• Reconcile customer accounts and maintain accurate financial records
• Post and apply customer payments accurately and timely
• Analyze aging reports and identify trends affecting collections and cash flow
• Research complex receivable issues, including misapplied payments, disputed charges, and billing inaccuracies
• Coordinate with internal departments to investigate, troubleshoot, and resolve account issues.
• Assist with month-end close activities and account reconciliations as needed
• Prepare reports and provide analysis to support management decision-making
• Identify opportunities to improve billing, collection, and receivables processes
• Support additional accounting functions and cross-train in other areas of the department when needed
