Key Responsibilities
As the sole owner of accounts receivable, this person will manage the entire AR cycle end to end, including:
- Billing: Generate and issue customer invoices accurately and on schedule.
- Collections: Manage the full collections process, following up on past-due accounts to keep aging current.
- Cash Application: Apply incoming payments to open invoices accurately and in a timely manner.
- Cash Receipts Processing: Process and reconcile daily cash receipts.
- Deduction & Claims Management: Investigate, resolve, and process customer deductions and related claims — this is a heavy, high-volume part of the role. All deductions must be researched and closed out within 5 business days.
- Cross-Training: Work closely with the departing AR Specialist ahead of their 10/1 exit to absorb process knowledge, account nuances, and key customer relationships as thoroughly as possible.
