The role focuses on customer invoicing, cash application, collections, EDI/customer portals, deduction resolution, aging analysis, and month-end support, with additional exposure to sales and financial analysis.
Key Responsibilities
Accounts Receivable & Collections
• Review bank activity for customer receipts, record and apply payments, match remittances, and investigate unapplied or unidentified cash.
• Own the AR aging process by reviewing overdue balances, following up with customers, maintaining collection notes, identifying issues, and providing weekly aging updates to the Financial Controller.
• Investigate and resolve customer deductions, short payments, chargebacks, pricing differences, shortages, freight/delivery claims, promotions, returns, and other disputes.
• Use SPS Commerce and retailer/customer portals to research deductions, retrieve remittance details, submit disputes, and track claims through resolution. Month-End & Financial Analysis
• Support the month-end AR close, including AR aging, subledger reconciliation, cut-off support, unapplied cash review, and preparation of schedules for management, banking, and audit purposes.
• Prepare basic AR, sales, deduction, working capital, and trend analyses,
with opportunities to support additional financial analysis as the role develops.
• Support inventory analysis by reviewing inventory aging and slow-moving stock, investigating month-end inventory variances, reconciling inventory reports to accounting records, and highlighting unusual movements or potential write-down risks. Invoicing & Operational Support
• Provide backup support for customer invoicing during vacation, absences, or other business needs, while following established internal controls. Required Experience
• 2–4 years of experience in accounts receivable, collections, cash application, deduction management, or related accounting functions.
• Hands-on experience with EDI, SPS Commerce or similar platforms, and major retailer/customer portals.
• Experience investigating deductions and chargebacks, and reconciling customer remittances and short payments.
• Strong Excel, reconciliation, analytical, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to independently investigate issues and follow them through to resolution.
• Experience in food, CPG, distribution, or major retail accounts is strongly preferred.
• QuickBooks Online and Power BI experience are considered assets.
