I manage and supervise our Accounts Payable team, handling full cycle payables, mid- and end-of-month reporting, synch entries, and JV bill-backs. Bank fee reconciliations, payables for multiple development projects, massively large bulk payment projects including Delaware Taxes and Statutory Rep Fee invoices are also responsibilities that I handle.I have saved our clients more than $60,000 in various vendor service fees over the last 3 years. (more to come, pausing for the night to collect data)

My responsibilities at Standish are currently, predominantly, Accounts Payable work, processing full cycle payables for more than 10 disparate entities. This includes working to ensure proper coding, approvals and payments for all invoices through Bill.com, and communicating with the fund accountants regarding proper funding of bank accounts to meet that end. I maintain vendors, users and access for more than 100 people, and train internal users on Bill.com functionality as well.I work directly with vendors to navigate and schedule invoice downloads in excess of 1000 invoices at a time. My responsibilities also include issuing manual checks for tax payments for many of these entities. Twice monthly I create the payables journal entries for all entities with relevant backup attached. I'm currently in training to handle a new project for a new entity, and am working hand-in-hand my superiors, the client, and a third party software company to get the project up and running. In the year that I've been with Standish I've been able to streamline multiple processes to be markedly less labor intensive, taking work that previously took approximately a month down to less than 2 weeks.
