendor correspondence so nothing falls through the cracks T&E and Expense Management     Administer the employee expense reimbursement process in Navan — review submissions for policy compliance, coding accuracy, and required receipts; approve or flag exceptions consistently     Manage the corporate card program in coordination with Finance and HR — handle card issuance and termination, monitor spend against policy, and reconcile card transactions monthly     Identify recurring policy violations or process friction and bring solutions to the Senior Accounting Manager — the expense process should get cleaner every quarter, not stay the same     Prepare monthly T&E reporting and variance analysis for department heads and Finance leadership Month-End Close     Prepare and post AP accrual journal entries in Rillet; ensure all invoices received but not yet processed are captured before close     Reconcile the AP subledger to the GL monthly; investigate and resolve any variances before books are closed     Review aged payables and unapplied credits; proactively resolve items before they age beyond 60 days     Support the annual EY audit by preparing AP aging schedules, vendor reconciliations, payment support, and any other documentation requested by auditors What You’ll Need     3+ years of full-cycle accounts payable experience; prior experience at a high-growth tech company is a strong plus     Proven ability to manage high invoice volume without losing accuracy — you stay organized, hit payment deadlines consistently, and keep the queue clear     Hands-on experience with Bill.com or a comparable AP automation platform (Tipalti, Airbase, or similar); Bill.com experience is strongly preferred given that’s what we run     Experience administering a T&E or expense platform — Navan, Concur, Expensify, or similar; you've audited expense reports and enforced a policy, not just processed reimbursements     Experience with a modern cloud ERP — Rillet, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, or equivalent; you understand how AP flows into the general ledger and what a clean subledger looks like     Strong Excel and Google Sheets skills — you're comfortable building reconciliations, pivot tables, and AP aging analysis from scratch without a template     Working knowledge of 1099-NEC/MISC reporting requirements, W-9 collection and TIN matching, and the basics of sales/use tax applicability     Comfortable holding the line on expense policy — you can tell an employee their submission doesn’t meet policy clearly and without drama, and you don’t cave under pushback     Clear, proactive communication across functions — Finance, HR, Legal, and vendors all need different things from AP, and you know how to calibrate     High attention to detail and genuine ownership mentality — AP errors have downstream consequences for vendors, the close, and the audit, and you take that seriously     Experience with a procure-to-pay or spend management platform such as Zip, Coupa, Airbase, or Ramp   Preferred:     Multi-entity or multi-currency AP experience — you've processed invoices across legal entities and know how intercompany and FX coding work in practice     Experience supporting a financial statement audit — you’ve prepared AP schedules, aging reports, and reconciliations for external auditors and know what clean documentation looks like   Compensation The estimated pay range for this role is $100,000 - $150,000 depending on experience and location. Additionally, this role is eligible to participate in Temporal’s equity plan.
