Accounts Payable Specialist

### **About the Role** Own accounts payable end to end at a fast-scaling AI-hardware company. As our dedicated AP Specialist, you’ll be the person vendors and employees actually deal with — processing invoices, running payments, onboarding new suppliers, and managing travel and expense. Reporting to the Controller, you’ll take AP from a shared responsibility to a real function with clean process behind it. This is a hands-on role at a company where the vendor base is unusually complex: foundries and OSAT partners overseas, contract manufacturers, EDA and IP licensors, lab equipment, and a team that travels internationally to make all of it happen. ### **What You’ll Do** **Accounts Payable Operations** - Own the full AP cycle — invoice intake, coding, approval routing, three-way match against POs and receipts, and payment runs - Manage vendor onboarding and maintenance: W-9 and W-8BEN-E collection, banking details, payment terms, and keeping the vendor master clean and accurate - Partner with Supply Chain and Procurement on PO matching, receipts, and invoice discrepancies — and be the person who chases them down - Process international and multi-currency payments, including wires, and track FX and fee impacts **Travel and Credit card Operations** - Run the travel and expense program: expense report review and approval, corporate card administration, policy compliance, and employee support - Support domestic and international travel logistics and booking, including trips to foundry, OSAT, and manufacturing partners **General Accounting and Reporting** - Perform month end and quarter end close activities — journal entries, accruals, amortization reconciliations, aging review, and vendor statement reconciliation - Perform fixed asset accounting including capitalization, depreciation, asset verification per accounting policies - Prepare and review balance sheet reconciliations and month-over-month flux analysis, with clear written explanations of drivers for the Controller - Serve as the primary contact for vendor inquiries and payment status, and keep those relationships smooth - Prepare 1099 filings and support annual audit requests with clean documentation - Build and document AP and T&E policies, controls, and workflow as the company grows ### **What We’re Looking For** - 3+ years of accounts payable experience, ideally at a high-growth company - Hands-on with an ERP or accounting system (NetSuite, QuickBooks, or equivalent) and AP automation tools (, Ramp, Brex, Coupa, or similar) - Experience administering a travel and expense platform (Navan, Expensify, Brex, or similar) - Strong Excel skills and comfort reconciling high transaction volume accurately - Detail-oriented and organized, with genuine ownership of your close deadlines - Clear, service-minded communicator — you’ll be the face of finance to both vendors and employees - Comfortable building process where none exists yet, and improving it as volume grows - (Optional) International and multi-currency payments, W-8BEN-E and withholding, or 1099 filing experience - (Optional) Hardware, manufacturing, or semiconductor industry background - (Optional) Experience supporting an audit or implementing AP automation Full compensation packages are based on candidate experience and relevant certifications. California pay range $95,000—$120,000 USD ### Compensation Final offers depend on level, location, and skills relevant to the role.
