Overview of Accounts Payable Manager role:
A well-established and highly stable real estate management organization is seeking an Accounts Payable Manager to lead and evolve its property-related AP function.

The Accounts Payable manager will oversee a high volume of monthly invoices, roughly 10,000 with a team of direct and indirect reports totaling 20 individuals.
