About the Role:

The Accounts Receivable Specialist is a key member of RunBuggy’s accounting team, responsible for managing the invoice-to-cash cycle from accurate customer billing through timely collection and reconciliation. As the team’s most experienced AR resource, you will take ownership of complex accounts and disputes, maintain accurate receivables, and partner with the Accounting Manager to support an efficient month-end close.

You’ll be successful in this role if you are highly accurate, persistent in follow-through, and confident working directly with customers and cross-functional teams to resolve billing and payment issues.
