Accounts Receivable Specialist

We are seeking a detail-oriented, highly self-motivated Accounts Receivable Specialist to join our fast-paced Auto Auction operations team. In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring the precision, integrity, and timely execution of our daily cash inflows and clearing accounts. Because an auto auction environment involves a high volume of quick-turnaround transactions, the ideal candidate possesses sharp numerical focus and a clear understanding of core bookkeeping rules. Working independently, you will serve as a critical checkpoint in our daily financial workflow, ensuring our internal system activity mirrors our real-world banking statements.

Responsibilities

• Daily Cash Management: Securely process and record daily deposits, utilizing rigorous checks and balances to verify check and cash amounts.
• Clearing Account Reconciliation: Monitor and balance high-volume auction system clearing accounts; meticulously verify that internal auction ledger entries match actual outgoing bank statement transactions.
• Bank Reconciliations: Keep track of precise daily bank statements, staying ahead of balances and rolling daily activity.
• Transaction Recording: Input, classify, and record routine financial transactions and journal entries accurately within our accounting software.
• Operational Team Backup: Cross-train extensively in core Accounts Payable (AP) workflows to serve as the primary department backup, stepping in to handle AP tasks seamlessly when the primary AP specialist is on vacation.
• Discrepancy Identification: Review financial data to catch, trace, and quickly resolve any balancing anomalies or timing differences between bank statements and internal accounting software.

Qualifications

• Accounting Fundamentals: A solid baseline understanding of standard accounting principles. Candidates must thoroughly know what debits and credits are and how they impact financial records.
• Software Experience: Proven, hands-on proficiency using QuickBooks and Microsoft Excel for data entry, transaction tracking, and account management.
• Professional Drive: Highly self-motivated and comfortable working independently without constant, direct supervision on repetitive daily financial deadlines.
• Analytical Accuracy: Sharp attention to detail, strong problem-solving abilities, and an organized approach to processing complex transaction volumes.
• Flexibility: A collaborative mindset and a willingness to learn basic Accounts Payable routines to provide reliable team coverage when necessary.
• Prior experience in an automotive dealership, auction house, or high-volume cash-handling environment is a plus, but not required.
