About the Role

We are seeking a detail‑oriented and proactive Accounts Receivable Analyst to support a high‑volume, fast‑paced AR department. This position has opened due to increased workload, and the team is looking for a motivated individual who can step in, take ownership of assigned accounts, and help streamline existing processes.

This is a great opportunity for someone early in their AR career who is eager to learn, build structure, and have a long‑term impact. The role is onsite and temp‑to‑hire, with strong potential for permanent placement.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage two major accounts within the AR portfolio and serve as the primary point of contact for payment‑related inquiries.
• Perform consistent follow‑ups via email to verify payment legitimacy, request supporting documentation, and resolve discrepancies.
• Navigate customer portals to research, track, and analyze open items, deductions, and payment statuses.
• Categorize and validate deductions by coordinating closely with the Sales team to determine whether they are allowable or require dispute.
• Apply payments accurately to invoices and ensure all remittances are properly allocated.
• Dispute invalid claims and work cross‑functionally to resolve outstanding issues.
• Assist in establishing or improving AR organization and workflows, with the opportunity to build basic systems or tracking methods where none currently exist.
• Support catch‑up and backlog efforts, especially during the onboarding period when overtime may be required.

Minimum Requirements

• Strong communication skills and a professional, proactive approach—this role relies heavily on email interaction and follow-up.
• Ability to navigate and learn customer portals and understand foundational Accounts Receivable processes.
• Attention to detail and the ability to categorize deductions accurately.
• Basic Excel skills, including VLOOKUPs and pivot tables.
• Strong work ethic and willingness to learn; training will be provided by the current AR Analyst.

Ideal Personality & Work Style

• Proactive, eager, and self‑directed
• Comfortable with repetitive, detail‑heavy tasks and following through consistently.
• Works well in a friendly but mostly introverted environment.
