Position: Accounts Receivable Specialist

Reports To: Senior Accounting Analyst

Classification: Full-time, exempt

Salary: $75,000 Annual

Location: San Jose, CA (on-site)

Position Summary

The Accounts Receivable Specialist owns the integrity of every incoming dollar across all entities — not only donor giving, but subscription revenue through Stripe, point-of-sale revenue for merchandise and lounge sales through Square, e-commerce merchandise revenue through Shopify, and all music-industry receivables of the Red Worship entity. You reconcile each revenue stream to the general ledger — donor platform, merchant processors, bank, and AR ledger to GL — research and resolve discrepancies, track royalties and artist/management splits, and serve as the escalation point for complex payer, donor, and staff inquiries. You set and improve the procedures the Clerk follows, verify their output as a control checkpoint, and partner with the AR Systems Analyst and Accounting department on coding, fund mapping, and month-end close. This role demands sound judgment, multi-entity and multi-platform reconciliation skill, systems fluency, and the ability to own an outcome from exception to resolution.

Key Responsibilities

Multi-Entity Reconciliation

• Reconcile Pushpay (donor-management) activity to the general ledger across all entities;investigate and clear variances.

• Reconcile the AR ledger to the GL; reconcile cash drawer, petty cash, and the organization's bank accounts.

• Manage deposit discrepancies (bank vs. reconciliation) and produce the Bank Detail Report for all entities.

• Calculate and record funds received but not yet deposited in the correct period.

Merchant, Subscription & E-Commerce Receivables

• Reconcile Stripe subscription revenue from recurring, subscription-based services to the general ledger; track billing cycles, failed payments, refunds, and processor fees.

• Reconcile Square point-of-sale revenue from merchandise and lounge sales by location and entity; tie batch payouts to bank deposits and the GL.

• Reconcile Shopify e-commerce revenue for merchandise sold under the Red Worship entity; match orders, payouts, refunds, and sales tax collected to the GL.

• Net out processor fees, chargebacks, and payout-timing differences so each platform ties cleanly to bank deposits.

Red Worship — Music-Industry Receivables

• Track and reconcile royalty income on songs — recording/master and performance royalties from streaming, distribution, and licensing sources.

• Track and reconcile publishing income from songwriting — mechanical, performance, and sync licensing — for the Red Worship catalog.

• Account for ticket sales from worship-night events; reconcile ticketing-platform payouts to deposits and the GL, net of fees and refunds.

• Record and reconcile sponsorship and partner donations, including Compassion International, to the correct entity, fund, and restriction.

• Capture any other music-industry receivable to the correct revenue type, coordinating with Accounting on revenue recognition.

Exception Handling & Escalation

• Own escalated donor and customer inquiries — recurring-giving issues, subscription billing questions, duplicate transactions, disputes, chargebacks, NSF items, and returned checks.

• Manage the Accounts Receivable help-desk inbox; resolve internal and external customer-service matters the Clerk cannot.

• Research and resolve duplicate or missing donor records at the policy level; set the standards the Clerk applies.

Pushpay & Reporting

• Run weekly Pushpay Financial Overview and Activity reports for all entities; distribute and archive per the close calendar.

• Submit and manage Pushpay support tickets; deliver Pushpay training to staff and internal/external donors as needed.

• Produce weekly donation reporting, and monthly entity reporting for all receivables as well as corporate service-total reporting.

Cash, Royalty & Special Transactions

• Process checks received at the bank (income, refunds, overpayments, royalties) and remote- deposit miscellaneous checks as needed.

• Manage petty cash end-to-end: disburse, invoice, reconcile, and replenish; reconcile event fees received for other entities.

• Reconcile and record RCM royalties; support internal bank transfers and serve as manual-check signer on request.

Controls, Verification & Process Ownership

• Serve as the verification checkpoint for the Clerk's batches and deposits, enforcing dual control and segregation of duties.

Month-End & Audit Support

• Deliver reconciled weekly batches, transaction reports, and category reports to Accounting on the close calendar.

• Provide digital audit-ready documentation and support external audit and giving-statement requests.
