Accounts Receivable Manager

Randstad Technologies
Northbrook, IL

The Accounts Receivable Manager leads the credit-to-cash cycle, ensuring the company maintains a healthy cash flow through efficient invoicing and diligent collections. This role focuses on optimizing DSO, managing the AR team, and balancing firm credit enforcement with positive customer relationships.

An Accounts Receivable (AR) Manager is the guardian of a company’s cash flow. It’s a role that requires a unique blend of "numbers person" precision and "people person" diplomacy—you have to ensure the bills get paid without alienating the customers who pay them.
