• Process Payments Efficiently: Handle incoming payments via ACH, wire, check, and credit card, applying them accurately while investigating and resolving variances swiftly.
• Invoice and Reporting Mastery: Generate precise invoices, customized statements, and detailed aging reports, ensuring compliance with client-specific formats and deadlines.
• Dispute Resolution Expertise: Collaborate with customers, vendors, sales teams, and internal stakeholders to investigate discrepancies, negotiate resolutions, and prevent future issues.
• Reconciliations and Closing Support: Execute monthly account reconciliations, prepare journal entries, and contribute to period-end closings for seamless financial reporting.
• Compliance and Process Improvement: Uphold SOX controls, audit readiness, and internal policies while identifying efficiencies through data analysis and automation recommendations.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with client AP, sales, and operations teams to refine AR workflows, enhance customer relationships, and boost overall collections performance.

• Superior communication skills for client-facing interactions and team collaborations.
• Adaptability to multiple systems, processes, and industries; ability to thrive in dynamic settings.
