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. You’ll be a key part of our finance operations, working independently while collaborating with teams across the business.

  • Investigate and resolve unapplied cash or payment discrepancies
  • Reconcile daily cash receipts and support month-end close activities
  • Partner with internal teams to ensure proper allocation of funds
  • Monitor assigned accounts and proactively drive timely payments
  • 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
