Senior Accounts Receivable Supervisor

Senior Accounts Receivable Supervisor

A well-established distribution and logistics company in Bakersfield is looking to add an experienced accounting leader to its team. With operations supporting customers throughout California and the Western U.S., the organization has built a reputation for reliability, strong customer relationships, and operational excellence. This position plays a key role in ensuring healthy cash flow, maintaining strong customer accounts, and leading a high-performing receivables team.

The Opportunity

This role exists to provide leadership and oversight for the accounts receivable function as the company continues to grow. The Senior Accounts Receivable Supervisor will oversee daily receivables operations, guide a team of AR professionals, and partner closely with accounting, customer service, and operations leadership.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys balancing hands-on involvement with team leadership. The right person will have ownership of credit and collections processes, help drive continuous improvements, and serve as a key resource for financial leadership.

What You'll Do

Lead the daily operations of the accounts receivable department, ensuring timely and accurate invoicing, collections, and cash application activities.
Manage and mentor AR staff, providing coaching, training, performance guidance, and support for professional development.
Analyze aging reports, collection trends, and customer account activity to improve cash flow and reduce outstanding balances.
Partner with sales, customer service, and accounting teams to resolve billing discrepancies and maintain strong customer relationships.
Review and enhance AR policies, procedures, and internal controls to improve accuracy, efficiency, and compliance.

What We're Looking For

5+ years of progressive accounts receivable experience, including prior supervisory or team leadership responsibilities.
Strong knowledge of credit, collections, cash application, reconciliations, and general accounting principles.
Experience working with ERP systems and advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel.
Background in distribution, logistics, manufacturing, or other high-volume transactional environments preferred.

Why This Role Stands Out

Established and financially stable organization with a strong presence in the Central Valley.
Opportunity to lead a critical accounting function and influence process improvements.
High visibility role with direct interaction with accounting and operational leadership.
Collaborative team culture that values accountability, communication, and continuous improvement.

This position offers the chance to join a company that recognizes the importance of strong financial operations and effective leadership. You'll have the opportunity to make a measurable impact on cash flow performance, team development, and process efficiency while partnering with leaders across the organization.

If you're a seasoned accounts receivable professional looking to step into a larger leadership role or continue building your career with a respected organization, this opportunity offers both challenge and long-term potential in a growing environment.

If you're looking for a role where you can make an impact while continuing to grow professionally, this could be the right next step.
