Work you’ll do
In our FSC (Finance Service Centre) setup, we are looking for a Cash Application Senior Consultant to lead daily cash application operations, manage team performance, and ensure strong controls and accurate AR ledger outcomes. This role requires advanced understanding of end-to-end finance processes, policies, and controls, with accountability for service levels, quality assurance, escalations, and continuous improvement. The ideal candidate can translate performance data into action, develop team capability, and partner with stakeholders to reduce unapplied cash and improve cash posting timeliness and accuracy.
Key Responsibilities include:
- Team Leadership & Performance Management: Lead a team of cash application professionals; manage workload distribution, capacity planning, coaching, and performance feedback.
- Quality Assurance & Controls: Establish and run QA routines (posting accuracy, documentation quality, approvals, compliance to standard work); ensure audit readiness and control adherence.
- SLA & KPI Ownership: Own SLAs and KPIs (cash application timeliness, unapplied cash aging, touchless posting rate where applicable, accuracy/rework rates); analyze drivers and execute corrective actions.
- Escalation Management: Own complex escalations (high-dollar misapplications, recurring customer remittance gaps, bank/lockbox discrepancies, credit balance/root-cause issues) and ensure timely, well-documented resolution.
- Stakeholder Management & Reporting: Serve as primary operational contact for Collections, Billing, Disputes, Treasury/Banking partners (as applicable), and leadership; provide concise performance reporting and risk visibility.
- Process Improvement & Best Practices: Drive standardization and improvements (e.g., lockbox rule tuning, remittance capture processes, workflow automation, reason code governance) to reduce exceptions and improve throughput.
- Training & Development: Build and maintain onboarding and training materials; develop team skills in research, customer outreach, and reconciliation discipline.
- Operational Risk Management: Maintain a risk-and-issue view (system defects, upstream invoice drivers, master data gaps) and ensure proactive escalation and remediation.
