Join Our Team as an Accounts Receivable Lead (12–14 Month Maternity Leave Contract)

Are you a detail-driven accounting professional who thrives on leading teams and driving process excellence? Do you enjoy turning complex financial data into clear, actionable insights? If so, we’d love to connect with you!

We’re seeking an Accounts Receivable Lead for a 12–14 month maternity leave contract. In this key leadership role, you’ll report directly to the Controller and play an essential part in maintaining the financial health, accuracy, and efficiency of our Accounts Receivable operations.

This is a fantastic opportunity to step into a leadership role, make an immediate impact, and further develop your management experience in a collaborative environment.

What You’ll Do Leadership & Team Development
  • Hire, train, mentor, and evaluate Accounts Receivable team members
  • Motivate and support your team in achieving departmental goals
  • Foster a collaborative, accountable, and high-performing team culture
Operations & Process Oversight
  • Oversee daily, weekly, and monthly AR activities
  • Ensure customer payments are entered accurately and on time
  • Review AR reports to maintain financial accuracy and integrity
  • Lead the AR portion of the month-end close and reporting process
Problem-Solving & Relationship Management
  • Resolve invoice and payment-related inquiries efficiently and professionally
  • Manage collections, including reviewing credit memos and revised invoices
  • Build and maintain strong working relationships across departments and with external partners
Continuous Improvement
  • Develop, implement, improve, and enforce policies and department controls
  • Identify opportunities to enhance efficiency and accuracy
  • Maintain accurate and complete financial and employee records
What You Bring Education & Experience
  • Bachelor’s or Associate degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
  • 3–5 years of Accounts Receivable experience within a mid-size or larger organization
Skills & Strengths
  • Exceptional attention to detail
  • Excellent time management and organizational skills
  • Strong communication and interpersonal abilities
  • Proficiency in business systems and bookkeeping software
  • Analytical thinking with strong planning and problem-solving skills
  • A high level of integrity and commitment to ethical financial practices
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
  • Immediate leadership impact in a vital finance function
  • Exposure to strategic financial processes and reporting
  • Opportunity to strengthen your leadership profile
  • A defined-term contract (12–14 months) offering meaningful experience and growth
  • Working Conditions
    • Office-based role (Hybrid)
    • Prolonged periods of sitting and computer work

    This is more than a contract position, it’s an opportunity to lead, influence, and leave a lasting impact during a critical period. If you’re a motivated accounting professional who takes pride in accuracy, leadership, and continuous improvement, we want to hear from you.

    Bring your expertise. Lead with confidence. Make a difference.

    Apply today and help us continue delivering financial excellence.
