• Categorize and validate deductions by coordinating closely with the Sales team to determine whether they are allowable or require dispute.


• Apply payments accurately to invoices and ensure all remittances are properly allocated.


• Dispute invalid claims and work cross‑functionally to resolve outstanding issues.


• Assist in establishing or improving AR organization and workflows, with the opportunity to build basic systems or tracking methods where none currently exist.


• Support catch‑up and backlog efforts, especially during the onboarding period when overtime may be required.

Minimum Requirements

• Strong communication skills and a professional, proactive approach—this role relies heavily on email interaction and follow-up.


• Ability to navigate and learn customer portals and understand foundational Accounts Receivable processes.


• Attention to detail and the ability to categorize deductions accurately.


• Basic Excel skills, including VLOOKUPs and pivot tables.


• Strong work ethic and willingness to learn; training will be provided by the current AR Analyst.

Ideal Personality & Work Style

• Proactive, eager, and self‑directed


• Comfortable with repetitive, detail‑heavy tasks and following through consistently.


• Works well in a friendly but mostly introverted environment.
