Job Description

Description :

Do you love clean ledgers, happy vendors, and on-time payments?

We do, too. If reconciling, resolving, and relentlessly improving AP processes is your jam, come help us build a smarter Procure-to-Pay (P2P) function—moving approvals before we buy so our spend is controlled, our cycle times fly, and our vendors adore working with us.

What you’ll do

• Run AP operations end-to-end : process invoices, match POs, code expenses, and manage weekly payments.
• Be the vendor champion : resolve inquiries, discrepancies, and payment issues while maintaining strong relationships.
• Drive process improvements : identify bottlenecks, reduce costs, and strengthen compliance across AP workflows.
• Collaborate and reconcile : partner with internal teams for approvals, ensure accurate month-end close, and support audits.
• Manage data and compliance : oversee vendor onboarding, maintain data integrity, and ensure positive pay and licensing requirements are met.
• Analyze and innovate : turn AP data into insights, recommend enhancements, and help build a forward-thinking Procure-to-Pay function.

Why you’ll love it here

At Sprague Pest Solutions , we’re more than a pest control company—we’re a team of passionate professionals who care about each other and our clients. We offer competitive pay, great benefits, and a chance to be part of something meaningful. You’ll join a collaborative team that values accuracy, efficiency, and continuous improvement. Expect real ownership, support from smart peers, and the chance to shape how money moves through the business— from request to reconciliation .
