About Jewel Small

With over 15 years of hands-on experience in Accounts Payable, I have developed a deep expertise in managing the end-to-end AP process, driving efficiency, and maintaining strong relationships with both internal teams and external vendors. Throughout my career, I have been passionate about ensuring accurate and timely payments, optimizing workflows, and contributing to overall financial accuracy and operational success. In my current role as an Accounts Payable Coordinator, I have gained invaluable experience in processing high-volume invoices, reconciling accounts, and troubleshooting discrepancies. I have also played a key role in streamlining AP operations through automation and process improvements, which have resulted in faster cycle times and increased accuracy. As a team player, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to mentor and support junior staff, and I’m excited about the opportunity to transition into an AP management role where I can further leverage my leadership, process optimization, and cross-functional collaboration skills. I am eager to take on a more strategic role, where I can lead an AP team, drive improvements, and contribute to the success of the larger finance and accounting function. My goal is to help organizations improve their AP processes, reduce costs, and enhance overall financial controls through innovation, team development, and a commitment to continuous improvement. Key strengths include: Accounts Payable Process Optimization AP Automation & System Integration (e.g, SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics) Vendor Relationship Management & Dispute Resolution Team Leadership & Mentorship Financial Reporting & Month-End Close Support Internal Controls & Compliance
