THE COMPANY

An established, privately held company in the Upstate of South Carolina with a strong track record of growth. This is a family-oriented business with a culture built around collaboration, work-life balance, and long-term employee relationships, and it has the stability to back that up.

THE ROLE

The Accounts Receivable Associate plays a central role on the accounting team, supporting the full accounts receivable and billing cycle. The scope is broader than pure invoice follow-up: this position also owns customer credit evaluation, including setting credit terms and limits and processing new credit applications, and works closely with the sales team on order releases and dispute resolution.

• Evaluate and establish customer credit terms and credit limits, and process new credit applications
• Review and release customer orders in coordination with current credit and payment status
• Partner with the sales team to resolve customer disputes, negotiate payment arrangements, and facilitate order releases
• Work directly with customers to address invoice discrepancies and maintain positive business relationships
• Recommend accounts for escalation, write-off, or adjustment of payment terms based on account standing
• Support cash application processes and contribute to broader accounting projects as needed

QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience in accounts receivable, billing, or a related accounting role
• An accounting or finance degree is a plus, not a requirement
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to interact professionally with internal and external stakeholders
• High attention to detail with strong analytical capabilities
• Proficiency with standard office productivity software, including spreadsheet and word processing applications
• Self-motivated with the ability to work independently and take initiative
• Professional, approachable demeanor with a collaborative, team-first attitude
