About the Role

Careerscape is recruiting on behalf of our client, an established New Jersey-based organization, for a full-time Remote Accounts Receivable Clerk. This is a great opportunity for an early-career finance professional to build a foundation in accounts receivable, working with a supportive team and modern accounting tools from the comfort of home.

The day-to-day centers on keeping customer accounts accurate and current: posting payments, reconciling balances, and following up on open invoices. You will thrive in this role if you are detail-oriented, comfortable working independently in a remote setting, communicate clearly with customers and colleagues, and are eager to learn and grow within an accounting function.

Key Responsibilities

  • Post customer payments, including checks, ACH, wire, and credit card, to the correct accounts accurately and on time
  • Prepare and send customer invoices and statements according to billing schedules
  • Monitor open invoices and the accounts receivable aging report
  • Contact customers by phone and email to follow up on past-due balances and secure payment
  • Resolve billing discrepancies and payment disputes in partnership with internal teams
  • Reconcile customer accounts and match payments to outstanding invoices
  • Prepare daily cash receipts and assist with bank deposit reconciliations
  • Maintain organized and accurate customer account records and supporting documentation
  • Support month-end close activities by providing AR reports and account reconciliations
  • Escalate high-risk or long-overdue accounts to the AR Supervisor or Controller

Requirements

  • High school diploma or equivalent required; Associate or Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business preferred
  • 0 to 1 year of accounts receivable, billing, or general accounting experience; internships and relevant coursework welcome
  • Basic understanding of accounting principles and the invoicing and collections process
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Office
  • Familiarity with accounting or ERP software such as QuickBooks, NetSuite, or Sage is a plus
  • Strong attention to detail and accuracy with numbers
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills for customer follow-up
  • Ability to manage time, prioritize tasks, and meet deadlines independently
  • Reliable high-speed internet and a quiet home workspace

Benefits & Perks

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) retirement plan with company match
  • Generous paid time off and paid holidays
  • Fully remote work with flexible home-office setup
  • Home office equipment provided or stipend offered
  • Paid training and onboarding to build accounting skills
  • Tuition assistance and professional development opportunities
  • Life and disability insurance
  • Employee assistance program and wellness resources
