Turn Receivables Into Results
Ascendo Resources is partnering with a highly respected, well-established South Florida organization seeking an experienced Senior Accounts Receivable Analyst to join its accounting team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an A/R professional who thrives on solving complex account issues, improving cash flow, and building stronger processes. You’ll take ownership of high-value customer accounts while serving as a trusted resource to the broader Accounts Receivable team.
If you know how to balance persistent collections with excellent customer service—and enjoy finding smarter ways to get the job done—this could be the opportunity for you.
What You’ll Do
- Manage high-value, complex, and strategic customer accounts, ensuring accurate invoicing, collections, and payment application
- Prepare and monitor customer deposits, progress billing, and Work-in-Progress billing
- Review A/R aging and prioritize collection activity to reduce delinquent balances
- Contact customers regarding past-due invoices through professional phone and email communication
- Research and resolve billing discrepancies, payment disputes, and significant account variances
- Process payments, credit memos, adjustments, and write-offs in accordance with company policies
- Perform complex account reconciliations and maintain accurate customer records
- Monitor Days Sales Outstanding and recommend strategies to improve collection performance
- Prepare weekly and monthly aging reports and collection updates for management
- Partner with Project Management, Estimating, Operations, Account Management, and Finance to address billing delays and discrepancies
- Support month-end and year-end close, including reconciliations and revenue-recognition activities
- Identify opportunities to strengthen A/R processes, internal controls, reporting, billing, and cash application
- Participate in ERP implementations, upgrades, testing, and user-acceptance activities
- Assist with internal and external audits by preparing documentation and responding to requests
- Provide technical guidance, training, and mentorship to other Accounts Receivable team members
- Serve as a subject-matter expert for billing, collections, cash application, reconciliations, and A/R reporting
What You’ll Bring
- 5+ years of experience in billing, collections, and accounting within a corporate environment
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related field—or equivalent relevant experience
- Strong understanding of GAAP, accounting principles, and subledger-to-general-ledger relationships
- Advanced Microsoft Excel skills and confidence working with large volumes of financial data
- Experience with account reconciliations, aging analysis, cash application, progress billing, and A/R reporting
- Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities with exceptional attention to detail
- Ability to investigate discrepancies, make sound decisions, and follow issues through resolution
- Excellent communication and customer-service skills
- Ability to manage multiple priorities, learn quickly, and collaborate across departments
- Experience supporting process improvements or ERP implementations is highly valued
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Take ownership of complex, high-impact accounts
- Play a visible role in improving cash flow and collection performance
- Partner directly with operational and financial leaders
- Help shape processes rather than simply maintain them
- Serve as a mentor and technical resource within the A/R department
- Join an established organization that values accuracy, accountability, collaboration, and exceptional customer service
