Accounts Receivable Manager

About the role

We are seeking a hands-on Accounts Receivable Manager to lead Slate’s AR function across reservation deposits, vehicle sales, and merchandise.

Responsibilities

• Cash Application & Customer Balances - Own daily cash application across reservation deposits, vehicle balance payments, and merchandise sales, ensuring each cash event ties to the correct customer and order.
• Manage refunds, chargebacks, cancellations, and the conversion of deposits as customers progress from reservation to delivery.
• AR Close & Reconciliations - Own AR month-end close, including customer deposit liability, AR aging, processor and lender receivables, and payment processor AR reconciliation. Operate the daily and monthly AR reconciliations across processors, auto financing partners, and bank accounts, clearing breaks at the source rather than letting them carry.
• Prepare AR-related close-time disclosure inputs in accordance with Slate's Cash Policy and Customer Deposits SOP.
• AR Operations & Team - Build and lead the AR function as volumes scale, hiring and developing analysts as transaction volume warrants. Establish AR policies, procedures, and KPIs (DSO, unapplied cash aging, exception rates) and report performance to Accounting and Treasury leadership. Manage AR-relevant vendor relationships with payment processors, financing partners, and SaaS providers on configuration, support, and roadmap items.
• Controls & SOX - Design and document AR controls for a SOX-ready environment ahead of IPO, including reviewer sign-off, segregation of duties, and evidence retention. Maintain process narratives and risk and control matrices that stay current as systems and volumes evolve.
• O2C and Bank-to-Book Partnership - Represent AR in Slate's order-to-cash and bank-to-book design work led by Treasury, Accounting, and Digital, bringing a clear point of view on how AR should fit into the target architecture across order capture tool, OMS, payment processors, auto financing partners, NetSuite, the future TMS, and FloQast. Provide AR requirements and acceptance criteria for system changes that touch customer payments, customer balances, or AR sub-ledgers, and lead AR-side user acceptance testing. Flag downstream AR impacts of upstream changes (new payment methods, new sales channels, pricing changes) before they go live.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of accounts receivable or accounting operations experience, including 3+ years in a manager or lead capacity.
• Strong AR fundamentals: cash application, customer deposit accounting, AR close, reconciliations, aging analysis, and DSO management.
• Working knowledge of NetSuite AR (or comparable ERP) and experience operating in or implementing an order management system, payment processor (Adyen, Stripe, or similar), and a close platform (FloQast, BlackLine, or similar).
• A clear point of view on how modern AR, OMS, ERP, and treasury systems should connect, with the credibility to engage Treasury, Accounting, and Digital partners on architecture decisions.
• Experience writing functional requirements, leading user acceptance testing, and partnering with IT or vendors through system implementations.
• Familiarity with SOX requirements for AR-relevant systems and processes, ideally in a pre-IPO or recently public-company environment.
• Advanced Excel skills; comfort with SQL or query-based reporting tools is a plus.
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, growth-stage environment where AR processes are still being built rather than maintained.
