• Drive accountability: issue statements, monitor overdue accounts, and follow up on outstanding balances with clarity and professionalism.
• Support reporting & compliance: track AR aging, contribute to month-end close, support audits, and help forecast cash flow.

EXPERIENCE:

• ERP system experience (SAP, Oracle, or similar) plus solid Excel skills.

QUALIFICATIONS:
