Job Overview
Our client is looking for a reliable and detail-oriented Accounts Payable Officer (Xero) to manage a broad, hands-on portfolio spanning both Accounts Payable (AP) support and general accounts processing across multiple corporate entities. In this role, you will act as the central operational driver for inbox management, multi-platform bill processing, automated approval queues, and systematic bank reconciliations.
