Job description

Workplace: 4 days on-site, 1 day flexible/remote

Position Type: Backfill

The Opportunity:

Our client is an established, privately-owned provider of outsourced financial services technology. With decades of operating history and a growing international footprint across North America and Latin America, the organization has built a well-established appraisal management and valuation platform supporting lenders in multiple markets and languages.

This Accounts Receivable Specialist role sits within the finance team, reporting to the Controller, and is central to the accuracy and integrity of billing across multiple business entities. In a high-volume, multi-entity environment, the position owns full-cycle AR — from invoicing through cash application to reconciliation — while working cross-functionally with sales, operations, and IT to keep billing running smoothly.

This is a strong opportunity for a detail-oriented AR professional who wants to build deep, full-cycle ownership in a business with real operational complexity — multiple entities, a high transaction volume, and a mandate to help modernize and document standard processes as the finance function matures.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own end-to-end invoice generation for services clients across multiple entities, keeping pace with a high transaction volume while meeting agreed billing schedules and terms
• Act as the point of contact for billing-related questions from clients and the sales team, working through disputes and outstanding balances to resolution
• Keep client account and billing details up to date and accurate in the system
• Track aging accounts and drive collections outreach, flagging higher-risk balances to management before they become write-offs
• Work alongside IT to spot and fix invoicing system defects so the billing cycle isn't disrupted
• Match incoming payments to client accounts, keeping cash application current and accurate
• Handle cheque scanning and deposits, keeping a clear record trail for every deposit made
• Reconcile revenue and cost activity each period, including preparing and posting the related accrual entries
• Review client account balances every month, chasing down and clearing up any discrepancies found
• Keep the AR subledger tied out to the general ledger on an ongoing basis
• Post AR-related journal entries and contribute to a smooth month-end close in line with the finance calendar
• Compile AR aging reports each month for the Controller's review
• Stay on top of the AR team inbox so client and internal questions get a timely reply
• Build out documentation for AR procedures and flag opportunities to streamline how the team works

What We Need From You:

• 1–2 years of experience within an Accounts Receivable team in a high-volume environment
• Solid understanding of the full AR cycle, including invoicing, collections, cash application, and reconciliation
• Exceptional attention to detail, with a strong focus on the completeness and accuracy of invoices and account records
• Ability to adapt to and learn new software (proficiency in Sage Intacct is considered an asset)
• Effective communication skills across all levels of an organization
• Comfortable managing multiple priorities and tight deadlines in a fast-paced billing environment
• Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or business considered an asset
• Experience within the appraisal or financial services sector considered an asset
