Job Description

Job Description

We are looking for an Accounts Receivable Specialist to join a finance team in Michigan in a contract capacity with the potential for a permanent role. This role is well suited for someone who can manage day-to-day receivables work while also investigating payment discrepancies, resolving customer account issues, and maintaining strong follow-through. The ideal candidate brings experience with cash application, credit-related transactions, and customer portal activity, along with the judgment to research chargebacks and shortages thoroughly. This position offers the opportunity to contribute to a collaborative accounting group and make an immediate impact on account accuracy and collections support.

Responsibilities:

• Apply incoming payments accurately through cash receipts, lockbox activity, ACH details, and related banking information.

• Prepare and process credit memos while ensuring supporting documentation is complete and properly recorded.

• Investigate account variances such as chargebacks, shortages, and deduction issues, and communicate with customers to obtain resolution.

• Review customer account activity across multiple portals and maintain current, accurate receivable records.

• Partner with internal accounting staff to support efficient accounts receivable operations and timely issue follow-up.

• Monitor open balances, assist with account cleanup efforts, and help reduce aging items through consistent outreach and research.

• Contribute to assigned customer account coverage as responsibilities are organized across the receivables function.

• Prior experience in accounts receivable with hands-on responsibility for cash application and payment posting.

• Ability to research and resolve deductions, shortages, chargebacks, and other account discrepancies independently.

• Working knowledge of credit memos, cash activity, and customer payment processing workflows.

• Intermediate Microsoft Excel skills, including the ability to organize and review transaction data efficiently.

• Comfortable navigating customer portals and coordinating directly with clients regarding account questions.

• Strong attention to detail, sound judgment, and the initiative to follow issues through to completion.
