AR​/Collections Senior Accountant

AR/Collections Senior Accountant

Dallas, TX - 4 days onsite

Vaco has partnered with one of our large, PE-backed distribution clients that has doubled in size and revenue in the last couple of years to help find a Senior Collections Accountant. This role will be focused on high-priority national commercial collections accounts as well as full cycle accounts receivable (accruals, reconciliations, credit memos, escalations, audit).

This team rolls up to a fantastic CFO that we've worked with for years - she is known for building up really strong cultures and people love working with/for her. Culture super important - smaller group, like to get along with each other, learn from the team, build/feed off of each other while working independently (sense of humor huge plus).
