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 and 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. You will 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.
- 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.
- The "Will & the Skill": 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.

- Professional Collections: Conduct "white-glove" outbound calls to high-profile clients. Navigate complex payment discussions with professionalism, balancing the need for rapid cash recovery with the maintenance of long-term sales relationships.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as a liaison between Sales and Operations. Coordinate "Credit Holds" and release orders once payment terms are met or issues are resolved.
- Dispute Resolution: Identify and investigate short-payments, skipped invoices, or service charge disputes. Work with the "dispute specialist" to rectify errors and provide timely updates to customers.
