Position Overview
We are seeking an AR Lead to run an accounts receivable clean up and help improve our accounts receivable process, DSO, and outstanding balance. You will join our lean, collaborative accounting team, reporting directly to the Accounting Manager, and work closely with the accounting, business development, and appraisal teams to ensure invoices are paid accurately and on time.
This is not a light-touch collections role. As a transactional, B2B business with hundreds of active clients and widely varied payment processes, our AR cycle is a complex, multi-step process that requires diligence, organization, and consistent follow-through. We are looking for someone who wants to help with this function with a high degree of ownership - and who treats the AR balance as their number for those clients which have been assigned to them.
You will also work with our upcoming technology system to automate portions of client reach-outs, helping shape and streamline the collections workflow as the tooling rolls out.
Note: This is a remote role for a U.S.-based independent contractor.
Hours & Compensation

• Estimated 10-20 hours per week.
• Flexibility is valued - we may want additional hours earlier in the engagement to push on an AR cleanup if possible.
• Compensation: $30-50 per hour, depending on experience.
• Ongoing contract with no fixed end date.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end accounts receivable cycle for assigned clients, with a primary focus on client outreach and collections.
• Proactively research and identify the appropriate point of contact within client organizations for each invoice.
• Communicate professionally, clearly, and collaboratively with clients via email to resolve outstanding payments.
• Collaborate closely with the Accounting Manager, business development team, and appraisers to clarify invoice details and resolve discrepancies.
• Monitor the overall AR balance and drive it down through consistent, organized follow-up.
• Manage a high volume of client accounts and follow-ups with diligence and attention to detail.
• Support payment application and reconciliation as needed.
• Use our upcoming automation system for client reach-outs, and help streamline AR workflows as new tools are rolled out.
• Flag recurring issues or patterns in payment delays to leadership.
• Take on additional accounting tasks over time as the role evolves.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience owning accounts receivable end to end in a B2B, transactional business (rather than a subscription-based model).
• An ownership mindset: you want to run this function, not just work a queue, and you bring the diligence a complex collections process requires.
• Accounting background or degree is a strong plus.
• Experience with an ERP or accounting software (NetSuite is a plus, not required).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to communicate professionally yet naturally with clients.
• Highly organized, personable, and collaborative working style.
• Comfortable working core hours aligned with U.S. Eastern Time.
• Based in the United States and authorized to work as an independent contractor.
• Genuine interest in AR/collections work.

The pay range for this role is:
30 - 50 USD per hour (Remote (United States))
