Accounts Receivable Associate

Keep cash moving: bill accurately, apply every receipt and clear the issues that hold payments up.

Our AR Associates own billing and cash application for a portfolio of US-based clients. You'll work independently, research payments across banks, portals and gateways, and partner with sales and service teams to resolve disputes. You'll also provide trained cover in a second finance area during peaks.

• Generate and issue accurate customer invoices to the billing calendar
• Apply receipts across all tender types and currencies, investigate short payments and clear unapplied cash to target
• Research payments across customer portals, card gateways and marketplaces, reconciling settlements to the ledger
• Own the AR mailbox: remittances, payment queries and manual card payment requests
• Log and route disputes and deductions, including chargebacks, working with sales, service and customer setup teams to resolve them
• Process credit memos, rebills, refunds and offsets with full supporting documentation
• Produce ageing and cash-position reporting, and deliver the month-end close tasks for your portfolio

What you'll bring

• 3+ years of hands-on experience in accounts receivable or general accounting
• Practical experience in at least one ERP (SAP, Oracle NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage or QuickBooks)
• Intermediate Excel: lookups, pivot tables and reconciling large data sets
• Solid knowledge of invoicing, payment terms, remittance practice and statement cycles
• A track record of performing in a target-driven environment
• No degree required: hands-on experience and proven capability carry the weight

Nice to have

Experience serving US-based clients. ACCA at any stage, a bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance, CPA or CMA study, or the IOFM Accredited Receivables Specialist certification all count in your favour, but none is required.

You'll thrive here if…

You chase down the unexplained receipt, keep your records spotless, and work well across teams to get disputes closed.
