This role works closely with sales, customer service, and management to ensure timely payment processing, resolve discrepancies, and maintain accurate financial records. The position reports to the accounting leadership team and plays a key role in driving clear visibility into receivables and strengthening internal controls. Key Responsibilities Generate and issue accurate invoices, ensuring alignment with contractual agreements and shipment details. Record, apply, and reconcile customer payments within the company ERP system. Conduct proactive follow-up on overdue accounts, resolve billing discrepancies, and coordinate with internal teams to clarify payment issues. Reconcile customer accounts, research unapplied cash or credits, and maintain accurate receivable records. Prepare aging reports and receivable metrics; present insights on trends and outstanding balances. Communicate promptly and professionally with customer accounts payable teams regarding invoices and payments. Maintain complete documentation of transactions, communications, and resolutions. Identify and recommend process improvements to enhance efficiency and reduce days sales outstanding (DSO). Utilize customer portals (e.g., large enterprise platforms) to retrieve invoices, remittances, and payment details as needed. Work primarily within Excel, the ERP system, and standard office tools. Required Skills & Attributes Strong communication skills and the ability to work cross?functionally. High attention to detail with strong problem?solving abilities.

Comfortable investigating discrepancies and independently tracking down answers across internal teams. Strong communicator who can collaborate effectively with sales and accounts payable contacts. Either someone seeking a long-term, stable AR role or someone who is interested in future growth opportunities-both profiles are welcome. Not a collections-heavy role; the emphasis is on reconciliation, accuracy, and follow?through. Why This Opportunity Stands Out Stable, growing manufacturing company with a strong culture.
