• Proactively follow up with customers on overdue balances and short payments.
• Investigate and resolve discrepancies in collaboration with internal teams (sales, billing, customer service).
• Track and document all collection activity, maintaining accurate records of customer communications.
• Accurately apply payments, reconcile accounts, and manage clean aging of receivables.
• Prepare and distribute customer statements, aging summaries, and collection reports.

Process Improvement & Compliance

• Identify and help implement improvements to billing, collections, and customer onboarding workflows.
• Ensure all credit and collections activity aligns with internal policies and applicable regulations.
• Manage exemption certificate tracking and sales tax billing compliance.
• Contribute to financial close activities during month-end and year-end cycles.

What You Bring:

• High school diploma. Associates or Bachelors preferred
• 3–5 years of credit and collections experience,
• 3-5 years of accounts receivable experience
• Strong Excel and Microsoft Office skills.
• Willingness to become a Notary Public (cost covered by company).

Experience Preferred:

• Experience working with lien and bond processes in construction-related industries
• Experience in a manufacturing setting
