We’re looking for a Receivables Generalist who thrives in a fast-paced environment and takes pride in the details. In this critical role, you’ll manage both cash applications and collections—keeping our cash flow strong and our customer accounts in check.

  • Engage customers via phone/email to resolve past-due balances
  • Log collection activities and maintain accurate records in AR systems
  • Collaborate with sales and customer service teams to resolve disputes
  • Report regularly on AR aging and collection status

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or a related field
  • 2–3 years of hands-on experience in AR—especially in both cash applications and collections
  • Solid understanding of accounting principles and AR best practices
  • Familiarity with ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, etc.)
  • Strong Excel skills and comfort with Microsoft Office tools
  • Excellent attention to detail and time management
  • Clear, confident communication skills

Bonus Points If You Have

  • Experience in a high-volume, fast-paced transaction environment
  • Knowledge of deduction resolution or credit management
  • Exposure to industry-specific AR tools or platforms

Why You’ll Love Working Here

  • A collaborative, supportive team that values your ideas
  • Competitive salary and benefits that support your life and career
  • Real opportunities for growth and advancement
