Maintain customer account records and verify that credit files and supporting documentation remain accurate, complete, and compliant.

Support month-end close by preparing account reconciliations, reserve calculations, and related receivables reporting schedules.

Assist with audit requests by providing process documentation, control support, and explanations related to accounts receivable activities.

Advance continuous improvement efforts by introducing automation and AI-enabled tools that increase accuracy, efficiency, and cash collection results.

Effective communication and negotiation skills for working with customers and internal business partners.

Advanced Excel capabilities, including the use of pivot tables, lookups, and data analysis functions.
