What You'll Do
-
Process customer payments via ACH and check, ensuring timely and accurate cash application to open invoices, and researching and clearing unapplied cash.
-
Own a portfolio of customer accounts, driving collections activity and keeping aging current through consistent follow-up to reduce outstanding balances and improve Days Sales Outstanding (DSO).
-
Issue credit and debit memos based on validated discrepancies and pricing issues.
-
Investigate and resolve customer short payments, deductions, and disputed invoices in collaboration with Sales, Customer Service, and Logistics, including validating deduction backup and securing appropriate support.
-
Escalate aged, disputed, and unresolved items through internal partners and direct customer contacts to drive resolution.
-
Partner with the team to ensure SPS/EDI invoice transmission runs smoothly, proactively monitoring for and curing rejections so invoices flow through without interruption.
-
Work within customer portals to confirm that all invoices are received and posted, following up on any missing or unacknowledged documents.
-
Assist with internal and external audits, ensuring documentation and controls are properly maintained.
-
Help optimize and document AR processes, contributing to automation and efficiency efforts across the team.
Who You Are
-
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or related field.
-
3+ years of relevant AR experience, preferably in a CPG, retail, or manufacturing environment.
-
Strong understanding of cash application, credit/debit memos, collections, and deduction/short-pay resolution.
-
Experience working with Oracle Fusion (or a similar ERP system).
-
Proficient in Excel and comfortable working with large datasets.
-
Effective communicator with the ability to work cross-functionally, especially with Sales, Customer Service, and Logistics.
-
Highly organized, process-oriented, and able to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced, high-volume setting.
-
Hands-on experience with SPS Commerce, EDI transactions, and curing invoice rejections.
-
Familiarity with retailer deduction codes and distributor/customer portals (e.g., Walmart, Amazon, UNFI, KeHE).
-
Prior experience working with brokers, retailers, or large distributor accounts.
