Accounts Payable Lead

Support the finance team with core accounting tasks, including T&E, AP, bank reconciliations, and cash payments. Loft wants someone who’s ready to take ownership, work independently, and hit the ground running. In addition to T&E and AP ownership, the position will also be responsible for designing, documenting and implementing process improvements within those areas. This is a part-time position, but during the initial onboarding and ramp-up period, the role will require a temporary increase in hours to support key projects. Over time, the schedule will transition to a steady part-time cadence.

Ensuring bills are processed correctly, payments are made on time, and vendor records are up to date, proactively handling the AP email inbox, responding to inquiries, and escalating issues when needed, completing reconciliations accurately and resolving discrepancies. The position requires executing cash payments in the bank without errors and in accordance with company policies, working effectively with finance and other departments to support overall accounting operations, and implementing processes in the T&E software to automate functionality, standardize SOPs within the finance team, and review current processes and automate functionality where possible.
