  • Investigate and resolve billing discrepancies, short-pays, and disputes in partnership with Sales, Ad Ops, and Client Services

  • Reconcile customer accounts and apply payments accurately in the accounting system

  • Partner cross-functionally with Sales and Account Management on client payment terms, credit holds, and escalations

  • Prepare regular collections status reports and aging summaries for Finance leadership

  • Recommend accounts for write-off or collections agency referral when appropriate, following BDG policy

  • Support month-end close activities related to AR, including bad debt reserve analysis

  • Identify process improvements to reduce DSO (Days Sales Outstanding) and improve collections efficiency

What You'll Bring

  • 2–5 years of experience in collections, accounts receivable, or credit and collections, ideally in media, advertising, or a similarly fast-paced industry

  • Strong communication and negotiation skills — comfortable having direct, professional conversations with clients about payment

  • Solid understanding of AR processes, aging methodology, and basic accounting principles

  • Experience with accounting/ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, or similar); NetSuite experience a plus

  • Proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets for tracking, reporting, and reconciliation

  • Highly organized with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage a high volume of accounts simultaneously
