A/P & A/R Specialist

A US-based premium wholesale apparel brand is hiring a remote AR & AP Specialist to own the accounts receivable engine and support accounts payable for a high-volume, inventory-driven business. Reporting to the Director of Accounting, you will keep AR records accurate and reconciled, apply daily cash, drive collections on overdue B2B accounts, and keep vendors, credit card reconciliations, sales tax, and 1099s in good order. This is detail-driven, process-based work for someone who takes quiet pride in accuracy. You will work independently on a steady cadence rather than reacting to constant change, and you will be trusted to keep the books clean without being chased. You will also prepare the weekly CEO report and, from time to time, present prepared figures to executives — so clear written English and calm, confident communication matter as much as the numbers. Within your first 90 days, you will be measured on a few clear outcomes: AR records that are accurate, up to date, and reconciled on schedule; a collections follow-up rhythm where no invoice falls through the cracks; issues that are flagged and escalated with the right information; and a weekly CEO report that is organized and ready to walk through without prompting. This is a stable, long-term seat for someone who wants to plant roots, not a stepping stone.
