As an Accounts Receivable Accountant within the accounting team, you are responsible for the entire receivables management cycle.
Your key responsibilities include validating and recording sales flows (from the management tool into accounting), optimizing collections, reconciling accounts and managing the dunning process.
You will be the primary contact for internal teams (Sales, Order Management/Administration (ADV), Operations) and will sometimes liaise directly with clients.
You will work in an empowering environment where everyone is expected to take initiative.
