TARTA has recently embarked on a transformational journey following the passage of Issue 12 in 2021. This local sales tax levy has significantly increased investment into the transit authority and expanded its service area to all of Lucas County and the City of Rossford in Wood County. In response to the community's renewed focus and support, the Board adopted "TARTA Next," a ten-year plan designed to increase services, invest in capital assets such as new mobility hubs and a zero-emissions bus fleet, and improve the customer experience through technology, infrastructure, and outreach.
This transformation is well underway, powered by a dedicated team of professionals ranging from the leadership team to every front-line member. As the organization grows, the finance department plays a vital role in ensuring the accuracy and integrity of financial records to support these ambitious goals.
The Accounts Payable Associate is a crucial member of the finance team, reporting to the Senior Accounting Manager. This position is designed to support the department's operational needs by managing accounts payable tasks, maintaining precise records, and contributing to both month-end and year-end audit processes.
You will be part of a fast-paced environment where attention to detail and reliability are paramount. Your day-to-day work involves verifying purchase orders, posting transactions to ledgers, and ensuring vendor invoices are matched, coded, and paid accurately. Beyond transactional duties, you will help document and maintain Accounts Payable processes, monitor office supplies, and assist with audit requests. This role offers the opportunity to grow professionally through continuous training, workshops, and networking events while working within a team committed to the future of public transit.
