About the position

The role of an Accounts Receivable Specialist at Silver Eagle Distributors LP involves managing the complete accounts receivable cycle. This includes handling cash management, tracking and recording payments, and overseeing collections and reconciliations. By ensuring smooth processing and accurate records, this position plays a crucial part in maintaining the financial health of the company and supporting its valued partners. As an Accounts Receivable Specialist, you will manage the daily processing of financial transactions including the receipt, processing, and reconciliation of accounts receivables. You will maintain A/R statements of internal and external customers to ensure accounts are up to date, credits and payments are applied, uncollectible amounts are accounted for, and miscellaneous differences are cleared. Monitoring activity across vendor and supplier partner systems to review open invoices and other source short paid items will also be part of your responsibilities. You will match the contractual obligations and payments of each internal and external account, generate check requests as needed to ensure the resolution of refunds owed to customers, and provide managers and employees with accurate payment and account status information. Following up with customers and suppliers on outstanding balances until a resolution is attained is essential, as is regularly communicating with the Accounts Receivable Manager on accounts requiring attention.
