Senior Accounts Receivable Associate

Take on the toughest receivables problems, and be the expert your team and clients turn to.

Senior AR Associates resolve the complex receivables issues others escalate. You'll own reconciliations, bad-debt analysis and close tasks, act as the client's technical contact for AR, and approve credits and refunds within your delegated limits. You'll also supervise and mentor Associates.

• Resolve complex and aged AR exceptions: contested deductions, misapplied and unidentified cash, and reconciliation breaks carried across periods
• Own bad-debt and allowance analysis, plus the ageing commentary for your portfolio
• Approve credit memos, rebills and customer refunds within your delegated limits
• Own the AR sub-ledger to general ledger reconciliation and month-end close tasks, including cut-off, provisions input and revenue recognition support
• Review and approve Junior Associates' and Associates' work, analyse error trends and fix root causes
• Write and maintain SOPs, own workflow rules and tolerances, and deliver process improvement and automation
• Supervise and mentor Junior Associates and Associates, contribute to their reviews, and deputise for the Team Lead

What you'll bring

• 5+ years in accounts receivable or general accounting, including ownership of complex exceptions, reconciliations and disputes
• Sound grasp of accruals, cut-off, provisions, write-offs and recoveries and the control environment you operate within
• Direct experience supporting clients through month-end close and external audit
• Strong ERP skills (SAP, Oracle NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics or Sage), including reporting and query tools, plus advanced Excel
• Experience mentoring or reviewing others' work
• No degree required: we look for depth of experience and sound judgement on complex work

Nice to have

Experience in a shared-service, outsourced or multi-client environment. Exposure to US GAAP as it applies to receivables and revenue, including ASC 606 and ASC 326 (CECL). ACCA (advanced or qualified), a bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance, CPA or CMA. Reconciliation, data analysis or automation tooling skills.

You'll thrive here if…

You get to the root cause rather than a workaround, stay calm under client pressure, and raise the standard of the people around you.
