Accounts Receivable Analyst

About Slate

At Slate, we’re building safe, reliable vehicles that people can afford, personalize and love—and doing it here in the USA as part of our commitment to reindustrialization. The spirit of DIY and customization runs throughout every element of a Slate, because people should have control over how their trucks look, feel, and represent them.

We are seeking a detail-oriented Accounts Receivable Analyst to support Slate's AR Manager in building and operating the AR function across reservation deposits, vehicle sales, and merchandise. Reporting to the Accounts Receivable Manager, this role performs the daily transactional work that keeps billing accurate and timely, cash application accurate, customer balances clean, and AR close on schedule. The ideal candidate brings strong AR fundamentals, a collaborative mindset, and the ability to thrive in a fast-moving environment where processes are still being built.

• Execute daily cash applications across reservation deposits, vehicle balance payments, and merchandise sales, ensuring every cash event ties to the correct customer and order in SAP.
• Process refunds, chargebacks, and cancellations accurately and on time, and support the conversion of deposits as customers progress from reservation to delivery.
• Monitor the unapplied cash queue, research and resolve exceptions, and elevate items that cannot be cleared within the established aging threshold.
• Maintain accurate customer AR balances, resolving discrepancies with customers, payment processors, and internal teams as they arise.
• Monitor the invoicing pipeline for integration breaks between the order management system, payment processors, and SAP; identify and document discrepancies, drive resolution with the relevant system partners and internal teams and elevate to the AR Manager when breaks cannot be cleared within the established threshold.
• Run and review the AR aging report on a regular cadence, identify overdue and at‑risk balances, and contact customers directly to resolve open items; document outreach activity and outcomes, and elevate accounts that are unresponsive or require commercial judgment to the AR Manager.
• Help build the AR function from the ground up: the playbook does not exist yet and you will help write it. That means designing cash application procedures, customer deposit workflows, invoicing standards, and close checklists that work on day one and hold up as Slate scales.

• Prepare daily and monthly AR reconciliations across payment processors, auto financing partners, and bank accounts, clearing breaks at the source and documenting resolution steps.
• Support AR month‑end close, including preparation of customer deposit liability schedules, AR aging analysis, and processor and lender receivable reconciliations under the direction of the AR Manager.
• Assemble AR‑related close‑time disclosure inputs in accordance with Slate's Cash Policy and Customer Deposits Standard Operating Procedure.
• Track and report on key AR metrics (Days Sales Outstanding, unapplied cash aging, exception rates) to support the AR Manager's reporting to Accounting and Treasury leadership.
• Prepare and submit manual journal entries supporting AR close, including customer deposit liability adjustments, reclassifications, and accruals, attaching appropriate support and routing for manager approval in accordance with Slate's Delegation of Authority.

• Prepare and maintain process narratives, control evidence, and reconciliation work papers in support of Slate's SOX‑readiness program
• Complete reviewer sign‑off checklists and maintain evidence of retention in line with AR control requirements, flagging any gaps or exceptions to the AR Manager.
• Keep desk procedures current as systems and processes evolve, contributing to the AR team's institutional knowledge base.

• Participate in user acceptance testing for system changes that touch customer payments, customer balances, or the AR sub‑ledger.
• Submit configuration and support tickets to payment processors, financing partners,…
