Hartsville, SC, US

Synopsis: Posseses pragmatic knowledge within corporate finance and data analytics. Administers analytical and critical thinking skills to inform senior management of operational issues. Responsible for close to $1 billion in collections per annum. Operates with superior performance in a fast-paced environment.• A/R Collections for over 500 customers. Using the aging from each business unit I preform collections for past due invoices and deductions. This includes filing claims within vendor portals, sending past due invoice notices, and validating deductions. Using logistics, I compare each invoice with its corresponding POD or shipping documents to identify deduction. More complex issues require a thorough investigation of other documentation such as vendor agreements, loading diagrams, purchase orders.• Project management for daily A/R activities for two Business Units (Hilex & Duro). The process begins with pulling cash from the daily incoming deposits from both bank accounts, gathering remittances for each transaction, posting cash within our ERP system, reconciling cash between our ERP system and bank statements, then business to business collections for deductions and invoices.• Reporting and analyses are a major part of my role. Some examples include: comparative analysis open deductions reports, over 90 days reports, open invoice reports, open deductions reports, over deductions report, and aging reports. I have been successful at keeping the average past due percentages of Accounts Receivable below 5% for the 500+ customers I manage.• Special task I manage include conducting regression analysis on problem customers, switching customers to from check to ACH, implementing new customer accounts in ERP systems, updating the finance portal, monitoring credit limits, audit requests, updating notes for invoices and deductions.
