Chasing is most of the day
Plenty of people picture AP as a queue of invoices to key in. Read the duties: reconciliation aging, follow-ups with requestors and approvers, backups for every discrepancy you raise, quality checks on invoices someone else entered. A chunk of the week goes on email asking people to approve or explain something.
That suits someone who keeps a list and works it down. If nudging senior people for answers grates, this will wear on you.
Brush up on matching and exceptions
Learn how a PO invoice differs from a non-PO one. The first is matched against the purchase order and the goods receipt; the second needs approval for spend nobody raised an order for. Then the exceptions: quantity shortfalls, price mismatches, missing receipts, duplicate submissions.
Know why duplicate payment checks exist and how a high dollar transaction report is put together in Excel. Payment terms, debit and credit notes, a basic journal entry. Any internship where you reconciled a ledger belongs on your CV.
It sits on the payment side
This sits on the vendor and payment side, away from general ledger and month-end close. AP owns getting invoices validated and paid on terms while the aging stays clean, and anyone who takes it expecting statement work finds it narrow. The depth comes from handling exceptions at volume: short payments, disputed lines, vendors chasing you for status.
Fix the office and shift early
The location line says India, so settle which office and which shift before you accept. Accounts payable for overseas clients runs on their calendar, and late shifts are standard in shared services centres. Ask what the current SLAs and KPIs are for this team, since those numbers define a good month here.
