Accounts Payable Vendor Dispute Resolution

I need a sharp, detail-minded accounts payable professional to take ownership of our vendor dispute backlog. The assignment centers on vendor management—specifically resolving vendor disputes—within the Accounts Payable cycle.

Right now several suppliers are holding payments because of pricing discrepancies, quantity variances, and missing credits. Your role is to research each claim, gather supporting documents from our ERP, speak with vendors and our purchasing team, and drive every open item to closure. We use QuickBooks Online and Excel for reconciliation, so confidence with both is important.

Deliverables
• Reconciled A/P ageing report with every dispute marked cleared or escalated
• Updated vendor dispute log detailing root cause, actions taken, and resolution date
• Organised folder of all email / call correspondence and backup documents

Acceptance criteria: no invoice older than 30 days remains unresolved, the A/P sub-ledger ties to the general ledger, and vendors confirm disputes are closed.

If you have a track record of shortening dispute cycles while keeping supplier relationships positive, let me know your approach and expected turnaround time.
