About The Opportunity

A growing, fast-paced organization is seeking an entry-level Credit & Collections Specialist to join their collaborative accounting team. This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who is eager to build experience in accounts receivable, collections, and credit management within a supportive and team-oriented environment.

This team values energy, accountability, and a strong work ethic—they’re looking for someone who is motivated to learn, not afraid to pick up the phone, and ready to make an immediate impact.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct high-volume collections outreach via phone and email on outstanding receivables
  • Review and analyze accounts receivable aging reports to prioritize follow-ups
  • Send invoices, statements, and manage credit holds as needed
  • Investigate and resolve customer deductions and short payments (high volume)
  • Assist with cleaning up complex/backlogged aging and organizing account details
  • Partner with internal teams to improve AR processes and reduce outstanding balances

Qualifications

Required:

  • Strong Excel skills, including Pivot Tables and VLOOKUP
  • Excellent communication skills and comfort with frequent outbound calls
  • Positive, proactive mindset with a strong sense of urgency and ownership
  • Highly organized with attention to detail

Preferred

  • Prior experience in accounts receivable, collections, or customer-facing roles

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Strong team culture – collaborative, social, and supportive environment (team events, potlucks, etc.)
  • Opportunity to build foundational accounting skills and grow within the organization
  • Leadership team is hands-on and invested in developing entry-level talent
  • Clear path to long-term employment for the right individual
