Our client, a growing organization within the construction materials industry, is seeking an Accounts Receivable Accountant to join its Credit & Collections team on a contract-to-hire basis. This is not a traditional collections position. The role combines full-cycle accounts receivable with accounting, reconciliations, cash application, research, and data analysis.

Perform full-cycle accounts receivable accounting, including cash application, payment processing, posting checks, invoicing, billing, and account maintenance.
Research and resolve short payments, payment discrepancies, unapplied cash, and account variances.
Support month-end close and general ledger accounting activities related to accounts receivable.
Pull financial and customer data from multiple accounting and banking systems and analyze, manipulate, and reconcile the information in Excel.
Investigate complex account issues and identify the underlying cause rather than simply processing transactions.
Work with a large customer portfolio in an environment supporting approximately 2, 000 customers.
Partner with Sales, Accounting, customers, and other internal teams to research and resolve account issues.
Maintain clear documentation and account notes and manage assignments received through shared communication channels.
Qualifications
Bachelor s degree required.
Strong Understanding of general ledger accounting and how AR activity flows into the GL.
Hands-on experience with cash application, reconciliations, payment processing, and billing/invoicing
Strong intermediate Excel skills, including the ability to create tables, use formulas and lookups, manipulate data, and build reports.

Distribution, construction materials, equipment, manufacturing, or another high-volume transactional environment is beneficial.
