Accounts Payable Specialist

The Company

Versaterm is a PE-backed, high-growth SaaS company building a fully integrated platform across the entire public safety ecosystem — dispatch, law enforcement, forensics, courts, and beyond. We've grown through strategic acquisitions and deep product investment. What connects all of it is a single purpose: give public safety agencies the tools and insights to make better decisions in high-stakes moments.

When a 911 call is answered, a detective investigates a case, or a forensic lab processes evidence, there's a good chance our software is working behind the scenes. That's been true for over four decades.

AI is central to where we're going. Not as a feature but as core infrastructure. We're embedding intelligence directly into the workflows our customers rely on every day, and we're doing it alongside them. Our customers tell us what the mission demands. We build what answers it.

This work attracts a specific kind of person — someone who wants to be pushed by great people, build things that outlast a sprint cycle, and go home knowing the work connected back to something real.

The Role

The Accounts Payable Specialist is responsible for day-to-day AP processing with added scope, complexity, and independence.

• Proactively identify opportunities to improve and automate AP processes, and help design, test, and implement solutions that improve efficiency, accuracy, scalability, and internal controls.
• Support the implementation and optimization of automated AP workflows, including invoice intake, coding, approval routing, and payment processes.
• Support enhancements to SAP Concur and other finance systems, including troubleshooting workflow issues, testing new configurations and implementing process improvements.
• Analyze AP data to help identify recurring issues, process gaps, or opportunities to improve efficiency.

• Review and verify employee expense reports, including escalations or out-of-policy submissions.
• Ensure timely vendor payments in alignment with internal controls, company policies, and contracts.

• Effective time management and organizational skills, with the ability to meet deadlines and prioritize multiple tasks.
• Proficiency with ERP/accounting systems (e.g., Sage Intacct, SAP, Oracle, NetSuite) and advanced Excel skills. Experience with SAP Concur or AP automation platforms is considered a strong asset.
