Accounting Paid Consultant - Invoice Processing & Approval Controls

Role overview

This is a one-time, paid consulting engagement for experienced accounts payable and procure-to-pay professionals who can share practical, real-world knowledge for an AI marketplace project. It is a contract-based assignment rather than a permanent role, and no advance preparation is needed.

The work is fully remote and intended for U.S.-based experts only. Selected participants will take part in a recorded, AI-guided video interview lasting about 30 minutes, focused on how they actually execute invoice-processing and approval-control workflows in practice.

The estimated payment is $90 per hour, prorated for the 30-minute session.

What the interview will cover

• Invoice receipt, OCR or scanning, invoice coding, duplicate checks, and linking invoices to purchase orders
• Processing PO-based and non-PO invoices, including handling exceptions in the 3-way match process
• Approval routing, delegation of authority, delayed approvers, and enforcement of policy rules
• Tracking cycle times, identifying stalled exceptions, and resolving root causes earlier in the process

You will be asked to describe the workflows in depth across invoice intake, coding, matching, exception handling, approval routing, and policy compliance.

Candidate profile

This opportunity is best suited to professionals who can confidently explain these workflows step by step using their own experience and concrete examples. Applicants should have a strong grasp of operational decisions in invoice processing and be comfortable answering detailed questions in a recorded interview.

Experience and background expected

• At least 6 years of experience in accounts payable operations, invoice processing, procure-to-pay shared services, or procurement operations
• Hands-on responsibility for invoice intake, coding, matching, exception resolution, approval routing, and policy enforcement
• Practical involvement in GL coding, tax coding, PO matching, exception escalation, policy compliance, and payment-readiness decisions
• Exposure to finance, strategy, treasury, investor relations, or business-partnering environments
• Comfort explaining processes clearly, logically, and with real examples
• Direct ownership of these workflows in a production business environment
• Familiarity with tools such as Coupa, SAP Ariba, Oracle, NetSuite, Workday Financials, Basware, Concur Invoice, ServiceNow, and Excel

Engagement details

This assignment is project-based. Participants choose their own schedule, use their own equipment to complete the interview, and may take part in other opportunities at the same time. After the interview, your recording and transcript, along with AI-generated insights, will be shared with the internal research team and AI lab partner for task mapping and model-improvement purposes.
