• Support the preparation of AR forecasts and annual budgets, including projected billings, collections, and outstanding receivables.
• Compare actual collections and AR performance against forecasts and budgets and investigate significant variances.
• Support month-end and year-end close activities related to Accounts Receivable, including reconciliations and reporting.
• Assist with the preparation of AR-related schedules, reports, and documentation required for audits.
• Partner with Sales and Customer Success to ensure billing accuracy, timely invoicing, and smooth collections.
• Work with internal teams to resolve customer account issues and ensure billing and collection processes are followed consistently.
• Maintain customer account information and ensure billing details, payment terms, and supporting documentation are kept up to date.
• Identify opportunities to improve AR processes, strengthen collection procedures, and improve overall cash flow.
• Support other finance and accounting activities as needed.

What You Bring
