AP Manager

saas.group • Ottawa, ON

9d • Remote

About The Position

This role is part of our Central Finance Team at saas.group. saas.group, established in 2017, is on a mission to turbocharge promising B2B SaaS ventures, unlocking their full potential. As a Software-as-a-Service portfolio powerhouse, we specialize in acquiring small software treasures and polishing them into industry stars. With a dynamic, fully remote team of nearly 400+ colleagues spanning 45 countries we are truly global and we are rewriting the playbook on SaaS innovation and collaboration. We grow 24 exciting brands under our umbrella.

We are looking for our first AP Manager to join our Central Finance team! This is a uniquely hybrid and highly hands-on role. In this role, you will report directly to our Director of Accounting & Tax and own the Accounts Payable function across a rapidly growing group of 15+ international entities.

Because this is the first dedicated AP hire in our central team, the AP function will be built from the ground up. This means you will be responsible for both strategic process/system design and the daily, ground-level execution. You will design the workflows, build the integrations, and implement the internal controls—but you will also be the one directly processing the invoices, coding credit card transactions, and running the payments yourself.

If you are an experienced accounting professional who loves setting up efficient systems but also enjoys rolling up your sleeves to get the daily operational work done, this is the perfect opportunity to make a massive impact.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field with at least 5 years of dedicated experience in accounts payable or general accounting, ideally within a multi-entity environment.
• Hands-on, proficient administration experience with NetSuite and Ramp.
• Proven track record of building, scaling, or heavily optimizing an AP function (including workflows, approvals, and internal controls).
• Active experience leveraging AI tools and automation to optimize financial workflows and eliminate manual processes.
• Good familiarity with VAT treatment and compliance for European entities.
• Exceptional English communication skills, coupled with an independent, highly structured, and analytical approach to remote work.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with Pleo or similar spend/expense management platforms.
• Experience drafting and rolling out company-wide expense policies.
• Experience onboarding newly acquired entities or brands onto shared finance systems.

Responsibilities

• Build & Design the AP Function: Take complete ownership of the AP lifecycle, transitioning responsibilities from GL accountants to build a centralized function from scratch.
• Hands-on AP Operations: Own the day-to-day execution of the AP ledger—manually processing and coding vendor bills, managing credit card transactions, and executing payment runs yourself.
• System Integration & Automation: Streamline workflows across NetSuite, Ramp, and Pleo. Identify automation opportunities using AI and native integrations to make manual data entry as efficient as possible.
• Implement Internal Controls: Design and execute a group-wide approval matrix, expense policy, and system permissions to ensure compliance and proper segregation of duties.
• Reconciliation & Close: Manage month-end accruals, perform AP aging analyses, reconcile credit card accounts, and support the central accounting team during the month-end close.
• Document & Enable: Document standard operating procedures (SOPs) and build lightweight training materials to onboard our brand leaders and central teams onto your newly designed AP processes.

Benefits

• Ultimate flexibility: We’re 100% remote. You can work from wherever you like, whenever you like. You should be available to overlap and work between CET 9:00 ± 2 hours to 18:00 ± 2 hours.
• Freedom and autonomy: We’re a high-trust team, and you’ll be given lots of flexibility to solve problems in your own way — with plenty of help from the team when you need it.
• Minimum bureaucracy: We don’t like to get bogged down with meetings and red tape. We like to be efficient and keep momentum steady & sustainable.
• Small & friendly team: We help each other out, have fun, and joke around.
• Our network: We are a community of entrepreneurial SaaS professionals that regularly exchange ideas, knowledge, learning and expertise with each other internally.
• Flexible time off: We want you to recharge your batteries when needed.
