Accounts Receivable Jobs in Illinois

Accounts Receivable (AR) plays a vital role in the accounting industry, primarily responsible for managing and tracking money owed to a company by its clients. They perform vital tasks such as issuing invoices, processing payments, maintaining payment records, and addressing any discrepancies or customer queries. AR professionals are also instrumental in ensuring smooth cash flow, as their task involves timely follow-ups for the collection of due payments from customers, thereby maintaining the financial health of the company.

Important skills for an Accounts Receivable specialist include strong numerical proficiency, detail-oriented nature, excellent organizational abilities, and strong communication skills. Familiarity with accounting software and proficiency in Microsoft Excel are also important. Certifications such as Certified Accounts Receivable Specialist (CARS) or Certified Credit and Collection Professional (CCCP) can enhance credibility and career prospects. Prior to becoming an Accounts Receivable specialist, individuals may have roles such as Accounting Clerk, Billing Coordinator, or Accounts Receivable Clerk to gain necessary experience and skills.
