AR Specialist

A Corona-based contractor is hiring an AR Specialist to own the billing and collections function for project-based construction operations in California.

This is a newly created role due to increased workload and growth of projects located in the region.

This role is 100% remote with occasional meetings and events in Corona (typically 4 times per year).

What you'll own

• Prepare and process progress billings, AIA billing, and retention billing from project manager pay estimates
• Generate invoices with corresponding lien releases and compliance documents through the ERP
• Apply customer payments, including checks, ACH, and wires — and record them accurately
• Follow up with customers on outstanding balances
• Coordinate with project managers and field teams to resolve billing gaps or documentation issues
• Assist with lien release preparation and preliminary notices as needed
• Monitor the AR inbox and respond to internal and external inquiries

What you bring

• 1–2 years of AR, billing, or accounting experience — construction or project-based environment a strong plus
• Familiarity with progress billing, AIA billing, and lien releases
• Proficiency in Excel; pivot tables and lookups a plus
• Strong follow-through on collections — comfortable making calls and tracking responses

Why this one is worth a look

• Stable, but growing team with an average tenure of 10 years
• Manageable volume with meaningful complexity — AIA billing, retention, lien releases, and project-based invoicing keep the work interesting without being overwhelming
• Direct report to the Controller with real visibility from day one
• Remote work, skip the commute and added expenses that come with it
