What You'll Do:

  • Own accounts receivable aging across all active district accounts — produce and distribute a comprehensive weekly AR aging report to the Sr. Manager and VP every Monday without exception
  • Execute a structured, proactive collections outreach program with defined touchpoints at Day 15, Day 30, and Day 45 for all outstanding invoices, maintaining professionalism and relationship continuity throughout
  • Identify and escalate accounts exceeding 60 days past due to the Sr. Manager, providing complete account history, payment correspondence, and a recommended course of action
  • Serve as the initial point of intake for all district billing inquiries and disputes — log, triage, and brief the Sr. Manager within 24 hours of receipt, ensuring no dispute goes unacknowledged
  • Facilitate payment method setup and onboarding for district accounts, including ACH enrollment, check processing coordination, and portal payment configuration
  • Provide investigative support to the Sr. Manager during dispute resolution, supplying payment history, prior dispute patterns, and client relationship context
  • Prepare and maintain complete documentation in support of Legal escalations, including payment history records, written correspondence, and account timelines
  • Identify potentially uncollectable balances and present findings to the Sr. Manager for Revenue Accounting bad debt write-off assessment
  • Produce the monthly AR aging summary for distribution to the CFO and senior leadership
  • Monitor field trip and charter payment status across all active accounts, proactively surfacing unpaid balances approaching service authorization thresholds

    Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience in collections, accounts receivable, or billing operations — prior experience working with government entities, public agencies, or school districts is a meaningful differentiator
  • A demonstrated track record of measurably reducing AR aging and improving collections rates through the consistent application of structured outreach processes and escalation frameworks
  • Experience managing a diverse portfolio of accounts with varying payment behaviors, AP structures, billing contacts, and escalation sensitivities — including clients with complex internal approval and payment authorization processes
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills — the ability to follow up on past-due balances in a manner that is professional, firm, and relationship-preserving
  • Working proficiency in NetSuite or a comparable enterprise ERP — including AR reporting, invoice history review, open item management, and payment application tracking
  • Exceptional organizational discipline and attention to detail — the ability to manage a large volume of open items simultaneously without allowing anything to age unacknowledged
  • The ability to document a billing dispute thoroughly and accurately, providing the leadership with a complete, well-organized intake package that enables efficient investigation and resolution
    • Nice to Haves

  • Experience managing receivables for government-funded or regulated clients with complex internal payment authorization processes
  • Familiarity with multi-entity billing structures requiring collections outreach across multiple contacts within a single organization
  • Experience supporting Legal escalation processes including preparation of demand letter documentation and payment history packages
