o Track approval status, monitor aging, and proactively identify actions to reduce DSO and support Summit’s cash flow objectives.
o Resolve billing discrepancies by collaborating with clients, vendors, and internal departments.
o Maintain organized and audit‑ready billing files to support internal audits, client audits, and monthly financial reviews.
Accounts Payable Support
o Partner with Site Office Managers and/or the Accounts Payable Manager to perform initial invoice reviews within the company’s ERP system.
o Verify accuracy of quantities, pricing, delivery confirmations, and purchase‑order compliance.
o Ensure prompt posting of project costs to maintain accurate job‑cost reporting and prevent delays in billing or forecasting.

o Coordinate project closeout financial activities, including reconciliations, cost validation, and documentation retrieval.
