Suggestions for Searching for This Profile

• Technical assessment: At this level, it is recommended to include a practical case involving the resolution of a cash flow issue or a complex tax compliance scenario in a foreign country.

The main responsibilities typically include managing collections and the accounts receivable cycle, ensuring proper payment application, overseeing reconciliations and closings, and maintaining indicators such as DSO and cash flow.

• Lead, train, and develop the AR team by setting goals, monitoring performance, and driving continuous improvement.
• Follow up on aging reports, KPIs, SLAs, and results for finance leadership.
• Work with other areas such as Sales, Credit, Legal, Operations, and Treasury to resolve disputes, block or release credit, and address root causes.
