POSITION: ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SPECIALIST

As an Accounts Receivable Specialist, you will serve as a critical member of our Accounting team: you will be responsible for the company's day-to-day accounts receivable (A/R) activities, including (but of course not limited to):

• Collecting customer invoicing data;
• Preparing and sending customer invoices;
• Tracking customer payments;
• Applying customer payments to the correct invoices;
• Tracking A/R aging components;
• Investigating and resolving A/R issues

An outstanding Accounts Receivable Specialist at Grant Aviation should be dedicated to customer service both to internal and external customers, have strong attention to detail, and be committed to our core values of being safe, reliable, and friendly. This position plays an integral role in the continuing financial health of the company by maintaining customer invoicing and ensuring invoicing payments, so if you're looking for an opportunity to share your skills and expertise while developing your proficiency and knowledge in accounts receivable and accounting, this could be what you're looking for!

What makes this job different than any other Accounts Receivable Specialist role you could apply for today? Grant Aviation has more than doubled the size of our organization in the past several years and the Accounting department is a key player in preparing for the future of the company. This includes helping to enhance our current customer service to both internal and external customers and helping to develop new practices and procedures to add value to current operations. This means you'll have the opportunity to both apply your established toolkit and develop new tools for your future and ours. The biggest difference we think you'll find, though, is our culture of service, which translates to some pretty great people to work with. Our team is committed to providing safe, reliable, friendly service for internal and external customers and contacts, just as we are for our passengers and clients.

Life on the Job

The Accounting team works primarily from our offices on the south end of the Ted Stevens International Airport. This position will typically work normal business hours Monday through Friday. Our culture puts high value on in-person work arrangements, so you will thrive in a busy office environment with plenty of direct interaction with your teammates.

Day to day work will initially be focused on getting to know your teammates, learning the current A/R processes, and getting to know our customers. We value teamwork, information-sharing, cross-training, and coverage for each other, and believe that facilitates a solid understanding of the company as a whole and the Accounting department's processes and procedures. You can expect to spend significant time with our Accounts Receivable Manager and Staff Accountant as you learn the A/R processes and procedures.

Beginning around three months after you join the team, you can expect to be largely self-sufficient in your day-to-day work. The VP of Finance and Administration is an open-door policy person, expecting her staff to work without micro-management, but always willing to answer questions and valuing idea-sharing and suggestions for new ways to do things. Grant Aviation is a December 31 year-end.

Long term, we expect the department to further expand, providing opportunities for advancement within the team. This means we will work with you and all members of the team to identify skills and aptitudes to grow your career along with the department.
