• Invoicing Infrastructure: Prepare, review, and issue recurring and project-based client invoices using CCH Axcess and QuickBooks Online in accordance with strict firm guidelines.
• Payment Processing: Securely manage, match, and record incoming payments via ACH processing platforms (JP Morgan Chase), merchant credit card terminals (SwipeSimple), and traditional check deposits.
• Ledger Synchronization: Ensure precise daily application of payments across a multi-system layout to maintain completely accurate, audit-ready financial records.
• Discrepancy Auditing: Promptly investigate and resolve billing errors, declined corporate credit cards, or misapplied funds through close internal team coordination.

• Aged Debtor Management: Routinely audit AR aging reports to target, track, and resolve outstanding balances or stale client accounts.
• Assertive Outreach: Execute professional, confident, and highly persuasive phone calls and email campaigns to collect stale, overdue balances.

• Month-End Reconciliation: Balance all receivable channels, generate comprehensive collection metrics, and assist the core accounting team with the month-end close process.
