Job description

Accounts Receivable / Accounts Payable Specialist (AR/AP) – Remote | QuickBooks, NetSuite, SAP

Position Type: Full-Time, Remote
Working Hours: U.S. Business Hours

About the Role

We’re hiring an AR/AP Specialist to own the day-to-day flow of money in and out of the business.

This is a high-impact, execution-driven role where accuracy, speed, and organization matter.

You will:

  • Process invoices and payments
  • Manage collections and vendor payments
  • Maintain clean, audit-ready financial records

If you’re detail-obsessed and comfortable handling high transaction volumes — this role is built for you.

What You’ll Own

Accounts Payable (AP)

  • Process 20–50 vendor invoices per week
  • Enter invoices into:
    • QuickBooks
    • NetSuite
    • Xero
    • SAP
  • Schedule payments (ACH, wire, checks)
  • Reconcile vendor statements and resolve discrepancies
  • Manage reimbursements and credit card reconciliations

Accounts Receivable (AR)

  • Generate and send 30–100 customer invoices weekly
  • Post payments (ACH, wire, credit card, checks)
  • Maintain AR aging reports and track overdue balances
  • Follow up on collections and negotiate payment timelines
  • Manage deferred/unearned revenue adjustments

Reconciliation & Reporting

  • Reconcile AR/AP subledgers to the general ledger
  • Match transactions with bank records
  • Prepare weekly reports:
    • Cash collections
    • Disbursements
    • Outstanding balances

Compliance & Controls

  • Maintain vendor/customer documentation (W-9s, contracts)
  • Ensure compliance with:
    • GAAP
    • IFRS
  • Keep audit-ready financial records at all times

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work with procurement on vendor setup
  • Partner with sales to resolve billing issues
  • Support accounting team during month-end close

What Makes You a Strong Fit

  • Highly detail-oriented (you catch errors others miss)
  • Comfortable handling high-volume transactions
  • Strong communicator with vendors and customers
  • Organized, structured, and process-driven
  • Able to balance speed + accuracy

Requirements (Must-Have)

  • 2+ years experience in:
    • Accounts Receivable
    • Accounts Payable
    • Bookkeeping
  • Experience with at least one:
    • QuickBooks / NetSuite / SAP / Xero
  • Intermediate Excel / Google Sheets:
    • VLOOKUP
    • Pivot Tables
  • Familiarity with invoicing, payments, and reconciliation workflows

Nice to Have

  • Multi-currency AR/AP experience
  • Experience with:
    • Bill.com
    • Tipalti
  • Experience in SaaS, real estate, or professional services
  • ERP migration or automation experience

What a Typical Day Looks Like

  • Process vendor invoices and customer payments
  • Send invoices and follow up on overdue balances
  • Reconcile transactions and resolve discrepancies
  • Coordinate with teams on billing and vendor issues
  • Update reports and maintain clean financial records

In short:
You ensure every dollar in and out is tracked, accurate, and on time.

Key Metrics (KPIs)

  • Invoice accuracy: <1% error rate
  • On-time AP payments (net 30/45/60)
  • AR collections within target DSO
  • Timely reconciliations for month-end close
  • 100% audit-ready documentation

Why This Role Stands Out

  • High ownership over financial operations
  • Clear processes and structured workflows
  • Opportunity to grow into:
    • Senior Accounting
    • Finance Operations
  • Exposure to modern accounting tools and systems

Interview Process

  • Initial Phone Screen
  • Recruiter Interview
  • Practical Task (reconciliation / AR aging scenario)
  • Client Interview
  • Offer & Background Verification

Apply Now

If you’re someone who thrives in structured, detail-heavy roles and takes pride in clean, accurate financials, this is a strong opportunity to step into a high-responsibility AR/AP role.
