About Us
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 the Company
Our client is a creative media holding company in Southern California that runs four entities in commercial production, post-production and advertising through a shared services team. Its companies produce high volumes of advertising work for agencies and repeat clients, which makes for a fast-moving, project-based finance environment.
About the Role
As the AP/AR Specialist, you will own accounts payable and accounts receivable for four entities. You will manage the AP and AR inboxes, issue invoices, follow up on payments with clients and producers, pay vendors, and code every transaction to the right entity and project.
You will report to the Accounting Manager and work on a small finance team. The company is rolling out a new accounting system and an internal AI tool for collections, so you will learn alongside the team and help shape how things are done.
This role suits a hands-on, organized person who tracks many deadlines across companies and never lets anything slip. You write clear, friendly emails, chase overdue payments with tact, and keep good relationships with repeat clients.
