Accounts Receivable Accountant

Job Description

Job Description

This is a full-time, 100% in-office role based in Norcross, GA. The Accounts Receivable Accountant will own the full accounts receivable cycle while also supporting key accounting functions tied to month-end close and reconciliations. This position blends strong accounting knowledge with hands-on AR operations, including billing, collections, dispute resolution, and maintaining accurate financial records.

The right candidate has owned the entire AR function end-to-end — including the 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.

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, analytical, and comfortable working cross-functionally to resolve issues and keep cash flow moving.

 

Responsibilities

• Manage full-cycle accounts receivable, including invoicing, cash applications, credit memos, and collections
• 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
• Apply a strong understanding of accounting treatment for credit memos, refunds, intercompany transactions, and allowance for doubtful accounts
• 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

• 1–5 years owning full-cycle AR end-to-end —  not a single function within AR (billing-only, collections-only, or cash applications-only profiles will not be considered)
• Solid understanding of accounting principles: debits/credits, accruals, allowance for doubtful accounts, and AR aging analysis
• Hands-on experience reconciling the AR subledger to the general ledger
• Experience supporting the month-end close with journal entries and accruals
• Intermediate Excel skills (XLOOKUP, pivot tables)
• Background in 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)
