Best Answer:
Beyond the basics, which are pretty obvious, they might include: AP- negotiating terms with suppliers (to get discounts), filing credit applications, reconciling credit card statements to purchase orders, filing tax exempt certificates (if your company is tax emempt) AR- collections calls, bank recs, processing wire transfers, customer service issues if goods are returned for credit All depends on the size of the company and how much overlap there is between departments.

Among other things, Payables and Receivables. Meaning Paying bills, sending bills out and following up to make sure they get paid.
