Accounts Payable Clerk – Essential Duties
Posted by Administrator on Apr 1, 2008
An accounts payable clerk is one who manages, plans, and organizes assigned financial activities while complying with standard procedures in accounting.
Some of its essential duties are to manage financial activities, create requisitions, check all invoices for accuracy and check duplicate payments. He or she is tasked to reconcile statements which are submitted periodically to top management, prepare and mail monthly accounts payable warrants, process all federal, state, and local reports as required.
Equally important are his or her duties to sort and distribute incoming and outgoing mail, answering phone, and recording/filing of documentation, respond to public inquiries, and provide information within the area of assignment. As an accounts payable clerk, these should be done in a courteous manner.
