What are the responsibilities and job description for the Accounts Receivable Manager position at Maverick Search Partners?
Accounts Receivable & Billing Manager
📍 Marietta, GA (Hybrid) | Full-Time | Finance & Accounting
Let's talk cash flow — and the chaos of collecting it across a decentralized world.
We're partnering with a growing, service-driven organization to find an AR & Billing Manager who genuinely likes untangling the messy middle of Order-to-Cash.
If you've ever looked at a tangle of billing entities, mismatched invoices, and aging that's gone rogue and thought "give me twenty minutes and a spreadsheet," keep reading. This one's for you.
This isn't a seat-warming, click-approve-and-go role.
You'll own billing accuracy and collections performance in an environment where the billing doesn't all live in one tidy place — multiple locations, multiple service lines, multiple ways things have "always been done." Your job is to bring order to it: standardize, automate, and turn scattered processes into something scalable and audit-proof.
What you'll actually be doing:
- Owning the full Order-to-Cash lifecycle — contract validation, order setup, invoicing, cash application, collections, dispute resolution, and credit management
- Running accurate, on-time billing across service lines in a decentralized billing environment (this is the heart of the role — you're the person who makes distributed billing behave)
- Driving a collections strategy that actually moves DSO in the right direction, through aging oversight, smart escalation, and real partnership with Sales and Operations
- Keeping cash application clean across every payment channel — taming unapplied cash, short payments, and reconciliations
- Building structured dispute management with real root-cause analysis (not just firefighting)
- Setting credit policy, running risk assessments, and protecting the business from bad debt
- Delivering AR reporting that leadership trusts — DSO, aging, collections forecasting, bad debt trends
- Leading automation and process-improvement initiatives so the team spends less time on cleanup and more time on impact
- Coaching and building a high-performing, customer-focused AR team
- Collaborating across Sales, Ops, Legal, and IT on contracts, billing triggers, and system integrations
What makes you a fit:
- 7–10 years in AR or Order-to-Cash, with 3 years leading a team
- Experience in service-based or project-driven businesses (professional services, consulting, and similar worlds where billing is anything but cookie-cutter)
- You've survived and thrived in a decentralized billing setup — bonus points if you brought order to one
- Strong ERP fluency and a real command of AR best practices
- A process-improver at heart — you see inefficiency and you can't help but fix it
- Bachelor's in Accounting, Finance, or related field (preferred)
The fine print:
Office-based / hybrid (4 days in office).
Expect some extended hours around month-end close and audits.
