• Accounts Receivable Analyst

    Robert Half Finance & Accounting (Westborough, MA)


    Description

    We are seeking a detail-oriented and proactive Accounts Receivable (AR) Analyst to join our clients team.

     

    In this role, you will be responsible for managing vendor program agreements, ensuring accuracy and compliance with negotiated terms. You will collect vendor program allowances using aging reports to manage collections effectively, and prepare quarterly reconciliations, investigating and resolving any discrepancies that arise during the process. A key part of your responsibilities will be identifying and communicating collection cushions and risks while ensuring monthly collection goals and due dates are consistently met. You will complete the vendor post-audit function and create weekly invoices for marketing activities, processing invoices and credit memos, and managing the collection of open balances.

     

    This role requires strong collaboration with both vendors and internal merchants. You’ll partner with vendors to understand proof-of-performance requirements and work closely with merchants to gather information on upcoming marketing activities, ensuring a structured process for communicating vendor program details. Regular meetings with merchants will be essential to review vendor balances, assess risk, and ensure receipt of roadmaps for significant outstanding balances, particularly those exceeding 90 days. Additionally, the AR Analyst will perform month-end close duties including journal entry preparation and account reconciliations. If you are highly organized, analytical, and thrive in a collaborative environment, we encourage you to apply.

     

    For immediate consideration please call Allison Brown at 508.205.2121
