Receivable Accountant

Role Overview

This role is the financial nerve centre for receivables across three distinct business lines—contracting, metal fabrication, and real estate. Day to day, you will drive cash flow by issuing accurate invoices, chasing overdue payments through multiple channels, and reconciling customer accounts to keep the company’s liquidity healthy. Your persistence and professionalism directly impact the company’s ability to fund operations and grow, while your calm, firm approach ensures customer relationships remain intact during collections.

Key Responsibilities

• Generate and dispatch invoices for projects in contracting, metal fabrication, and real estate, ensuring every charge is accurate and timely.
• Post and reconcile all incoming payments—cash, bank transfers, and cheques—and verify they match the correct customer accounts.
• Send monthly or periodic statements of account to customers, highlighting any overdue amounts and transaction histories.
• Follow up daily on overdue invoices using phone calls, emails, and messaging apps, and when necessary, visit customer offices to negotiate payment schedules in person.
• Monitor customer credit limits, payment terms, and aging balances to flag risks before they become serious.
• Prepare weekly and monthly aging reports and collection status updates for management, highlighting key issues and resolution progress.
• Investigate and resolve invoice discrepancies, payment delays, and customer queries by liaising with sales, project, operations, and finance teams.
• Process credit notes, refunds, adjustments, and receipt allocations, and maintain a clean audit trail for every transaction.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or a related field.
• 3–5 years of hands-on experience in accounts receivable, credit control, or general accounting.
• Prior exposure to contracting, construction, metal fabrication, engineering, or real estate industries is a strong plus.
• Solid understanding of receivables workflows, collections processes, customer account reconciliation, and basic accounting principles.
• Proven ability to handle cash, bank transfers, and cheque payments with accuracy and control.
• Advanced skills in MS Excel and familiarity with ERP/accounting software such as Odoo, SAP, Oracle, or Tally.
• Strong analytical mindset with high attention to detail and a commitment to data accuracy.
• Excellent negotiation and communication skills—both written and verbal—with the confidence to handle difficult collection conversations professionally.
• Willingness to travel locally to customer offices for follow-ups and collection meetings when needed.
• Highly organised, able to juggle multiple accounts and deadlines while working independently.
