Smart Credit Evaluation: You will guide our commercial risk by evaluating new and existing customers through financial statement analysis and credit checks, setting smart credit limits that protect our bottom line.
Full-Cycle AR: You will manage invoicing, cash application, and collections, keeping a close eye on AR aging reports and proactively resolving any billing disputes or high-risk accounts.
