Accounting Manager

Description We are looking for an experienced Accounting Manager to lead and strengthen bill-to-cash operations for a Long-term Contract position based in Seattle, Washington. This opportunity is ideal for a hands-on leader who can improve cash flow performance, bring structure to complex accounting processes, and build more scalable ways of working across billing, cash application, and collections. The person in this role will help enhance reporting accuracy, support operational readiness for future system initiatives, and maintain strong day-to-day execution in a fast-moving environment.

Responsibilities:

- Direct bill-to-cash activities across invoicing, cash posting, and collections to improve overall financial performance and operational consistency.

- Evaluate current workflows and implement more efficient, standardized procedures that reduce manual effort and strengthen control over receivables.

- Lead data cleansing initiatives to improve the quality, completeness, and dependability of accounting and operational reporting.

- Create and refine KPI dashboards and management reports that provide visibility into collections trends, aging, and process effectiveness.

- Drive improvements in cash conversion by addressing bottlenecks, resolving unapplied cash issues, and strengthening collection strategies.

- Partner with internal stakeholders to align accounting processes with project-based and contract-driven billing requirements.

- Increase team capacity and productivity by optimizing work allocation, documenting procedures, and identifying opportunities for process automation.

- Support business and system transformation efforts, including readiness activities related to ERP implementation, while ensuring ongoing operational stability. Requirements - 6+ years of experience leading accounts receivable, bill-to-cash, or order-to-cash operations with broad process ownership.

- Background in construction, manufacturing, or other project-based environments with complex revenue and billing structures.

- Practical experience managing milestone, percentage-of-completion, contract-based, or similarly sophisticated billing models.

- Proven success improving collections results, reducing aging, accelerating billing cycles, or strengthening cash flow outcomes.

- Strong working knowledge of cash application, unapplied cash resolution, account reconciliation, journal entries, and month-end close support.

- Experience leading data integrity or data cleanup efforts and producing reliable KPI and operational reporting.

- Familiarity with system implementations or process transformation initiatives, including ERP platforms such as D365.

- Ability to work independently, bring structure to ambiguous situations, and deliver measurable operational improvements with limited oversight.
