Accounts Receivable / Accounts Payable Specialist (AR/AP) – Remote | QuickBooks, NetSuite, SAP

Position Type: Full-Time, Remote
Working Hours: U.S. Business Hours

About the Role

We’re hiring an AR/AP Specialist to own the day-to-day flow of money in and out of the business.

This is a high-impact, execution-driven role where accuracy, speed, and organization matter.

You will:

  • Process invoices and payments
  • Manage collections and vendor payments
  • Maintain clean, audit-ready financial records

If you’re detail-obsessed and comfortable handling high transaction volumes — this role is built for you.

What You’ll Own

Accounts Payable (AP)

  • Process 20–50 vendor invoices per week
  • Enter invoices into:
    • QuickBooks
    • NetSuite
    • Xero
    • SAP
  • Schedule payments (ACH, wire, checks)
  • Reconcile vendor statements and resolve discrepancies
  • Manage reimbursements and credit card reconciliations

Accounts Receivable (AR)

  • Generate and send 30–100 customer invoices weekly
  • Post payments (ACH, wire, credit card, checks)
  • Maintain AR aging reports and track overdue balances
  • Follow up on collections and negotiate payment timelines
  • Manage deferred/unearned revenue adjustments

Reconciliation & Reporting

  • Reconcile AR/AP subledgers to the general ledger
  • Match transactions with bank records
  • Prepare weekly reports:
    • Cash collections
    • Disbursements
    • Outstanding balances

Compliance & Controls

  • Maintain vendor/customer documentation (W-9s, contracts)
  • Ensure compliance with:
    • GAAP
    • IFRS
  • Keep audit-ready financial records at all times

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work with procurement on vendor setup
  • Partner with sales to resolve billing issues
  • Support accounting team during month-end close

What Makes You a Strong Fit

  • Highly detail-oriented (you catch errors others miss)
  • Comfortable handling high-volume transactions
  • Strong communicator with vendors and customers
  • Organized, structured, and process-driven
  • Able to balance speed + accuracy

Requirements (Must-Have)

  • 2+ years experience in:
    • Accounts Receivable
    • Accounts Payable
    • Bookkeeping
  • Experience with at least one:
    • QuickBooks / NetSuite / SAP / Xero
  • Intermediate Excel / Google Sheets:
    • VLOOKUP
    • Pivot Tables
  • Familiarity with invoicing, payments, and reconciliation workflows

Nice to Have

  • Multi-currency AR/AP experience
  • Experience with:
    • Bill.com
    • Tipalti
  • Experience in SaaS, real estate, or professional services
  • ERP migration or automation experience

What a Typical Day Looks Like

  • Process vendor invoices and customer payments
  • Send invoices and follow up on overdue balances
  • Reconcile transactions and resolve discrepancies
  • Coordinate with teams on billing and vendor issues
  • Update reports and maintain clean financial records

In short:
You ensure every dollar in and out is tracked, accurate, and on time.

Key Metrics (KPIs)

  • Invoice accuracy: <1% error rate
  • On-time AP payments (net 30/45/60)
  • AR collections within target DSO
  • Timely reconciliations for month-end close
  • 100% audit-ready documentation

Why This Role Stands Out

  • High ownership over financial operations
  • Clear processes and structured workflows
  • Opportunity to grow into:
    • Senior Accounting
    • Finance Operations
  • Exposure to modern accounting tools and systems

Interview Process

  • Initial Phone Screen
  • Recruiter Interview
  • Practical Task (reconciliation / AR aging scenario)
  • Client Interview
  • Offer & Background Verification

If you’re someone who thrives in structured, detail-heavy roles and takes pride in clean, accurate financials, this is a strong opportunity to step into a high-responsibility AR/AP role.

The story of Pavago begins with a common entrepreneurial frustration. Its founders, Parker Cox and Ahmed Raza Ali, were running their own businesses and, like many others, found themselves grappling with the high costs and often underwhelming results of their digital marketing efforts. Determined to find a more efficient path to growth, they turned their sights to the global talent market. This decision to look offshore proved to be a pivotal moment. Within just three months of making their first offshore hire, they witnessed a remarkable 40% reduction in their Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC). This initial success was just the beginning of a transformative journey.

Encouraged by these results, they continued to build their offshore team, and within six months, they had expanded to seven team members. This strategic move not only drove down their operational labor costs by 22% but also led to significant increases across all their critical Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). As they shared their success story with fellow business owners, they discovered a widespread need for what they had built. A waitlist of entrepreneurs quickly formed, all asking the same question: 'Can you help us scale our team the same way?' This overwhelming demand was the spark that ignited Pavago. The founders realized they had a key to unlock a competitive advantage for small and medium-sized businesses – democratizing access to incredible offshore talent. Today, Pavago stands as a comprehensive, all-in-one service partner for businesses looking to scale efficiently. They handle the entire process, from talent acquisition and onboarding to payroll management and compliance, allowing entrepreneurs to focus on growth while leveraging a global team of top-tier professionals.
