Account Receivable and Collections

Randstad USA, Florida, NY, United States


Location: Palm Beach Gardens, FL (33418) – On-site
Position Type: Temp-to-Hire (Long-term)
Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
About the Opportunity

We are seeking a high-energy, detail-oriented Accounts Receivable Specialist to join a rapidly expanding leader in the fuel distribution industry. This is a critical role designed for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is looking to make a tangible impact on a company’s financial health.
As a consultant-led initiative following several successful acquisitions, this department is in a “growth and stabilization” phase. You will have the unique opportunity to help build a new operational playbook, starting with a high-volume data-entry project before transitioning into a strategic, client-facing collections role.
Key Responsibilities

High-Volume Cash Application: Tackle an immediate backlog by accurately posting 200+ checks and electronic payments daily. You will be responsible for ensuring every dollar is applied correctly to customer accounts within our user-friendly ERP system.
Strategic B2B Collections: Manage a diverse portfolio of business accounts—ranging from large-scale construction firms, government entities to luxury marine clients.
Professional Communication: Conduct “white-glove” outbound calls to resolve past‑due balances. We prioritize maintaining professional relationships with our partners while ensuring cash flow goals are met.
Problem Solving & Reconciliation: Investigate and resolve account discrepancies, short-payments, and billing disputes. Work closely with Sales and Operations teams to release credit holds and streamline customer orders.
Account Maintenance: Pull customer aging files, print statements, and provide the CFO with real‑time updates on collection status and portfolio health.
Process Improvement: Partner with consulting advisors to implement new playbook procedures for credit management following recent company acquisitions.
Reporting: Generate and distribute accurate customer statements and aging files. Provide status updates on collection efforts directly to the Collections Manager and CFO.
What We Are Looking For

Experience: Previous experience in B2B collections, cash applications, or general accounting is required. Experience in distribution or industrial sectors is a plus.
Tech-Savvy: Comfort working in a digital environment; experience with iRely or similar ERP systems (Oracle, NetSuite, SAP) is beneficial.
Work Ethic & Curiosity: We value work ethic and intellectual curiosity. We want someone who doesn't just see a problem but wants to find out why it happened and how to fix it.
Communication: A professional demeanor with the ability to navigate “push‑pull” conversations with customers who may be managing their own rising costs.
Eligibility: Minimum 1 year experience in Accounts Receivable or related field. Bachelors degree preferred.
Compensation

Salary: $26 - $30 per hour. Shift: First. Work hours: 8 AM - 5 PM. This posting is open for thirty (30) days.
Equal Opportunity Employer
