Job description

Accountant – Accounts Receivable, Invoicing & Financial Operations

Position Type: Full-Time, Remote

Working Hours: U.S. Business Hours

About the Role

At Pavogo, one of our clients is hiring a highly organized and detail-oriented Accountant to support accounts receivable, invoicing, cash flow tracking, financial reporting, and day-to-day financial operations.

This is not a bookkeeping-only role.

You’ll combine hands-on accounting execution with operational ownership and process improvement. A major part of the role is ensuring invoices and payments are tracked accurately while helping leadership improve financial visibility and modernize accounting workflows.

You’ll work across QuickBooks, Excel/Google Sheets, banking and payment platforms, and emerging automation tools to keep financial operations accurate, organized, scalable, and audit-ready.

If you have strong accounts receivable and invoicing experience and enjoy improving financial systems rather than simply maintaining them, this role is a strong fit.

What You’ll Own

Accounts Receivable & Invoicing

Own day-to-day receivables administration and ensure invoices and payments are accurately tracked.

You will:

• Prepare and issue invoices accurately and on schedule.
• Maintain accounts receivable records.
• Monitor outstanding customer balances.
• Review AR aging reports and identify overdue accounts.
• Follow up on outstanding invoices and payment commitments.
• Confirm incoming payments and apply them accurately.
• Maintain organized records of payment activity.
• Track payment schedules and collection status.
• Help reduce overdue receivables through disciplined follow-up.
• Escalate payment issues or discrepancies when appropriate.

Cash Flow & Payment Tracking

• Monitor incoming payments and outgoing transaction activity.
• Maintain accurate cash flow and payment trackers.
• Track banking activity and payment schedules.
• Support treasury and banking coordination as needed.
• Identify discrepancies between expected and received payments.
• Provide leadership with clear visibility into:
  • Receivables
  • Outstanding balances
  • Payment timing
  • Cash activity
  • Operational finance priorities
• Help ensure financial information remains current and decision-ready.

QuickBooks & Accounting Operations

• Maintain accurate accounting records within QuickBooks.
• Support reconciliations and transaction reviews.
• Ensure invoices, payments, and supporting financial records are correctly documented.
• Maintain consistency between accounting systems, spreadsheets, and financial trackers.
• Investigate and resolve accounting discrepancies.
• Keep financial documentation organized and audit-ready.
• Support recurring accounting and reporting activities.

Financial Reporting & Analysis

Prepare and maintain:

• Accounts receivable reports
• AR aging reports
• Cash flow updates
• Payment tracking reports
• Financial summaries
• Operational finance reports

You’ll ensure leadership has accurate and timely information to understand the company’s financial position and make informed decisions.

Accounting Systems & Process Improvement

Help improve how accounting work gets done.

You will:

• Identify inefficient or overly manual accounting processes.
• Recommend scalable improvements.
• Support migration from QuickBooks to modern accounting platforms when required.
• Improve workflows around:
  • Invoicing
  • Payment tracking
  • Reconciliations
  • Reporting
  • Financial documentation
• Create and improve accounting SOPs.
• Standardize recurring financial processes.
• Help reduce errors and repetitive manual work.

Automation & AI-Assisted Accounting

Support the modernization of financial operations through technology.

You will:

• Use automation tools to streamline recurring accounting tasks.
• Explore AI-assisted accounting workflows where appropriate.
• Help automate reporting, invoicing, payment tracking, and financial administration.
• Support integrations between accounting, banking, and operational systems.
• Identify processes that can be automated without compromising financial accuracy.
• Help leadership improve financial visibility through better systems and reporting.

Required Experience & Skills

Non-Negotiables

• 3+ years of accounting, accounts receivable, or financial operations experience.
• Strong hands-on experience with:
  • Accounts receivable
  • Invoicing
  • Payment tracking
  • Financial reporting
  • QuickBooks
• Experience reviewing AR aging and outstanding balances.
• Experience following up on overdue payments or collections.
• Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills.
• Familiarity with digital banking and payment processing platforms.
• Strong financial recordkeeping and documentation skills.
• Excellent attention to detail and numerical accuracy.
• Strong written and verbal English communication.
• Ability to communicate professionally with U.S.-based leadership and stakeholders.
• Ability to independently manage recurring financial responsibilities.
• Availability during U.S. business hours.
• Reliable remote work setup.

Nice-to-Have Experience

• Experience migrating from QuickBooks to another accounting platform.
• Experience implementing or improving accounting systems.
• Familiarity with accounting automation tools.
• Experience using AI-assisted finance or accounting workflows.
• Startup or high-growth company experience.
• Exposure to:
  • Treasury operations
  • Cash forecasting
  • Operational finance
  • Banking workflows
• Experience creating or improving accounting SOPs.
• Experience automating financial reporting or reconciliation processes.
• Experience working directly with founders or senior leadership.

What Makes You a Strong Fit

You:

• Are highly organized and accurate with financial information.
• Take ownership of receivables rather than waiting for overdue balances to become problems.
• Follow up consistently and professionally.
• Understand how AR activity affects company cash flow.
• Can identify discrepancies and investigate their root causes.
• Keep financial records clean and audit-ready.
• Enjoy improving systems and processes.
• Are comfortable learning new accounting and automation technology.
• Can balance routine accounting execution with operational improvement projects.
• Communicate clearly with leadership.
• Work independently and follow through consistently.

What a Typical Day Looks Like

Your day may include:

• Preparing and issuing customer invoices.
• Reviewing the AR aging report.
• Following up on outstanding payments.
• Confirming incoming payments and updating records.
• Reviewing QuickBooks activity for accuracy.
• Updating cash flow and payment trackers.
• Investigating payment or transaction discrepancies.
• Preparing receivables and financial summaries for leadership.
• Coordinating around upcoming payment priorities.
• Improving an invoicing or reporting workflow.
• Testing an automation that reduces repetitive accounting work.
• Maintaining organized supporting documentation.

In short: you help keep financial operations accurate, cash flow visible, receivables moving, and accounting systems increasingly efficient and scalable.

Key Metrics for Success

• Timely and accurate invoicing.
• Accounts receivable collection efficiency.
• Reduction in overdue balances.
• Accuracy of payment tracking.
• Accuracy and timeliness of financial reporting.
• Strong cash flow visibility.
• Clean and organized accounting records.
• Reduction in repetitive manual accounting processes.
• Audit-ready financial documentation.
• Responsiveness to leadership and operational requests.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Direct impact on company cash flow and financial visibility.
• High ownership across AR and financial operations.
• Direct collaboration with U.S.-based leadership.
• Opportunity to improve and modernize accounting systems.
• Exposure to automation and AI-assisted accounting workflows.
• Opportunity to move beyond traditional accounting execution into broader operational finance.
• Fully remote environment.
• Potential growth into:
  • Senior Accountant
  • Accounting Manager
  • Accounts Receivable Manager
  • Finance Operations Manager
  • Operational Finance Lead
