At Near, we help top talent in Latin America find remote roles with US companies. Our mission is to create better lives by fostering a remote work culture that transcends borders.
About Our Client
Our client is a fast-growing company in the commercial real estate appraisal industry, generating approximately $30M in annual revenue. They write appraisal reports that assess the value of commercial properties—such as hotels and apartment complexes—for a wide range of clients. As a transactional, B2B business with hundreds of active clients and varied payment processes, they are looking to strengthen their accounting operations with a dedicated Accounts Receivable specialist.
About the Role
Join our US client on their mission to keep their accounts receivable operations running smoothly as they continue to scale. We are looking for an AR Specialist to join their lean, collaborative accounting team, reporting directly to the Accounting Manager.
This role will own the end-to-end AR process—primarily focused on client outreach and collections—working closely with the accounting, business development, and appraisal teams to ensure invoices are paid accurately and on time. This is a great opportunity for someone who genuinely enjoys AR work and wants to fully own a critical function within a growing business, with the potential to take on broader accounting responsibilities over time as new automation tools are introduced.
Note: This is a remote, contractor role.
Key Responsibilities
Own the end-to-end accounts receivable cycle, with a primary focus on client outreach and collections.
Proactively research and identify the appropriate point of contact within client organizations for each invoice.
Communicate professionally, clearly, and collaboratively with clients via email to resolve outstanding payments.
Collaborate closely with the Accounting Manager, business development team, and appraisers to clarify invoice details and resolve discrepancies.
Monitor the overall AR balance and help drive it down through consistent, organized follow-up.
Manage a high volume of client accounts and follow-ups in an organized, detail-oriented manner.
Support payment application and reconciliation as needed.
Adapt to new AR automation and software tools as they are rolled out, helping streamline existing workflows.
Flag recurring issues or patterns in payment delays to leadership.
Take on additional accounting tasks over time as the role evolves.
What We're Looking For
Proven experience owning accounts receivable end-to-end, ideally within a B2B, transactional business (rather than a simple subscription-based model).
Accounting background or degree is a strong plus.
Experience with an ERP or accounting software (NetSuite is a plus, not required).
Excellent written and verbal English communication skills; able to communicate professionally yet naturally with clients.
Highly organized, personable, and collaborative working style.
Comfortable working core hours aligned with US Eastern Time (9 AM–5/6 PM ET).
Genuine interest in AR/collections work, with no immediate desire to move away from it.
