AR Specialist - Temporary Position - Rockford, IL

Job DetailsJob Location: Rockford IL Headquarters - Rockford, IL 61107Position Type: Full TimeSalary Range: $29.50 - $40.50 HourlyJob Shift: DayAccounts Receivable Specialist (Temporary Project Role)

 

Come help us clean it up, collect it, and build the process.

 

We’re looking for an experienced Accounts Receivable professional to step into a short-term project role at our headquarters in Rockford. This is a hands-on position focused on collections, payment processing, and helping bring structure to our AR workflow.

 

Right now, this work is getting done — but the process behind it hasn’t been fully built yet. That’s where you come in.

 

This role is ideal for someone who has spent several years managing receivables, understands how collections should run in a larger organization, and enjoys bringing order to messy or undefined processes. You’ll help us work through current receivables while also helping document and shape how this work should run going forward.

 

This is a temporary assignment expected to last about 3–4 months.

 

What you’ll be doing

 

You’ll work closely with our Corporate Finance team to manage incoming payments, strengthen collections efforts, and help bring consistency to how receivables are handled. Your work will include:

 



Managing collections activity across a large receivables portfolio


Receiving, reviewing, and depositing customer payments including checks, ACH, and wire transfers


Posting and applying payments within our accounting systems


Reconciling customer accounts and resolving payment discrepancies


Maintaining accurate AR aging reports


Following up directly with clients on outstanding balances


Working with internal teams to resolve billing issues or payment delays


Identifying delinquent accounts and escalating collection efforts when necessary


Helping document and improve collections processes and communication standards


Building repeatable procedures for AR workflows that can scale over time



 

You’ll primarily work in NetSuite and Carbon as part of this process.

 

What makes someone successful in this role

 

This role works best for someone who is comfortable stepping into an environment that needs structure and bringing clarity to it. You likely:



Have significant experience managing collections and accounts receivable


Have worked with larger AR portfolios, not just small volumes of accounts


Are confident following up with clients and navigating payment conversations


Can operate independently and keep work moving forward


Are naturally organized and process-oriented


Have experience helping define or improve AR workflows and documentation


Pay close attention to detail and maintain strong financial accuracy

Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:00am–5:00pm
