You will join our lean, collaborative accounting team, reporting directly to the Accounting Manager, and work closely with the accounting, business development, and appraisal teams to ensure invoices are paid accurately and on time.</span></p><p style="font-family:"Basel Grotesk",Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:1.6;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:4px 0px;padding:0px;"><br></p><p style="font-family:"Basel Grotesk",Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:1.38;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:0pt 0px;padding:0px;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:11pt;white-space:pre-wrap;">This is not a light-touch collections role. As a transactional, B2B business with hundreds of active clients and widely varied payment processes, our AR cycle is a complex, multi-step process that requires diligence, organization, and consistent follow-through. We are looking for someone who wants to help with this function with a high degree of ownership — and who treats the AR balance as their number for those clients which have been assigned to them.</span></p><p style="font-family:"Basel Grotesk",Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:1.6;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:4px 0px;padding:0px;"><br></p><p

collections workflow as the tooling rolls out.</span></p><p style="font-family:"Basel Grotesk",Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:1.6;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:4px
