Our client is looking for a detail-obsessed, numbers-loving Accounts Receivable Clerk to join their finance team and help keep cash flowing smoothly.
If you're someone who takes pride in clean ledgers, loves tracking down payments, and gets a little thrill from a perfectly matched deposit—this could be your next professional home.
In this role, you'll be on the front lines of incoming cash flow — posting payments, handling customer questions, and partnering with internal teams to make sure everything is accurate, on time, and well-documented.
Accounts Receivable Clerk Responsibilities :
Processing high-volume customer payments — lockbox, ACH, checks, and wires — with accuracy and speed
Applying cash to customer accounts and resolving unapplied or misapplied payments
Communicating with customers to research payment discrepancies and ensure timely resolution
Creating and updating AR aging reports and assisting with collections follow-up as needed
Supporting month-end close by preparing AR reconciliations and account summaries
Working cross-functionally with sales, customer service, and billing to confirm invoice and payment details
Maintaining customer records with precision in ERP systems (bonus if you've used Dynamics SL or something similar)
Helping out the broader finance team with reporting or admin tasks when needed — team mindset required!
Accounts Receivable Clerk Requirements :
Associate degree in Accounting or related field (or equivalent experience)
2+ years of hands-on experience in an AR or cash applications role
Proficiency with Microsoft Excel — you’re confident with formulas, filters, and sorting
A natural problem-solver who loves digging into details
Strong communication skills — whether it’s with customers, coworkers, or over email
Dependable, self-motivated, and organized — you manage your own workload like a pro
