Accounts Receivable​/Billing Manager

My client is seeking a hands-on Accounts Receivable Manager to lead and scale our centralized, multi-region billing and collections team. In this role, you will build systems rather than just run a department. You will own the outbound billing lifecycle, partner closely with the Assistant Controller on cash application, and directly drive sustained DSO reduction. This is a lead-by-example position for a builder who works alongside their team, standardizes processes, and handles complex escalations firsthand.

• Optimize Billing & Collections:
  Standardize playbooks for all billing types (AIA/progress, fixed-price, T&M, recurring). Own the AIA framework end-to-end, including schedules of values, G702/G703 apps, retainage, and portal submissions (Textura, Procore).
• Drive AR Automation:
  Serve as business owner for Quadient AR, maximizing automated workflows, dunning cadences, and integration with Sage Intacct and Connect Wise.
• Team Leadership:
  Coach a centralized team, establish KPIs, and implement cross-training to eliminate single-point dependencies.
• Cash Posting & Accounting Partnership:
  Collaborate with the cash posting team to resolve unapplied cash and short-pays. Own multi-state sales tax accuracy and exemption certificate management via Avalara.
• M&A Integration:
  Direct the customer-facing AR transition for newly acquired businesses, including data conversion, tax cutovers, and customer communication.
• Reporting & Forecasting:
  Deliver trusted AR aging, DSO, and cash forecasting metrics for leadership, month-end close, and external audits

• Experience:
  
  7+ years in AR/collections, with 3+ years in a leadership role. Experience in construction, systems integration, or field services is strongly preferred.
• AIA Expertise:
  Deep familiarity with construction progress billing, lien waivers, and general contractor portals.
• Tech Stack:
  Proficiency with Sage Intacct (or similar ERP), Quadient AR (Yay Pay/similar automation), and Avalara tax software. Advanced Excel skills required.
• M&A Exposure:
  Experience managing AR integrations and customer transitions during company acquisitions. Private Equity (PE) background is a plus.
• Mindset: A roll-up-your-sleeves leader who balances tactical, day-to-day execution with strategic process improvement.

Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business preferred
