This is more than a collections role. You'll be responsible for helping drive cash flow, supporting financial reporting, partnering with multiple departments, and developing a team that delivers accurate and timely results every day. If you enjoy solving problems, coaching others, and creating order from complexity, we'd love to talk with you.

Responsibilities include:

• Leading, developing, and supporting Accounts Receivable team members
• Monitoring daily AR activity to ensure accuracy and timely processing
• Overseeing customer billing, supplier invoicing, and account statements
• Reviewing aging reports and helping resolve delinquent accounts
• Investigating billing discrepancies, deductions, chargebacks, and account concerns
• Preparing reporting and metrics related to collections, aging, and cash flow
• Participating in credit reviews and risk management discussions
• Identifying opportunities to improve processes, controls, and efficiency
• Building positive working relationships with customers and internal stakeholders
• Ensuring compliance with company policies and accounting standards, including GAAP

We're seeking someone who combines strong technical accounting knowledge with proven leadership ability.

• 5+ years of Accounts Receivable, Collections, or related accounting experience
• Prior experience leading or supervising a team
• Strong understanding of receivables processes, credit management, and collections
• Advanced Excel skills and experience working within ERP or accounting systems
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities
  
  Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Ability to prioritize effectively in a fast-paced environment
• Confidence in handling difficult conversations while maintaining professionalism and customer relationships

We're a growing organization that values people who take ownership, look for better ways to do things, and enjoy being part of a team. You'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact, help shape processes, and contribute to the continued success of a company that's building for the future.

If you're ready to take the next step in your accounting career and lead a team that plays a vital role in the business, apply today.
