About LST Group And The Opportunity

LST Group is a fast-growing, profitable, full-service freight brokerage with branches across the Southeast, and we are building out our finance team in Chattanooga.
We are hiring a Revenue Accounting Manager to lead a promising revenue accounting group. This is a builder's seat: you will own how we bill, collect and apply cash, and you will lead the process design and technology work that lets that function scale with the business.
The starting focus is the order-to-cash cycle. As the company grows, so does the role, with room to expand your reach into other parts of finance and the broader business.

What You Will Own

Billing

• Own customer invoicing end to end, from load delivery and proof of delivery through invoice release
• Drive accurate, timely billing of linehaul, fuel surcharge and accessorials, and resolve rate and documentation discrepancies with operations and sales
• Manage billing for customer portals, EDI and customer-specific invoicing requirements
• Shorten delivery-to-invoice time and reduce billing errors and rebills
  

AR and collections

• Lead collections strategy and execution across the customer base, with a clear focus on DSO and past-due aging
• Partner with branch and sales leaders on customer disputes, short pays and credit issues
• Support customer credit review and limits in partnership with finance leadership
• Own the AR aging, bad debt reserve support and month-end AR reconciliations
  

Cash application

• Ensure payments are applied accurately and daily across checks, ACH, wires and lockbox
• Clear unapplied cash, short pays and deductions promptly
• Reconcile cash receipts to the bank and the subledger
  

Process and technology

• Design and document revenue accounting processes, controls and policies where few exist today
• Lead implementation and optimization of Revenova (TMS) and Accounting Seed workflows, integrations and automation for billing, AR and cash application
• Build the reporting on DSO, aging, billing cycle time and cash forecasting inputs that leadership relies on
  

Leadership

• Lead, develop and grow the revenue accounting team, setting clear expectations and accountability
• Contribute to month-end close on revenue, AR and cash
• Act as a trusted partner to operations, sales and branch leadership
  

Required

What you bring

• Freight brokerage experience in billing, AR, collections or revenue accounting. You know how loads, PODs, accessorials and customer disputes actually work.
• Hands-on fluency in Revenova and Accounting Seed, including how data flows between the TMS and the general ledger
• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including 2+ years leading people
• A track record of building or rebuilding processes and controls, not only running existing ones
• Strong working knowledge of Excel and reporting within Salesforce-based platforms
• Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance or a related field
  

Who thrives here

• Builders who want ownership and are comfortable creating structure where it does not yet exist
• Leaders who hold a team to a high standard and develop people
• Clear communicators who can push back on operations and sales with facts and still keep the relationship
  

Nice to have

• CPA or progress toward it
• Multimodal experience (truckload, LTL, intermodal, drayage)
• Experience leading a system implementation or migration
• Familiarity with credit tools and freight factoring relationships
  

What Success Looks Like In Year One

• Billing, AR and cash application processes are documented, controlled and owned by the team
• Delivery-to-invoice time and DSO are tracked weekly and trending down
• Unapplied cash and past-due aging are consistently under control
• Revenova and Accounting Seed are automating work that is manual today
• The team is stable, trained and ready to take on a broader scope
  

Why LST

• A profitable, growing brokerage with long-term ownership
• Real ownership of a function and a direct line to finance leadership
• A hybrid schedule: 3 days in the office, 2 days from home
• A growing Chattanooga presence you will help build
