AR Specialist - Temporary Position - Rockford, IL

Accounts Receivable Specialist (Temporary Project Role)

Come help us clean it up, collect it, and build the process.

We’re looking for an experienced Accounts Receivable professional to step into a short-term project role at our headquarters in Rockford. This is a hands-on position focused on collections, payment processing, and helping bring structure to our AR workflow.

Right now, this work is getting done — but the process behind it hasn’t been fully built yet. That’s where you come in.

This role is ideal for someone who has spent several years managing receivables, understands how collections should run in a larger organization, and enjoys bringing order to messy or undefined processes. You’ll help us work through current receivables while also helping document and shape how this work should run going forward.

This is a temporary assignment expected to last about 3–4 months.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll work closely with our Corporate Finance team to manage incoming payments, strengthen collections efforts, and help bring consistency to how receivables are handled. Your work will include:

• Managing collections activity across a large receivables portfolio
• Receiving, reviewing, and depositing customer payments including checks, ACH, and wire transfers
• Posting and applying payments within our accounting systems
• Reconciling customer accounts and resolving payment discrepancies
• Maintaining accurate AR aging reports
• Following up directly with clients on outstanding balances
• Working with internal teams to resolve billing issues or payment delays
• Identifying delinquent accounts and escalating collection efforts when necessary
• Helping document and improve collections processes and communication standards
• Building repeatable procedures for AR workflows that can scale over time
  
  

You’ll primarily work in NetSuite and Carbon as part of this process.

What Makes Someone Successful In This Role

This role works best for someone who is comfortable stepping into an environment that needs structure and bringing clarity to it. You likely:

• Have significant experience managing collections and accounts receivable
• Have worked with larger AR portfolios, not just small volumes of accounts
• Are confident following up with clients and navigating payment conversations
• Can operate independently and keep work moving forward
• Are naturally organized and process-oriented
• Have experience helping define or improve AR workflows and documentation
• Pay close attention to detail and maintain strong financial accuracy
  
  

Work Location & Schedule

This role requires working in person at our headquarters in Rockford, Illinois.

• Location: Rockford, IL
• Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:00am–5:00pm
• Duration: Approximately 3–4 months
• Candidates must be able to reliably work on-site for the duration of the assignment
• Compensation: Competitive hourly rate in the range of $29.50–$40.50 per hour, based on experience and qualifications
  
  

Qualifications

Qualifications

• 5 years of progressive Accounts Receivable experience, ideally at a senior specialist or manager level
• Strong background in collections and receivables management
• Experience working within larger AR environments and managing significant receivable balances
• Familiarity with NetSuite strongly preferred

• Strong Excel and accounting system experience
• Excellent organizational, communication, and follow-up skills
