Responsibilities

The Accounts Payable Analyst is responsible for accurate processing and coding of invoices and expense reports in a timely manner.

You’ll be responsible for monitoring the Accounts Payable inbox, processing vendor invoices, responding to A/P inquiries, managing employee expense reports, and monitoring credit card transactions and compliance.

In addition to AP and general accounting responsibilities, you’ll work with vendors to sign them up for e-payment to ensure timely delivery, as well as work through any other issues a vendor may have (ie. invoice not approved internally, routed to wrong approver, invoice not received).

You will have an opportunity to make a real impact by driving process improvement and system implementation efforts to streamline operations and improve the quality of the accounts payable process.

Working directly with FP&A, you’ll gain insight into the operations of the business and your impact on Newsela’s financial statements.

Your work will directly enable Newsela to grow and scale efficiently, and will ultimately help increase our ability to get engaging, culturally responsive learning content into K-12 schools and districts nationwide.
