• Own the weekly accounts receivable aging review and investigate unapplied cash, unidentified receipts, and balances that are past due.
• Reconcile accounts receivable to the general ledger and customer remittance detail, clearing variances before the monthly close.
• Manage customer collections follow-up and work cross-functionally to resolve billing disputes and short payments.
• Monitor AR performance and working-capital trends, communicate risks to leadership, and drive corrective action on overdue or disputed balances.
