About Southeast Steel Systems

At Southeast Steel Systems, we do more than manufacture steel buildings. We build relationships, support our customers, and create opportunities for our employees.

With manufacturing operations in Tampa, Florida, and Adel, Georgia, we are growing and continuing to invest in our people, processes, and technology.

Our success depends on dedicated professionals who take ownership, work as a team, and take pride in delivering quality results.

THE OPPORTUNITY

As our Senior Accounts Receivable Specialist, you will play a key role in maintaining the financial health of our organization.

You will manage customer invoicing, cash applications, account reconciliations, collections, and credit administration across our Tampa and Adel operations.

We are looking for someone who can work independently, identify problems before they become larger issues, and partner with Sales, Operations, and Finance to improve billing accuracy, resolve payment concerns, and support cash flow.

This is not an entry-level AR position. We need someone with proven experience who understands the full accounts receivable process and can confidently manage competing priorities.

Cash Application and Reconciliation

• Post and apply customer payments accurately and on time.

• Reconcile customer accounts, unapplied cash, credit balances, and outstanding receivables.

• Perform AR subledger reconciliations and assist with general ledger reconciliation.

• Research and resolve payment differences and account discrepancies.

Collections and Aging Management

• Monitor accounts receivable aging reports and proactively follow up on overdue balances.

• Communicate with customers regarding outstanding invoices and payment arrangements.

• Resolve billing disputes while maintaining positive customer relationships.

• Escalate high-risk accounts and significant collection concerns to management.

• Support efforts to reduce past-due balances and improve cash flow.

Customer Credit Administration

• Process new customer account applications and required credit documentation.

• Maintain accurate customer credit information and account records.

• Coordinate credit requests and account concerns with management.

• Follow established credit and collection policies.

Reporting and Process Improvement

• Prepare AR aging reports, collection updates, and account reconciliations.

• Assist with month-end closing, financial reporting, and audit requests.

• Identify opportunities to improve billing accuracy, collection processes, and workflow efficiency.

• Collaborate with Accounting, Sales, and Operations to resolve customer account issues.

• Maintain strong internal controls and safeguard confidential financial information.

WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED

Required Qualifications

• Minimum of 4 years of hands-on Accounts Receivable experience. This requirement is mandatory.

• Demonstrated experience with customer invoicing, payment application, account reconciliation, AR aging, and collections.

• Strong understanding of accounting principles related to accounts receivable.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including formulas, data analysis, and reconciliation.

• Experience working with accounting software or ERP systems.

• Ability to manage a high volume of transactions while maintaining accuracy.

• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

• Ability to work independently, manage deadlines, and take ownership of assigned accounts.

• High school diploma or equivalent.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with NetSuite or a comparable ERP system.

• Accounts receivable experience within manufacturing, construction, steel fabrication, or industrial operations.

• Experience supporting accounting activities across multiple business locations.
