About the Opportunity

Our client is a Canadian-led payments company that runs prepaid gift card programs for business customers. The team is about 60 people, with roughly half based in Canada, and reports under ASPE. Client funds are held in escrow and activated on the cardholder accounts once invoicing is complete.

The billings specialist has resigned, and the finance team needs an experienced interim to take over the full billings and AR cycle. A new Controller is joining next week, and a short handoff with the outgoing specialist is planned before their last day. Billings are currently built in Excel and entered manually into QuickBooks, and there is a backlog of aged receivables that needs attention.

You will own roughly 100 invoices each month, issued early in the month and completed by business day 6, along with cash application, AR aging and collections. The role reports day to day into the finance team, with the CFO overseeing the contract. The client is also starting ERP demos in December, so your view of how AR flows through the system will be welcomed.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare and issue approximately 100 invoices per month for the prepaid gift card program, completed by business day 6
• Build billings in Excel and enter them into QuickBooks accurately against client contracts
• Review contract terms before invoicing and flag non-standard or complex contracts to the Manager of Finance
• Coordinate with the team so funds are received into escrow and activated in the client accounts
• Apply incoming cash and reconcile payments to open invoices
• Maintain AR aging, track DSO and report on balances to finance leadership
• Work down the backlog of 30 to 40 aged invoices, sending first and second collection notices from QuickBooks
• Escalate unresolved collections to the Account Managers and follow through to resolution
• Complete the handoff with the outgoing billings specialist and document any gaps in the current process
• Share input on AR and billings flow-throughs as the team evaluates ERP options

What You Bring

• Intermediate-level accounting experience with hands-on billings and full-cycle AR
• Working knowledge of QuickBooks, including manual invoicing and cash application
• Strong Excel skills, including pivot tables
• Experience running collections and managing aged receivables
• Strong attention to detail when working with contracts that are similar but not standardized
• Comfortable working independently in a remote setting and taking over a process mid-stream
• Able to start next week

Nice to Have

• Experience in payments, prepaid card or fintech environments
• Exposure to an ERP evaluation or implementation
• Familiarity with ASPE reporting
