Accounts Receivable Accountant

Job Description

Job Description

We are hiring a Senior Accounts Receivable Accountant to temp while this position is being filled for a growing company in Norcross, GA. They will be relocating to Lawrenceville in October. They are looking for someone with a strong full-cycle AR accounting experience, including collections, cash application, reconciliations, customer dispute resolution, credit memos, and ERP experience.


This is not a billing-only, collections-only, or cash application-only role. The right candidate has owned the entire AR function end-to-end — including the full accounting and close responsibilities that come with it. Candidates whose AR experience is limited to a single function within a large, siloed AR team will not be a match for this role.

• Manage full-cycle accounts receivable, including invoicing, cash applications, credit memos, collections, and dispute resolution
• Allowance for doubtful accounts, bad debt expense, and write-off processing — including the journal entries and accounting rationale behind each
• Reconcile the AR subledger to the general ledger and resolve discrepancies
• Support the month-end and quarter-end close with journal entries, accruals, and reporting
• Customer credit limit review, credit holds, and order release decisions
• Monitor aging reports and follow up on past-due accounts (31+ days)
• Lead collections efforts with both domestic and international customers
• Research and resolve billing issues, payment discrepancies, and unapplied cash
• Process and validate credit memos, refunds, and adjustments
• Partner with sales, customer service, and operations to resolve customer and billing issues
• Review and release sales orders based on credit limits and payment history

Requirements

• 5 years of hands-on, full-cycle AR end-to-end — owning the function, not a piece of it (billing-only, collections-only, or cash applications-only profiles will not be considered)
• Deep understanding of AR accounting: allowance for doubtful accounts, bad debt expense, write-offs, credit memo impact on revenue, and AR reserve methodology
• Hands-on experience reconciling the AR subledger to the general ledger
• Hands-on month-end experience with journal entries and accruals
• Intermediate Excel skills (XLOOKUP, pivot tables)
• Background in customer credit analysis, collections, dispute resolution, and billing issue resolution
• ERP system experience required (Business Central, SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, or similar)
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field preferred (or equivalent experience)
