Job Description

We are looking for an AR Analyst to join a manufacturing company in Fort Collins, Colorado, and play a key role in managing complex receivables activity. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys researching payment issues, interpreting billing and contract details, and connecting accounts receivable work to broader accounting outcomes. The role works closely with cross-functional partners to resolve account concerns, improve cash flow visibility, and support accurate financial reporting.

Responsibilities:
• Examine billing questions, delayed payments, purchase order mismatches, and contract-related account issues to determine the cause of outstanding receivables.
• Collaborate with teams across customer service, sales, contracts, operations, and accounting to resolve customer account challenges and move invoices toward payment.
• Manage collection efforts with a problem-solving approach, identifying underlying issues before they escalate with the customer.
• Contribute to month-end close activities by assisting with receivables reconciliations and validating account accuracy.
• Analyze customer payment behavior, open balances, and receivables trends to highlight potential cash flow impacts.
• Prepare and support credit-related reviews, reporting, and account assessments to aid informed business decisions.
• Navigate detailed billing environments that involve multiple stakeholders, contract terms, and nonstandard invoicing scenarios.• Demonstrated accounts receivable experience that includes research and account analysis, not just routine collections.
• Background in manufacturing or other complex billing environments such as aerospace, government-related work, or large-scale organizations is preferred.
• Solid understanding of how receivables activity affects the general ledger, including debits, credits, and close processes.
• Strong analytical and investigative skills with the ability to solve payment and billing issues independently.
• Comfort reviewing contract language, invoice details, and customer payment arrangements to resolve discrepancies.
• Experience using financial systems such as SAP and maintaining accurate account records.
• Ability to post payments, manage financial documentation, and support account reconciliations with accuracy.
