Job Description

Accounts Receivable Specialist - Manufacturing (Chicago NW Suburbs)

Location: Chicago Northwest Suburbs, IL

Compensation: $60,000 - $65,000 base

If you like owning the full AR cycle, from invoice to cash, and you're the person who actually picks up the phone on past-due accounts, this role will feel like home.

Our client is a global manufacturer of precision industrial equipment. As Accounts Receivable Specialist, you'll own invoicing, collections, cash application, and reconciliation for a customer base that includes equipment sales, parts, and field service, working closely with Sales, Customer Service, and Finance.

What You'll Do

  • Generate and send customer invoices for equipment, parts, service, and freight, and process credits, returns, and rebills
  • Apply customer payments accurately and keep account records clean and current
  • Work the aging report: follow up on past-due balances, resolve disputes, and bring DSO down
  • Reconcile AR to the general ledger, prepare journal entries, and support month-end close
  • Review customer payment history and credit to support credit decisions
  • Partner with Sales and Customer Service to fix billing issues at the source, and support audits as needed
  • Spot process gaps and help tighten controls and efficiency in the AR function

What You Bring

  • 5+ years of accounts receivable experience, ideally in a manufacturing or industrial setting
  • Hands-on collections experience, comfortable with direct customer calls and dispute resolution
  • Experience with AR to GL reconciliation, journal entries, and month-end close
  • ERP experience and strong Excel skills (pivot tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP)
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business, or equivalent AR experience
  • Strong attention to detail and the ability to juggle priorities around close

Nice to Have

  • Billing experience for capital equipment, field service, or parts
  • Credit management experience
  • Experience with international customers or foreign currency payments

Is This You?

This role is a strong fit if you want to own AR end to end at a manufacturer where your work is visible and valued, not be one of many in a large shared services team.
