The Senior AR Analyst owns and oversees the end-to-end accounts receivable and cash lifecycle for IT Cloud, an AppDirect Company, with expanded accountability for cash forecasting, variance /flux analytical insights. While the role includes transactional AR execution (Credits, Cash, Collections) it also requires a detailed view to proactively identify issues impacting cash flow, DSO, and revenue accuracy, and to drive continuous improvement across the IT CLoud revenue processes.

• Own the end-to-end accounts receivable lifecycle, including complex cash application (as needed), collections, refunds, write-offs, credit memos, reconciliations, and issue resolution.
• Ensure accurate three-way reconciliation between NetSuite, bank activity, and marketplace data; investigate variances, identify root causes, and recommend corrective actions related to overpayments, short payments, refunds, and chargebacks.
• Identify and mitigate revenue leakage risks, including billing gaps, disputes, unapplied cash, credit exposure, and delayed collections.
• Partner cross-functionally with Account Management, Sales, Customer Success, and Finance to resolve disputes, manage credits, lift holds, and support timely cash collection while maintaining strong customer relationships.
• Own AR and cash application process documentation and SOPs, identifying opportunities for efficiency, automation, and control improvements

Analytical & Forecasting Responsibilities

• Own AR-related inputs into monthly cash flow forecasts, including expected collections, risk adjustments, and variance analysis versus prior forecasts.
• Generate, analyze, and interpret AR Aging, DSO, and key AR KPIs, identifying trends in customer payment behavior and exposure across customer segments.
• Proactively identify accounts at risk of delinquency or credit limit exposure and recommend preventive or corrective actions, including partnership with sales teams on suspension progression and 3rd party collection needs.
• Support the development and enhancement of Finance and AR reporting, including bad debt, credit exposure, churn-related impacts, and credit memo analysis.

Reporting & Communication

• Provide regular updates, insights, and recommendations to Finance and Revenue leadership related to cash flow, collections performance, and AR risk.
• Clearly communicate risks, variances, and proposed actions, supported by data and analysis.
• Escalate overdue, high-risk, or unusual AR issues with clear context and recommended next steps.

What we’re looking for

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 4+ years of progressive experience in accounts receivable, collections, cash application, or AR accounting.
