Sr. Accounts Receivable Analyst

Employment Type: Contract (12 months, possibility of extension)

Location: Toronto, ON (Hybrid — minimum 1 day/week in office, Wed or Thu preferred)

Rate: $30 to $40/hr

Industry: Consumer Technology

Position Type: Backfill (Parental Leave)

About the Opportunity

Our client is a Canadian-born smart home technology company with a product portfolio spanning intelligent thermostats, sensors, and connected home devices — sold through retail, professional, and commercial channels. With a team of ~500+ employees and a growing SmartBuildings platform, they're a recognized name in energy management and home automation, backed by a major North American energy technology company. That combination gives them the resources and stability of a larger enterprise while staying rooted in their product-focused identity.

This 12-month contract exists to backfill a parental leave on the Accounts Receivable team. A one-month overlap with the departing employee is built into the plan — so the person coming in will get a meaningful handoff on a complex, multi-dimensional role before owning it fully.

The Senior AR Analyst sits within the FinOps / AR team and spans a wide range of functions: collections escalation, customer onboarding, pricing and promotions management, billing, reconciliations, and cross-functional project work. This is not a routine AR role. SOX compliance is high-visibility here — audit scrutiny applies across pricing changes, promotions, and customer onboarding — and the right person will need to understand controls deeply, bring sharp attention to detail, and be comfortable representing finance in project meetings alongside engineering and business systems teams.

Key Responsibilities

Collections & Customer Management

• Support two junior AR analysts on collections escalations, demand letters, and complex account resolution, escalating to the parent company's credit team where needed
• Own customer onboarding, including credit checks and coordination with the sales team
• Manage EDI-based customer onboarding in collaboration with the business systems team, including testing and technical setup

Month-End, Billing & Reconciliation

• Prepare journal entries and provide month-end close support
• Process manual billings, maintain amortization schedules for subscription services, and handle related credit processing
• Reconcile the AR subledger against the AR balance sheet; support variance analysis as needed

Pricing & Promotions

• Maintain and update product pricing (hardware and software subscriptions) within the NetSuite pricing module, ensuring approvals are in place before any changes go live
• Set up seasonal and campaign promotions (e.g., Black Friday, back-to-school, holidays) within the promotions module across NetSuite and Shopify, working closely with the digital team
• Ensure all pricing changes and discounts follow established approval matrices and change request protocols, with full documentation for audit purposes

Projects & Cross-Functional Work

• Represent the AR / FinOps team in process improvement and ERP integration projects planned for the back half of the year
• Partner with engineering and business systems teams on testing, documentation, and project launch coordination
• Identify opportunities to streamline workflows and support automation, including AI-enabled tools

What You Bring

• 5+ years of AR experience with exposure to collections, customer management, pricing operations, and billing
• Strong understanding of SOX controls and compliance — you know what good approval documentation looks like and why it matters
• Advanced Excel skills for reporting, reconciliation, and variance analysis
• Experience reconciling AR subledgers and supporting balance sheet close processes
• Track record of working cross-functionally with sales, business systems, and technical teams in a structured environment
• High attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities independently
• Comfortable operating in a complex, multi-channel environment with meaningful process nuance

Nice to Have

• NetSuite ERP experience — particularly the pricing, customer, and/or AR modules
• Familiarity with Shopify, OneStream, or Blackline
• Experience with EDI customer onboarding
• Exposure to AI tools or workflow automation in a finance context
