Accounts Receivable (AR) Analyst Summary We are seeking a highly detail-oriented and experienced AR Analyst to join our Accounting team. This is a critical role that sits firmly within the general ledger process, focusing heavily on technical accounting, balance sheet reconciliation, and accurate transactional recording. This is not a primary collections role; the ideal candidate will possess deep accounting knowledge, particularly in ensuring the integrity of the Accounts Receivable subledger and supporting the financial close. Key Responsibilities Financial Close Support: Actively support the monthly and quarterly financial close processes, including preparing necessary AR-related accruals, journal entries, reconciliation schedules, and management reporting. Subledger Integrity: Perform daily and monthly reconciliations of the Accounts Receivable subledger to the General Ledger (GL) to ensure all systems and records are in balance, investigating and resolving any discrepancies immediately. Intercompany Reconciliation & Clearing: Manage and clear complex intercompany AR/AP balances, ensuring that all necessary support is obtained and recorded correctly. Transaction Processing: Accurately record and process all AR transactions, including invoices, cash receipts, and credit memos, ensuring proper application within the ERP system, specifically Oracle. Master Data Governance: Enforce the proper setup and maintenance of customer master data to ensure accurate intercompany billing and recording. Bad Debt & Reserves: Process and record entries related to bad debt expense, write-offs, and manage the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts calculation and reconciliation. Technical Documentation: Clearly articulate and document the accounting treatment for complex AR transactions, such as refunds, credit memo issuance, and debt write-offs, demonstrating a strong understanding of debit and credit entries. Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field. 3+ years of progressive experience in Accounts Receivable or General Ledger accounting. Proven expertise in balance sheet reconciliation, specifically reconciling AR subledgers to the GL. Strong working knowledge of US GAAP and accounting concepts, particularly surrounding revenue recognition and reserves (e.g., Allowance for Bad Debt). Experience with a major ERP system (e.g., Oracle, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics) is required, with preference given to Oracle experience. Demonstrated ability to manage and clear intercompany accounts and transactions within a multi-entity structure. Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (VLookups, Pivot Tables) for data analysis and reporting. Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex accounting concepts to both finance and non-finance stakeholders.
