Manager Accounts Receivable Processing and Reconciliation
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We need to parse the job description.
Given content:
- Job Title: Manager Accounts Receivable Processing and Reconciliation (but we should not repeat as heading)
- Dept/Div: Account Receivable Reconciliation and Process
- Work Location: 420 Lexington Ave
- Full/Part-Time: FULL
- Salary Range $102,284 - $113,649
- Deadline Until filled
- Teleworking: one day per week
- New hires eligible to apply 30 days after effective hire date.
- Opening paragraph about MTA.
- Position Objective: To effectively manage and direct the financial processes related to Metro-North ("MNR") Accounts Receivable functions and processes. It is expected that the position provides accurate and timely for billing processes, financial reporting, and month-end close.
- Responsibilities: a long list.
- Required Qualifications: includes Required Knowledge/Skills/Abilities, Required Education And Experience, Preferred Education & Experience.
- Other Information: includes FDS filing requirement, EEO statement (boilerplate to remove), etc.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove the EEO paragraph and maybe the "Other Information" about FDS? That's not boilerplate? It's a specific requirement: "Pursuant to the New York State Public Officers Law & the MTA Code of Ethics, all employees who hold a policymaking position must file an Annual Statement of Financial Disclosure (FDS) with the NYS Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Government (the “Commission”)." That's substantive, not boilerplate. Keep it.
We also need to remove duplicated lines. Not seeing duplicates.
We need to format sections.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (maybe the opening paragraph + position objective?), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Required Qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe separate?), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have Salary Range => Pay section.
We have teleworking info (one day per week) maybe under Schedule? Or maybe under Benefits? Teleworking is a benefit. Could be under Benefits. But we only create sections if posting has real specific content. Teleworking is a specific benefit: "eligible for teleworking, which is currently one day per week." Also "New hires are eligible to apply 30 days after their effective hire date." That's more about eligibility, maybe not a benefit.
We have no explicit Benefits list besides teleworking. Could include Benefits section with that.
Schedule: maybe full-time? Could include Schedule section with "FULL" (full-time). But that's just full-time; maybe we can include Schedule with "Full-time". However rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state full-time and teleworking. So we can include Schedule (Full-time) and Benefits (Teleworking one day per week, plus maybe new hire eligibility 30 days after hire). But we need to avoid filler like "not specified". We have specifics.
We also have Deadline Until filled (maybe not a section). Could be omitted as minor metadata.
We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
Thus we need to extract details and present them in HTML.
Let's outline:
- About the role: could combine opening paragraph about MTA and Position Objective. That's prose.
- Responsibilities: list of duties. Use
- .
- Requirements: maybe combine Required Knowledge/Skills/Abilities, Required Education And Experience, Preferred Education & Experience. Could be a list.
- Qualifications: maybe separate? But we might combine Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have both Requirements and Qualifications sections if content distinct.
We have Required Knowledge/Skills/Abilities (skills), Required Education And Experience (qualifications), Preferred Education & Experience (maybe also qualifications). Could treat Skills as separate section.
Thus:
- Requirements: maybe the mandatory qualifications (education + experience). Could be a list.
- Qualifications: maybe the preferred qualifications? Or we could treat Required Knowledge/Skills/Abilities as Skills section.
Let's decide:
Section headings we will include:
- About the role (prose)
- Responsibilities (list)
- Skills (list) from Required Knowledge/Skills/Abilities
- Requirements (list) from Required Education And Experience + maybe Preferred Education & Experience? But preferred is not required; maybe we put under Qualifications.
- Qualifications (list) from Preferred Education & Experience (maybe also include other info like FDS filing requirement? That's other information, maybe under About the role or a separate "Other Information" but not in allowed headings. Could fold into About the role as a paragraph.
- Benefits (list) teleworking one day per week, maybe also mention new hire eligibility 30 days after hire (though that's not a benefit). Could also include "Eligible for teleworking (one day per week)". That's it.
- Pay (list or prose) Salary Range $102,284 - $113,649.
- Schedule (list) Full-time; maybe also mention teleworking one day per week? But teleworking is benefit; schedule is full-time.
We need to avoid duplication: teleworking appears in both Benefits and Schedule? We'll keep only in Benefits.
Now we need to ensure we don't create sections with filler text. All sections have specific content.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's craft.
First, About the role: combine opening paragraph about MTA and Position Objective.
Opening: "The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is North America's largest transportation network, serving a population of 15.3 million people across a 5,000-square-mile travel area surrounding New York City, Long Island, southeastern New York State, and Connecticut. The MTA network comprises the nation’s largest bus fleet and more subway and commuter rail cars than all other U.S. transit systems combined. MTA strives to provide a safe and reliable commute, excellent customer service, and rewarding opportunities."
Position Objective: "To effectively manage and direct the financial processes related to Metro-North ("MNR") Accounts Receivable functions and processes. It is expected that the position provides accurate and timely for billing processes, financial reporting, and month-end close."
We can combine into a couple paragraphs.
Now Responsibilities: list each bullet from the responsibilities paragraph. The responsibilities paragraph is a long sentence with many items separated by periods. We need to split into list items.
Let's extract:
- Manager has all responsibilities related to month-end close, work order delegation and review, maintaining A/R database, and reconciliation of AR Reports to General Ledger.
- Prepare monthly and quarterly CDOT Capital billing and collection reports.
- Review all relevant third-party invoices to ensure compliance with the service agreements.
- Manage general ledger activities, journal entry adjustments, account analysis, and account distribution related to assigned A/R accounts.
- Oversee the month-end closing, direct the analysis of variances to the General Ledger and determine causes and required corrective measures needed.
- Manage mentoring of staff member(s) and cross-training of key functions within the Accounts Receivable group. Tasks include reviewing and updating accounting procedure instructions, process walkthrough and hands-on practice.
- Ensure compliance with the audit provisions and timelines dictated by the contracts.
- Assist in the single-audit requests for various projects, RWA billings, and 3rd party requests.
- Corresponding with internal & external audit; provide supports & resolve issues with auditors.
- Select, develop and motivate personnel within the department. Provide career development for subordinates. Provide prompt and effective coaching and counseling.
- Responsible for discipline/termination of employees when necessary.
- Review performance of staff.
- Create a professional environment that respects individual differences and enables all employees to develop and contribute to their full potential.
- Performs other duties as assigned.
We need to keep all.
Now Skills: from Required Knowledge/Skills/Abilities:
- Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Excel and Access.
- Experience with Peoplesoft Finance Modules or related system.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Excellent organizational and presentation skills.
- Demonstrated ability to work with all internal levels within a given organization.
- Demonstrated ability to communicate and interact well with external agencies.
- Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively with key internal and/or external stakeholders.
- Must have strong managerial skills to effectively direct a staff of professional and technical employees in implementing the short- and long-term goals and direction for the area of responsibility.
- Demonstrated analytical capabilities and quantitative skills.
- Demonstrated proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite or comparable applications, i.e., Access, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.
We could combine some duplicates: "Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Excel and Access" and "Demonstrated proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite or comparable applications, i.e., Access, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook." Both are about MS Office; we keep both as separate items? Might be redundant but we must preserve all substantive information; we can keep both.
Now Requirements: from Required Education And Experience:
- Bachelor’s Degree in Arts/Sciences (BA/BS) in Accounting or Finance.
- An equivalent combination of education and experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
- Minimum 5 years related experience.
Also maybe include "Minimum 3 years in a managerial and/or leadership role." That's preferred, not required. So we put under Qualifications.
Now Qualifications: from Preferred Education & Experience:
- Minimum 3 years in a managerial and/or leadership role.
- Prior experience working in a large, multi-faceted, fast-paced organization or governmental body.
Also maybe include "New hires are eligible to apply 30 days after their effective hire date." That's not a qualification; maybe we put under Benefits or Other Information. But we can put under Benefits? It's not a benefit; it's a condition. Could put under About the role as a note. But we have no section for that. Could include under "Other Information" but not allowed heading. Could fold into About the role as a sentence.
Also "Pursuant to the New York State Public Officers Law & the MTA Code of Ethics, all employees who hold a policymaking position must file an Annual Statement of Financial Disclosure (FDS) with the NYS Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Government (the “Commission”)." That's other info; we could put under About the role as a paragraph.
Now Benefits: teleworking one day per week.
Also maybe "New hires are eligible to apply 30 days after their effective hire date." That's not a benefit; it's a condition of eligibility. Could be considered under "Other Information". But we don't have a heading for that. Could we include under About the role? Might be okay.
But we need to preserve all substantive information; we can include it in a paragraph under About the role or maybe under a separate section "Other Information" but not allowed. The instruction says we can only use those headings; we should not create other headings. So we must fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. The new hire eligibility is minor metadata; we can fold into a short
maybe under About the role or at end.
Similarly, the FDS filing requirement is also minor metadata but substantive; we can fold into a short
.
Thus About the role can have multiple paragraphs: opening MTA description, position objective, plus note about FDS filing and new hire eligibility.
Now Pay: Salary Range $102,284 - $113,649.
Schedule: Full-time (FULL). Could also mention "
