AR/Collections Specialist

AR/Collections Specialist

Remote (Central Ohio based)

$48–56k

An established and growing organization is seeking an AR/Collections Specialist to take ownership of a high-impact accounts receivable and credit function. This is a hands-on role where your work directly supports cash flow, strengthens financial operations, and improves the overall customer experience. You’ll partner closely with senior finance leadership while contributing to both day-to-day execution and longer-term process enhancements.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Direct impact in a visible role supporting senior finance leadership

Opportunity to elevate AR and credit processes and help shape improvements

Collaborative, small team environment with hands-on support and training

Strong potential for growth, with opportunities to advance into a lead or succession path

The AR/Collections Specialist will play a meaningful role in both operational execution and continuous improvement initiatives

Key Responsibilities of the AR/Collections Specialist

Own full-cycle AR processes including cash application, collections, account reconciliations, and invoice research

Manage high-volume account portfolios, including portal downloads, Excel tracking, and dispute resolution

Partner with internal teams and external customers to resolve short pays, deductions, and payment discrepancies

Perform detailed account analysis using Sightline ERP along with intermediate-to-advanced Excel tools such as pivot tables and lookups

Support ongoing process improvements and contribute to shared knowledge across the AR and credit team

The AR/Collections Specialist will monitor portfolio performance and aging metrics to ensure timely collections

Serve as a key resource for resolving billing and payment issues across departments

Help strengthen workflows while improving accuracy in reporting and reconciliation efforts

The AR/Collections Specialist will be trusted to manage priorities independently while maintaining a high level of accuracy

Must-Have Skills and Experience

Minimum of two years in accounts receivable, credit, or collections roles, ideally in a high-volume environment

Experience with ERP systems, preferably Sightline or Infor, or the ability to quickly learn new/legacy systems

Strong Excel skills including pivot tables and lookups, with comfort working across multiple systems and datasets

Clear and confident communication skills, both written and verbal, for interacting with internal stakeholders and customers

Success as an AR/Collections Specialist requires strong organization, attention to detail, and consistent follow-through

If you’re looking for a role where you can take ownership, make a measurable impact, and continue growing within a collaborative finance team, this AR/Collections Specialist opportunity offers a strong next step.
