About the Role

  • Own the monthly close activities of AR subledger-to-general-ledger reconciliations.
  • Prepare, analyze, and communicate AR performance metrics and trends, including aging, collection, DSO, past-due exposures, deductions, and cash application performance.
  • Support internal and external audits by providing timely, accurate, and well-supported documentation.
  • Identify root causes of recurring customer issues, deductions, payment delays, and process breakdowns and partner with cross-functional teams to implement sustainable corrective actions.
  • Lead initiatives to streamline, standardize, and automate AR process, reducing manual efforts, with improving accuracy, with a focus on AI initiatives.
  • Lead, develop, and support the AR team by establishing clear priorities, accountability, performance expectations, and development opportunities.
  • Promote cross-training, documentation, and knowledge sharing to strengthen team capabilities and business continuity.

Requirements

  • 5-7+ years of progressive AR, credit and collections, or related accounting function, including experience in a complex or high-volume environment.
  • Prior experience managing or developing an AR team preferred.
  • Strong understanding of AR processes, cash application, collections, account reconciliations, financial controls, and credit risks.
