What an accounts payable specialist actually owns
- Invoice intake, coding, and approval routing
- Three-way matching and exception resolution
- Payment run preparation and scheduling
- Vendor statement reconciliation and inquiry handling
- Aging reports and accrual support at close
What we test before you meet anyone
- A coding exercise on ambiguous invoices with no obvious GL account
- How they respond to a vendor bank-detail change request, which is the most common fraud vector in AP
- Three-way match discipline: PO, receipt, invoice
- AP automation exposure: Bill.com, Ramp, Melio, or an ERP module
Where accounts payable specialist searches usually go wrong.
The role is judged on almost nothing going wrong, so candidates look identical on paper and fraud awareness is the real differentiator. A surprising number would process a change of bank details from a supplier email without ever picking up the phone to verify it.
