Accounts Payable​/Accounts Receivable Manager

About Ykira Financial Services

Ykira Financial Services is a modern financial operations and advisory firm supporting fast-growing, service-based businesses. We partner with companies ranging from $5M to $50M in annual revenue, delivering strategic accounting, finance, and fractional CFO services that drive clarity, control, and confident decision‑making.

We’re looking for an AR/AP Manager who is not just process‑driven, but strategic, solution‑oriented, and proactive, someone who sees accounts receivable and payable as a critical lever for cash flow, scalability, and operational excellence.

We are seeking an Accounts Receivables/Accounts Payable Manager to join our Core team and play a critical role in maintaining financial accuracy, optimizing cash flow, and ensuring seamless accounts receivable and payable processes across multiple client portfolios. This is not a typical transactional Accounts Receivable /Accounts Payable role, we’re looking for someone who thinks strategically, identifies process improvements, and proactively solves problems before they become issues.

You’ll work directly with our CFO, Controller, Senior Accountant and Senior Finance Analyst to support our fractional accounting practice, ensuring every dollar is tracked, every payment is processed efficiently, and every stakeholder feels cared for. If you thrive on variety, precision, and making a tangible impact on multiple businesses simultaneously, this is your role.
