About the Role:

• Negotiate and document payment plans where appropriate, ensuring terms are realistic and followed through.
• Escalate unresolved or delinquent accounts based on internal protocols, balancing urgency with client relationship management.
• Maintain thorough documentation of all collection activities in systems like NetSuite, Xero, and internal databases.
• Prepare regular reports on collection status, risk accounts, and resolution progress; flag trends and recommend action plans.
• Recommend and implement process improvements or automation opportunities, especially those that reduce manual work or accelerate cash flow.
• Support the optimization of billing-to-collection workflows by integrating tools like Xero, NetSuite, and automation platforms (e.g., Zapier, Zoho, Google Workspace).
• Stay updated on best practices, policies, and compliance standards related to B2B collections and offshore service billing.
• Take on additional finance-related tasks as needed to support team and company goals

What You Bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or any related field.
• At least 2–3 years of experience in collections, accounts receivable, or finance operations.

Skills & Competencies:

• Strong leadership and team coordination skills, even in cross-functional setups.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, especially when working with international clients and partners.
• High attention to detail with a proactive and solutions-oriented approach.
• Familiarity with CRM tools, Google Workspace, and quality assurance processes.
• Strong organizational and analytical skills; ability to multitask and prioritize in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
• Experience identifying process bottlenecks and implementing automation or improvements is a big plus.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience working in B2B, offshore, or startup environments.
• Proficiency in NetSuite and/or Xero.
• Proven track record in managing complex client accounts and navigating sensitive payment conversations.
• Background in process automation or improvement initiatives using tools like Knack, Zapier, or similar platforms.

Nice to Have:

• Fluency in financial tools beyond Xero/NetSuite – such as Power BI, Tableau, or Google Data Studio to visualize and report collections metrics.
• Comfort with contract and legal basics – knows how to read a contract and flag payment terms or escalation paths.
• Project management experience – capable of running internal clean-up projects (e.g., invoice audits, policy updates, data migration).
