    Job Description

    Collections Specialist
    Looking for a flexible, part-time accounting role where you can make an immediate impact? This is a great opportunity to step into a hands-on collections position with minimal ramp-up and direct visibility to leadership.



    Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
    • Part-time schedule (10 AM – 2 PM) offering strong work-life balance
    • Direct reporting line to the company President — high visibility role
    • Opportunity to step in and make a measurable impact quickly
    • Minimal red tape — autonomy to manage your workload independently
    • Business casual environment with a relaxed, professional culture



    Key Responsibilities for the Collections Specialist:
    • Perform outbound collections calls to past-due accounts
    • Send and manage follow-up communications via email
    • Generate and send invoices/proof of payment using QuickBooks
    • Track and document collection activity and account status



    Qualifications for the Collections Specialist:
    • Experience using QuickBooks
    • Prior collections or accounts receivable experience
    • Ability to work independently with minimal training
    • Strong attention to detail in tracking payments and communication
