Accounts Receivable / Accounts Payable Specialist (AR/AP) – Remote

QuickBooks | NetSuite | SAP | Xero | Bookkeeping

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

About the Role

We’re hiring for our client, a growing U.S.-based company, seeking an Accounts Receivable / Accounts Payable Specialist (AR/AP) to own the day-to-day flow of money in and out of the business.

This is a high-impact, execution-driven accounting and finance operations role where accuracy, speed, organization, and follow-through are critical.

You will:

  • Process invoices and payments
  • Manage collections and vendor payments
  • Maintain clean, audit-ready financial records
  • Support reconciliation and month-end accounting workflows

If you’re detail-oriented, highly organized, and comfortable handling high transaction volumes in fast-paced environments, this role could be a strong fit.

What You’ll Own

Accounts Payable (AP)

  • Process 20–50 vendor invoices weekly
  • Enter invoices into:
    • QuickBooks
    • NetSuite
    • Xero
    • SAP
  • Schedule payments via ACH, wire transfers, and checks
  • Reconcile vendor statements and resolve discrepancies
  • Manage employee reimbursements and credit card reconciliations

Accounts Receivable (AR)

  • Generate and send 30–100 customer invoices weekly
  • Post incoming payments:
    • ACH
    • Wire
    • Credit card
    • Checks
  • Maintain AR aging reports and track overdue balances
  • Follow up on collections and payment timelines
  • Manage deferred and unearned revenue adjustments

Reconciliation & Reporting

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

Compliance & Controls

  • Maintain vendor and customer documentation including W-9s and contracts
  • Ensure compliance with:
    • GAAP
    • IFRS
  • Maintain audit-ready financial records and documentation

Cross-Functional Collaboration

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

What Makes You a Strong Fit

  • You are highly detail-oriented and catch errors others miss
  • You are comfortable managing high-volume financial transactions
  • You communicate professionally with vendors and customers
  • You are organized, structured, and process-driven
  • You can balance speed and accuracy effectively
  • You take ownership of your work and follow through consistently

Requirements (Must-Have)

  • 2+ years of experience in:
    • Accounts Receivable
    • Accounts Payable
    • Bookkeeping
    • Accounting support
  • Experience with at least one:
    • QuickBooks
    • NetSuite
    • SAP
    • Xero
  • Intermediate Excel or Google Sheets skills:
    • VLOOKUP
    • Pivot Tables
  • Familiarity with:
    • Invoicing workflows
    • Payment processing
    • Reconciliations
    • AR/AP operations

Nice to Have

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 internal teams on billing and vendor issues
  • Update reports and maintain accurate financial records

In short: you ensure every dollar moving in and out of the business is tracked, accurate, and processed on time.

Key Metrics (KPIs)

  • Invoice accuracy with less than 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
  • Structured workflows and clear processes
  • Opportunity to grow into:
    • Senior Accounting
    • Finance Operations
  • Exposure to modern accounting systems and ERP tools

View company profile

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.
