Accounts Payable Coordinator Duties and Responsibilities
Accounts payable coordinators are sources of knowledge about how to go about getting money that is due. As they interact with vendors, company employees, and other people, the following are some of their chief responsibilities:
Handling Paperwork Whether it’s an invoice from a vendor or a reimbursement request from an employee, if it involves a check being issued, chances are it will pass through the hands of an accounts payable coordinator to examine for accuracy and ensure the proper authorizing signature. Information on each transaction is inputted into the system so that tabs can be kept on the process and accounts as a whole can be monitored. Especially important is checking for correct coding so that money is withdrawn from the correct account to issue payment.
Resolving Complaints Someone who hasn’t received payment in a timely manner may contact the accounts payable coordinator to determine the cause of the delay. This professional will look into the matter by examining the information on hand and contacting the appropriate people, such as a manager who needs to sign off before a check can be issued. Similarly, if an accounts payable coordinator notices an error, such as being charged for an item that never arrived in a specific shipment, he or she will notify the seller so that the amount due can be corrected.
Answering Questions Members of the company may come to an accounts payable coordinator seeking information on matters such as how to document expenses, which account numbers to use for specific purchases, and which forms are necessary to fill out. Similarly, vendors may contact accounts payable coordinators to ask about the company’s billing preferences or how to speed up payment. Auditors may turn to accounts payable coordinators when doing their work for help obtaining information and documentation.
Overseeing Staff Accounts payable coordinators monitor the actions and performance of others under their charge, such as accounting clerks and assistants. They train them in the company’s procedures and help them resolve any issues.
Accounts Payable Coordinator Skills
Since they deal with money, accounts payable coordinators should be good with numbers and basic mathematical calculations. They also need to be detail oriented to spot inaccuracies. Other qualities hiring managers like to see in candidates for accounts payable coordinator positions include:
- Multitasking with ease in order to handle information and demands coming in from various directions
- Organizing effectively to deal with vast amounts of paperwork
- Communicating efficiently so that others understand how to go about submitting requests and receiving payment
- Prioritizing to ensure the most pressing payments are made quickly
- Following directions and procedures to keep operations flowing properly
Accounts Payable Coordinator Education and Training
Accounts payable coordinators typically hold a high school diploma, and many have post-secondary training in bookkeeping and related subjects. An associate’s degree in accounting can enhance job prospects. New hires should expect a period of on-the-job-training.
Accounts Payable Coordinator Salary
The median annual salary for accounts payable coordinators, classified by the BLS under “billing and posting clerks,” is $36,150. Accounts payable coordinators in the 10th percentile earn about $25,450 a year, and the highest paid make in excess of $52,100 a year. Accounts payable coordinators in the District of Columbia, Connecticut, and Alaska make the highest median salaries in the U.S. – $56,870, $44,880, and $41,250, respectively.
