YOUR ROLE
The Accounts Receivable Manager strategically oversees and manages the delivery of Accounts Receivable services through its offshore Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) partner and their team.
The primary focus is on ensuring the seamless and efficient execution of AR processes, including the accurate maintenance of debtor accounts; collections of customer, related party and intercompany payments; and bad debt recovery and minimisation.
The role is pivotal in optimising financial operations, monitoring cash flow, mitigating credit risks, and implementing process enhancements within the context of the BPO model. This position is crucial in upholding the financial health and success of CEVA Logistics ANZ through effective management of outsourced AR services.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
Specifically, you will:
- Maintain the debtor's sub-ledger, cash application, and billing process in a timely and accurate manner.
- Conduct timely credit checks on new and existing customers. Where appropriate, conduct debtor analysis in respect of long and/or overdue debts. Keep an accurate and up-to-date 'Stop Credit' register.
- Develop, implement, and monitor reporting processes that provide accurate and timely information regarding Aged Debtors Summary, Debtor days outstanding, and Cash Collected - actual versus budget.
- Provide ongoing coaching and training for offshore BPO collections officers to ensure standard performance measures are achieved.
- Authorise the raising and processing of credit notes, ensuring a justifiable approval and audit trail of credits.
- Perform relevant calculations and continually monitor provisions for doubtful debts.
- When legal action has been instigated to recover debts, regularly liaise with counsel to support the recovery process.
- Respond to all reporting requirements of the business, involving the collation of information, preparation, and submission of reports, as well as conducting debtor trend analysis as required.
- Ensure trading terms are set and adhered to in accordance with established contracts and trading terms.
- Supervise the collection of monies owed and receipting to the business in a timely and efficient manner. Where appropriate, develop systems and processes to improve debt collections.
- Professionally and regularly communicate with customers on a timely basis regarding outstanding debt matters and resolve associated issues to ensure monies are collected. Carry out credit risk assessments to identify potential bad debtors.

- Tertiary or vocational qualification in accounting, finance, business or related
- In-depth knowledge of accounting principles, financial reporting, and financial analysis
- Familiarity with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and other financial software for efficient management of AR processes
