If you like owning the full AR cycle, from invoice to cash, and you’re the person who actually picks up the phone on past-due accounts, this role will feel like home.
Our client is a global manufacturer of precision industrial equipment.

- Work the aging report: follow up on past-due balances, resolve disputes, and bring DSO down
- Reconcile AR to the general ledger, prepare journal entries, and support month-end close
- Review customer payment history and credit to support credit decisions
- Partner with Sales and Customer Service to fix billing issues at the source, and support audits as needed
- Spot process gaps and help tighten controls and efficiency in the AR function
What You Bring
- 5+ years of accounts receivable experience, ideally in a manufacturing or industrial setting
- Hands-on collections experience, comfortable with direct customer calls and dispute resolution
- Experience with AR to GL reconciliation, journal entries, and month-end close
- ERP experience and strong Excel skills (pivot tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP)
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business, or equivalent AR experience
- Strong attention to detail and the ability to juggle priorities around close
Nice to Have
- Billing experience for capital equipment, field service, or parts
- Credit management experience
- Experience with international customers or foreign currency payments
Is This You?
This role is a strong fit if you want to own AR end to end at a manufacturer where your work is visible and valued, not be one of many in a large shared services team.
