Accounts Receivable Specialist
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use only sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions, deadline maybe? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove the "Application Deadline" line, also the "About Aston Carter" and equal opportunity etc. Also remove "Work Environment" maybe? It's not a specified heading but could be part of About the role? The spec says we can have sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content about responsibilities, qualifications, why join us (benefits?), work environment, job type & location, pay and benefits, workplace type. We need to map to allowed headings.
Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide which sections to include.
- About the role: could include introductory paragraph about opportunity, role description. That's present: "Looking for an opportunity to grow your accounting career ... We're seeking an Accounts Receivable Specialist to manage customer credit and payment activities, maintain accurate financial records, and support customers with account-related needs. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys problem-solving, working with numbers, and building strong relationships with both customers and internal teams." That's good.
- Responsibilities: list of duties. We have many bullet points under "Key Responsibilities". We'll output as - .
- Requirements: maybe combine qualifications and skills? The posting has "Qualifications" section with experience, data entry, software, Excel, organizational skills, customer service, etc. Also "Experience researching..." etc. Also "Associate degree or higher...". That's qualifications. Could also have "Skills" separate but we can put skills under Qualifications or Skills. The spec allows both Qualifications and Skills sections. We could split: Qualifications: education, experience; Skills: technical skills, software, Excel, etc. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's see content: Qualifications section includes: Experience in AR, AP, Credit, Collections, or General Accounting; Strong data entry skills; Experience working with accounting software and ERP systems (Eclipse and BillTrust experience is a plus); Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Office; Strong organizational skills; Excellent customer service, communication, and problem-solving abilities; Experience researching and resolving payment or account discrepancies; Knowledge of soft collections practices and customer account follow-up; Understanding of regulations related to collections, bankruptcy, liens, judgments, and related credit activities is preferred; Associate degree or higher in Accounting, Finance, or a related field preferred.
We could treat all as Qualifications. Or we could split: Qualifications: education and experience; Skills: technical skills (Excel, software, data entry, organizational, communication). But we need to avoid filler. Might be okay to have both sections with substantive content.
- Benefits: The posting has "Why Join Us?" and then "Work Environment", "Job Type & Location", "Pay And Benefits". Benefits list includes medical, dental, vision, critical illness, accident, hospital, 401(k), life insurance, disability, HSA, transportation benefits, EAP, time off. That's benefits. Also "Why Join Us?" includes opportunity to work across functions, collaborative team environment, diverse responsibilities, stable Monday-Friday schedule. That could be part of Benefits or maybe Schedule? But schedule is separate heading.
- Pay: The posting has pay range $19.18 - $25.14/hr. So we need a Pay section.
- Schedule: The posting mentions stable Monday-Friday schedule, work hours 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Also "Work Environment" includes standard business hours. So we can have Schedule section with that.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual specifics.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We must not include boilerplate like "About Aston Carter", EEO, etc. Also remove "Application Deadline". Also remove "Work Environment" maybe we incorporate into About the role or Schedule? But we have Schedule heading for hours. Work environment description about office setting, accuracy, collaboration could go under About the role or maybe under Benefits? But we already have Why Join Us? which is about collaborative team environment etc. That could be part of Benefits or maybe we could incorporate into About the role. However we have a Benefits section for tangible benefits. The "Why Join Us?" is more about role attributes, not benefits. Could be part of About the role. Let's include that in About the role.
Thus About the role will contain: introductory paragraph + "Why Join Us?" bullet points (converted to prose or list?). The spec says use
for prose,
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can put the Why Join Us? as a
- list under About the role? But that might be considered a list of benefits? It's not duties/requirements/benefits but could be a list. However spec says use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid using for other lists, but we can keep as
prose. Simpler: combine into a paragraph.
Thus About the role:
Looking for an opportunity to grow your accounting career with a company that values accuracy, customer service, and teamwork? We're seeking an Accounts Receivable Specialist to manage customer credit and payment activities, maintain accurate financial records, and support customers with account-related needs. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys problem-solving, working with numbers, and building strong relationships with both customers and internal teams. Opportunity to work across accounting, credit, collections, and customer service functions; collaborative team environment with opportunities to learn and grow; diverse responsibilities that make a direct impact on business operations; stable Monday-Friday schedule in a professional office setting.
Now Responsibilities: list each bullet.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract responsibilities:
- Manage the full lifecycle of customer credit applications, ensuring all documentation is complete and accurate
- Process and post customer payments, including cash, checks, credit card transactions, lockbox receipts, and local deposits
- Set up and maintain customer accounts, ensuring account information remains accurate and up to date
- Reconcile accounts receivable balances and investigate discrepancies or payment variances
- Monitor customer account activity, including payments, credits, adjustments, and outstanding balances
- Communicate with customers regarding account inquiries, payment issues, NSF checks, and credit-related concerns
- Support collections activities through professional follow-up and account resolution
- Maintain accurate customer records, credit files, and supporting documentation for compliance and audit purposes
- Research and resolve billing disputes and account discrepancies in a timely manner
- Assist with credit management projects, process improvements, and additional accounting-related responsibilities
- Apply knowledge of collections, bankruptcy, liens, judgments, bonds, and related regulations when handling customer accounts
- Protect confidential customer and financial information at all times
We'll output as - each.
Now Qualifications: we could list as
- each.
Qualifications list:
- Experience in Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Credit, Collections, or General Accounting
- Strong data entry skills with a high level of accuracy and attention to detail
- Experience working with accounting software and ERP systems (Eclipse and BillTrust experience is a plus)
- Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Office
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines

- Experience researching and resolving payment or account discrepancies
- Knowledge of soft collections practices and customer account follow-up
- Understanding of regulations related to collections, bankruptcy, liens, judgments, and related credit activities is preferred
- Associate degree or higher in Accounting, Finance, or a related field preferred
Now Skills: maybe we could separate technical skills: Experience with accounting software, ERP, Excel, data entry. But we already have those in Qualifications. To avoid thin sections, maybe we just have Qualifications and not Skills. But spec allows Skills section; we could omit if not needed. However we have distinct skills like "Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Office", "Strong data entry skills", "Experience working with accounting software and ERP systems". Those could be considered skills. But we can keep them under Qualifications. The spec says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So better to have fewer sections. Let's include About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Benefits, Schedule. That's six sections. Omit Skills and Requirements (maybe Requirements same as Qualifications). We'll not include Requirements.
Now Benefits: list from posting.
Benefits list:
- Medical, dental & vision
- Critical Illness, Accident, and Hospital
- 401(k) Retirement Plan – Pre-tax and Roth post-tax contributions available
- Life Insurance (Voluntary Life & AD&D for the employee and dependents)
- Short and long-term disability
- Health Spending Account (HSA)
- Transportation benefits
- Employee Assistance Program
- Time Off/Leave (PTO, Vacation or Sick Leave)
We should output as
- .
Now Pay: we have pay range $19.18 - $25.14/hr. Also note that individual compensation depends on factors. We'll include that as prose.
Schedule: we have stable Monday-Friday schedule, standard business hours from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Also mention "Work Environment" but we can incorporate into Schedule.
Thus Schedule section:
Stable Monday‑Friday schedule in a professional office setting, with standard business hours from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Now we need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "About Aston Carter", EEO, etc. Also remove "Job Type & Location" maybe we could incorporate location into About the role? But we have location: Fargo, ND. Could be included in About the role or maybe as a separate line. The spec says do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short or drop it. Location is minor metadata; we could fold into About the role paragraph. Let's add location: "based out of Fargo, ND." Also job type: Contract to Hire. Could also be included.
Thus About the role paragraph can include: "This is a Contract to Hire position based out of Fargo, ND." We'll incorporate.
Now check for any duplicated lines: we have not included duplicates.
Now output HTML fragment only, no or . We'll output sections in order: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Make sure to use
for each section heading.
Let's craft.
