A/R & A/P Specialist

Our client is a US-based premium wholesale apparel brand supplying retailers and business accounts nationwide. Because they sell physical product in volume, their accounts receivable is a live, daily system rather than a monthly clean-up exercise — deposits to apply, aging to keep current, credits to process, statements to send, and overdue balances to work.We are hiring an AR & AP Specialist to own that system. You report to the Director of Accounting and are trusted to keep the books clean without being chased. Alongside receivables you support accounts payable: vendor records and inquiries, purchase order review, credit card coding and reconciliation, sales tax support, and annual 1099 preparation.The work is detail-driven and process-based, on a steady cadence rather than a reactive one. It suits someone who genuinely enjoys accuracy. One part of the role sits slightly outside ordinary AR: you prepare the weekly CEO report and occasionally present prepared figures to executives, so clear written English and calm, confident communication carry real weight.Success in the first 90 days looks like this: AR records accurate, current, and reconciled on schedule; a collections follow-up rhythm where no invoice falls through the cracks; issues flagged and escalated with the information needed to act on them; and a weekly CEO report that is organised and ready to walk through without prompting. The client is looking for a long-term teammate, not a placeholder.Key ResponsibilitiesAccounts Receivable & Cash ApplicationMaintain accurate accounts receivable records, including aging, credits, collections, and write-offsManage daily cash activity: record deposits, update cash logs, and post payments to the AR sub-ledgerEnter and manage customer credit requests and adjustmentsDistribute weekly and monthly customer statementsCollections & Customer CommunicationMonitor and follow up on outstanding receivables by phone, email, and written communicationHold a collections follow-up rhythm where no overdue invoice falls through the cracksFlag and escalate problem accounts with the right information attached, before they become write-offsCustomer & Vendor OnboardingProcess onboarding for new customers and vendors within the accounting systemMaintain vendor records and respond to vendor inquiriesInvoicing, Inventory & Sales TaxSupport invoicing, including inventory stock adjustments and sales tax applicationAssist with sales tax reporting and complianceAccounts Payable, Cards & 1099sPerform credit card processing, coding, and reconciliationsReview purchase orders and assist with payment runs as neededPrepare annual 1099sReporting & Team SupportPrepare the weekly CEO reportPresent prepared figures to executives from time to timeProvide general support to the accounting teamRequired Qualifications1.5+ years of AR, collections, and AP experience, preferably in a B2B wholesale or other inventory-driven environmentAssociate degree or equivalent experience in Accounting, Business Accounting, or FinanceWorking knowledge of accounting software platformsHigh proficiency with Microsoft Excel and Google SuiteHands-on cash application and account reconciliation as a regular part of your workFamiliarity with US sales tax reporting and 1099 preparationThorough understanding of basic accounting, bookkeeping, and corporate finance principles and proceduresPersonal integrity and the ability to keep customer, vendor, and company information strictly confidentialA natural aptitude for accuracy and meticulous detail, with genuine comfort working with numbersAbility to work well both independently and as part of a teamReliable, professional presence in a remote setting with consistent availability during US business hoursPreferred QualificationsSage Intacct experience (strongly preferred)Multi-entity accounting experiencePrior experience in B2B wholesale, apparel, or other inventory-heavy industriesExperience preparing executive or management-level reportingTools & SoftwareSage Intacct (strongly preferred) or a comparable mid-market accounting platformMicrosoft Excel at a working formula level, plus Google SuiteMicrosoft Teams and OneDrive for collaboration and file sharingHubstaff for time tracking during paid working hoursWhat Makes You a Great FitYou take quiet pride in getting the numbers right, and you notice when something does not tie outYou keep a steady daily rhythm rather than working in bursts and catching up laterYou chase an overdue invoice politely, persistently, and in writing that reflects well on the businessYou escalate early and with the full picture attached, rather than waiting to be askedYou write clear, professional English that a US customer would read without frictionYou can walk an executive through a set of figures calmly, without over-explaining or apologising for themYou treat confidential customer, vendor, and company information as a matter of course, not a rule you followYou want a stable, long-term seat where you can plant roots, not a stepping stoneWhat We OfferUp to $7/hour100% remote workFull-time roleWe hire for the long haul, so a steady track record of staying and growing always moves you up our list.To applyEnsure your LinkedIn profile and resume are up-to-date and comprehensive (submit a comprehensive resume in English, PDF format), and complete the assessment in this link: Aptive Test — https://assessment.aptiveindex.com/s/FiUhtJcrVkOUA quick note on how we will reach you: our recruitment team communicates primarily through Telegram, using the mobile number on your application and resume.
