About the Opportunity:
We’re proactively building a pipeline of strong consultants for an upcoming Accounts Payable (AP) Process Optimization engagement with a confidential, growing SaaS organization. While the project is not yet live, the client anticipates a near-term need for someone who can assess and improve end-to-end AP workflows, strengthen controls, and enhance documentation and execution.
This opportunity will be a strong fit for a consultant who is both process-minded and systems-savvy—able to partner with Accounting and cross-functional stakeholders to identify bottlenecks, recommend and implement practical improvements, and optimize how AP is managed in Sage Intacct. Success will come from strong AP fundamentals, comfort with change management, and the ability to translate business needs into clean, scalable process and system updates.
Duration: Fractional engagement (estimated ~40 total hours over the project)
Location: Remote (PST hours)
Compensation: $75-$100/hr
Please note this range is an estimate and actual pay may vary based on qualifications and experience.
Scope:
• Assess current-state AP processes (invoice intake, coding, approvals, vendor management, payments) and document workflows, pain points, and risks
• Identify and implement opportunities to streamline cycle times, reduce manual effort, and improve visibility and accountability
• Optimize SAGE Intacct AP configuration and usage (workflows/approvals, vendor setup standards, automation opportunities, reporting)
• Develop and deliver process documentation, SOPs, and training materials to support adoption and consistency
• Support internal controls improvements related to vendor setup, invoice approvals, segregation of duties, and audit readiness
• Partner with stakeholders across Accounting, Procurement, Operations, and Finance to align on requirements and drive timely execution
• Build simple, actionable metrics to track process performance (e.g., invoice cycle time, exception rates, approval aging)
Qualifications & Expertise:
• 5+ years of hands-on Accounts Payable experience, including process improvement and optimization work
• Strong SAGE Intacct experience (AP module expertise required; workflow/automation experience strongly preferred)
• Demonstrated ability to map processes, identify root causes, and implement sustainable solutions
• Solid understanding of AP controls and best practices (3-way match concepts, vendor maintenance controls, approval matrices, etc.)
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work with both detail-oriented accounting teams and cross-functional stakeholders
• Advanced Excel skills; experience creating clear reporting and dashboards is a plus
• Consulting background or experience supporting multiple stakeholders in a project environment preferred
