Goodwin · Columbus, OH · 3 wk ago
Full-time

Responsibilities

  • Manage Goodwin's full accounts receivable (AR) portfolio and collection strategy.
  • Maintain a consistent cadence of calls, emails, and statements to actual decision-makers.
  • Secure specific payment commitments, track them, and enforce follow-through.
  • Separate undisputed balances from disputed ones and pursue collections without delay.
  • Recommend credit holds, term changes, and repayment plans when accounts become problematic.
  • Oversee trip-level revenue control with a complete understanding of each trip's economics, including charter charges, FET, commissions, fees, incidentals, post-trip adjustments, refunds, and credits.
  • Reconcile invoices, trip records, payment activity, credit memos, and the general ledger (GL).
  • Investigate short payments, duplicate deductions, and unsupported credits.
  • Ensure prompt, well-documented post-trip billing so customers have the information needed to approve payment.
  • Perform accurate and timely cash application for ACH, wire, card, and platform payments.
  • Resolve unapplied and unidentified cash.
  • Implement controls around credit memos, offsets, write-offs, and adjustments.
  • Maintain alignment between the AR subledger, trip records, bank activity, and the GL.
  • Support month-end close, bad debt analysis, reserves, and audit processes.
  • Produce a credible weekly receivables report covering aging, commitments, disputes, escalations, and expected collection dates.
  • Develop a reliable short-term cash collection forecast.
  • Track collection performance, dispute cycle time, aging migration, and unapplied cash.
  • Provide actionable recommendations, not just status updates.
  • Establish one trusted source of truth for receivables.
  • Document collection, dispute, credit, and escalation procedures.
  • Identify operational root causes behind late billing and recurring disputes.
  • Partner with Product and Engineering teams to automate manual collection and reconciliation work.
  • Improve the use of NetSuite and surrounding systems.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience owning complex accounts receivable and revenue operations in a high-growth B2B environment.
  • Personal ownership of a significant, high-volume receivables portfolio.
  • A track record of partnering with customers and internal teams to resolve complex billing, payment, and reconciliation challenges.
  • Strong accounting fundamentals: invoicing, cash application, credit memos, reconciliation, bad debt, and GL.
  • Advanced Excel skills and hands-on experience with NetSuite or a comparable ERP system.
  • Ability to work with transaction-level data and identify the source of discrepancies.
  • Confidence speaking directly with business owners and senior customer executives.
  • Sound commercial judgment about when to push, negotiate, pull in the relationship owner, or recommend a credit hold.
  • Comfort operating in environments where systems and processes are still being built.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in private aviation, freight brokerage, logistics, transportation, travel, payments, fintech, or another transaction-heavy service business.
  • Experience standing up an AR or revenue control function rather than inheriting one.
  • This role is better suited for an experienced commercial collections and revenue control operator than a technical accountant who has never personally owned customer collections.
