RESPONSIBILITIES

• Serve as the first point of contact for all inbound customer and internal AR inquiries — resolving billing questions and disputes end-to-end.

• Assist customers over the phone with credit card payment processing in a professional and accurate manner.
• Coordinate with Sales and Finance teams to remove blockers and drive dispute resolution on outstanding accounts.

• Pull and analyze AR aging and collections reports independently to monitor account status, prioritize outreach, and stay ahead of potential issues before they escalate.

• Participate in ad hoc Finance projects as needed, including system migrations, process changes, and workflow implementations.
