• Review billing registers and customer transactions for accuracy, completeness, and appropriate accounting treatment.
• Own customer credit processes, including credit reviews, limits, account setup, and communication of payment terms.
• Reconcile the AR subledger to the general ledger, including intercompany activity, and support month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close.
• Maintain strong internal controls, audit-ready documentation, and responsive support for internal and external audit requests.
• Partner with Sales, Customer Service, and Finance to resolve deductions, short pays, billing questions, and other customer account issues.
• Identify and implement process, reporting, and automation improvements that increase accuracy, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.

How you will lead:

• Coach, develop, and support the AR team while setting clear priorities and service expectations.
• Create accountability through meaningful performance measures, operating routines, and timely follow-through.
• Build a collaborative, solutions-focused culture that balances operational discipline with strong customer relationships.
• Develop and maintain practical AR policies, procedures, and training documentation.

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
• At least 3 years of progressive accounts receivable or general accounting experience, including experience guiding people, projects, or processes.
• Strong understanding of full-cycle AR, collections, cash application, reconciliations, credit management, and GAAP.
• Advanced Excel skills and experience working in complex ERP systems.
• Clear communication, sound judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to turn data into action.

Preferred:

• Experience in manufacturing, a multi-entity organization, or a multi-ERP environment.
