  • Systems & Program Management :

  • Administer the Concur employee reimbursement system, including troubleshooting and user support.
  • Manage the American Express Corporate Card Program for Travel & Expense cards, including applications, reconciliation and policy compliance.
  • Accounting & Reporting :

  • Prepare and post journal entries related to accounts payable activities.
  • Prepare a weekly payment forecast for U.S. and Canadian operations.
  • Conduct SOX compliance reviews and support internal and external audits.
  • Other Duties :

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Perform ad hoc accounting and reporting tasks as needed.

  • 2+ years of experience in accounts payable or accounting role.
  • Familiarity with US and Canada non-income tax regulations and reporting requirements.
  • Experience with Concur, Coupa, Oracle, or similar ERP systems.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Experience with SOX compliance and audit support.
  • Knowledge of U.S. Unclaimed Property laws and 1099 reporting.
  • Compensation and Benefits
