@francisobi
Accounts receivable professional improving cash flow through NetSuite-driven collections and reconciliation.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Accounts Receivable Specialist focused on end-to-end AR management—cash application, collections, credit analysis, and account reconciliation—so businesses can reduce risk and keep revenue moving.
I’ve built measurable wins by monitoring accounts receivable aging reports and executing collections strategies that reduced past-due balances, accelerated collections, and improved cash flow through proactive customer outreach, dispute resolution, and escalation management.
In my recent roles, I’ve streamlined invoicing and payment processing using NetSuite and SAP Business Network, handling high-volume billing, researching billing discrepancies, and resolving disputes involving deductions and short payments while maintaining AR integrity.
I also strengthen operational reliability by collaborating with Sales and Operations to resolve finance-held orders, evaluating credit applications to recommend credit limits and payment terms, and ensuring compliance through resale certificate documentation and renewal monitoring.
