Accounts Receivable Manager

Position Summary

We’re seeking a seasoned Accounts Receivable Manager to own end-to-end AR for SILA’s Shared Services. You’ll lead a team of AR specialists, champion process improvements, and partner with operations to accelerate cash collection, reduce DSO, and ensure clean, timely receivables reporting. This is a high-impact role—ideal for a hands-on leader who thrives in a fast-paced, PE-backed environment and enjoys diagnosing root-cause issues and driving systemic solutions.

Key Responsibilities

Team Leadership & Development

- Recruit, onboard, coach, and develop a high-performing AR team.

- Set clear performance objectives, conduct regular reviews, and foster a culture of accountability and continuous growth.

- Balance tactical support (collections, reconciliations) with strategic upskilling (cross-training).

AR Operations Management

- Oversee daily AR workflow: invoice review, payment application, credits, dispute triage, and account reconciliations.

- Ensure SLAs for remittance posting, dispute resolution, and unapplied cash are met.

- Monitor volume and complexity across 40+ locations—reallocate resources dynamically to prevent bottlenecks.

Collections Strategy & Credit Controls

- Design and execute segmented, risk-based collection campaigns to minimize aged receivables.

- Own credit limit reviews: perform risk assessments, set terms, and enforce policy in collaboration with Credit and Treasury.

- Lead root-cause analysis on chronic delinquencies; implement corrective actions (process changes, customer training, system alerts).

Process Improvement & Systems

- Evaluate existing AR processes; standardize and document best practices across all business units.

- Drive automation & project initiatives—auto-reminders, workflow approvals, electronic lockboxes—to accelerate cash application and reduce manual touchpoints.

- Serve as Subject Matter Expert for Sage Intacct & Service Titan custom reports, and user training.

Analytics, Reporting & Month-End Close

- Prepare AR reporting/dashboards: aging summaries, DSO trends, cash forecasts, days beyond terms.

- Present actionable insights to leadership team—highlight risks, successes, and improvement opportunities.

- Lead AR’s month-end responsibilities: intercompany reconciliations, audit support, and close-checklists.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Growth Integration

- Partner with GMs and Operations to align on collection targets, resolve billing disputes, and improve customer payment behavior.

- Support rapid onboarding of newly acquired businesses—migrate receivables processes, train local teams, and embed AR controls.

- Work with IT, FP&A, and Treasury on system enhancements, lockbox setups, and working-capital optimization projects.

Qualifications

- Accounting, Finance or related field.

- 7+ years in AR or credit management, with a minimum of 3 years supervising a team.

- Expertise in Sage Intacct or similar ERP AR modules; Excel & reporting skills.

- Highly organized multi-tasker with keen attention to detail and strong follow-through.

- Proactive, initiative-driven problem solver who uncovers root causes and implements scalable solutions.

- Strong communicator able to negotiate with customers and influence cross-functional partners.

- Adaptable change agent who thrives in a fast-paced, acquisition-driven.
