Senior AR Accountant

We are hiring a Senior Accounts Receivable Accountant for a growing company in Norcross, GA. This is an individual contributor role with full ownership of the AR function — you will manage the entire AR cycle, including the AR general ledger, subledger reconciliation, billing, collections, credit management, dispute resolution, and month‑end close. You will be the subject matter expert on everything AR touches, from the first invoice to the final journal entry.

This is not a billing‑only, collections‑only, or cash application‑only role. The right candidate has owned the entire AR function end‑to‑end — including the full accounting and close responsibilities that come with it. Candidates whose AR experience is limited to a single function within a large, siloed AR team will not be a match for this role.

• Manage full-cycle accounts receivable, including invoicing, cash applications, credit memos, collections, and dispute resolution
• Allowance for doubtful accounts, bad debt expense, and write‑off processing — including the journal entries and accounting rationale behind each
• Reconcile the AR subledger to the general ledger and resolve discrepancies
• Support the month‑end and quarter‑end close with journal entries, accruals, and reporting
• Customer credit limit review, credit holds, and order release decisions
• Monitor aging reports and follow up on past‑due accounts (31+ days)
• Lead collections efforts with both domestic and international customers
• Research and resolve billing issues, payment discrepancies, and unapplied cash
• Process and validate credit memos, refunds, and adjustments
• Partner with sales, customer service, and operations to resolve customer and billing issues
• Review and release sales orders based on credit limits and payment history

• 5–8 years of hands‑on, full‑cycle AR end‑to‑end — owning the function, not a piece of it (billing‑only, collections‑only, or cash applications‑only profiles will not be considered)
• Deep understanding of AR accounting: allowance for doubtful accounts, bad debt expense, write‑offs, credit memo impact on revenue, and AR reserve methodology
• Hands‑on experience reconciling the AR subledger to the general ledger
• Hands‑on month‑end experience with journal entries and accruals
• Background in customer credit analysis, collections, dispute resolution, and billing issue resolution
• ERP system experience required (Business Central, SAP, Oracle, Net Suite, or similar)
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field preferred (or equivalent experience)
