Why This Role Stands Out in Fontana's Job Market

Fontana, California, is a hub for logistics and retail, making expertise in Big Box Retailer chargebacks and short pays highly valuable. As an Accounts Receivable Clerk, you'll handle high-volume transactions, ensure cash flow optimization, and contribute to streamlined financial operations. This position isn't just about data entry—it's about resolving complex discrepancies, fostering client relationships through collections, and leveraging advanced tools like Excel and Dynamics 365 to drive results. Robert Half provides unparalleled support, connecting you to premier opportunities in Southern California's thriving economy.

Key Responsibilities

Your day-to-day will involve end-to-end accounts receivable management. Key duties include:

• Overseeing the full accounts receivable process to guarantee accurate payment recording and processing, minimizing errors in high-volume environments.
• Managing commercial collections by proactively communicating with clients, negotiating resolutions for outstanding invoices, and improving recovery rates.
• Applying cash payments swiftly and reconciling accounts daily to uphold precise financial records and support budgeting needs.
• Handling all billing functions, from generating professional invoices to monitoring deadlines and sending timely reminders.
• Investigating chargebacks, short pays, and deductions—particularly with Big Box Retailers—using analytical skills to resolve issues promptly and recover funds.
• Maintaining comprehensive transaction records and creating insightful Excel reports for management review and decision-making.
• Collaborating cross-functionally with sales, finance, and operations teams to optimize workflows and reduce days sales outstanding (DSO).
• Leveraging Dynamics 365 Business Central for efficient data management, payment tracking, and generating real-time financial insights.

These responsibilities demand precision, initiative, and a results-driven mindset, offering ample room for impact in a supportive Robert Half placement.

Required Qualifications

To succeed, candidates must demonstrate:

• Proven experience with chargebacks, short pays, or deductions, ideally with Big Box Retailers like Walmart or Target.
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and a genuine passion for numbers and financial processes.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel for reporting and data analysis, plus hands-on use of Dynamics 365 Business Central.
• Background in commercial collections, including client communication and dispute resolution.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced setting, managing multiple priorities while maintaining accuracy.
• Excellent interpersonal skills for team collaboration and stakeholder engagement.
• Prior experience in accounts receivable, billing, or similar roles within manufacturing, retail, or logistics sectors.
