At MezTal, we are looking for an AP Accountant who can own the accounts payable process end to end, apply accounting judgment, and actively participate in invoice review, follow-up, and capital-related accounting activities.
👉 This is not a transactional AP role.
👉 Accuracy, ownership, and follow-through are more important than volume.
What You Will Do
Accounts Payable Ownership

- Process invoices using AP systems and accounting platforms.

Accounting & Review Responsibilities
- Apply judgment when reviewing invoices, rather than simply posting transactions.

Capital & Project-Related Exposure
- Review invoices related to capital improvements and projects.
- Validate supporting documentation and approvals.
- Assist in determining whether costs should be expensed or capitalized.
- Track project-related activity and support budget monitoring.
You do not need deep CAPEX experience, but you must be comfortable reviewing, questioning, and learning capital-related transactions.
