Senior Accountant – Accounts Receivable

The Role

The Senior Accountant – Accounts Receivable is responsible for the Accounts Receivable and Order-to-Cash activities of DA-Desk and Marcura Platform Solutions, covering billing, collections, cash application, and revenue recognition and reporting. This role ensures accuracy, timely recovery of receivables, and clear visibility of customer outstanding balances for the business.

The position standardizes customer-level visibility of revenue, invoicing, and outstanding balances, and holds ownership of collections performance for an assigned customer portfolio, including ageing, DSO (Days Sales Outstanding), and overdue exposure. It requires a sound understanding of the business and its revenue drivers, the ability to manage large datasets, and present up-to-date insights. The role also involves control over pricing in revenue systems and effective partnering with Sales and Account Management on outstanding invoices, billing queries, and customer escalations.

Key Responsibilities

● Maintain up-to-date, detailed pricing data to support invoicing and revenue management.

● Apply control checks on invoicing data across all revenue streams.

● Participate in the end-to-end Accounts Receivable process, from invoice generation through to collection and cash application.

● Prepare, review, and issue customer invoices accurately and on schedule, ensuring supporting data, tariffs, and contractual terms are correctly applied before dispatch, and resolving discrepancies prior to release.

● Manage collections for an assigned customer portfolio: monitor ageing reports, follow up on overdue invoices through structured dunning, and escalate long-outstanding or high-risk accounts in line with the agreed escalation matrix.

● Issue statements of account and payment reminders, and record committed payment dates and collection notes to maintain a reliable receivables and cash-inflow forecast.

● Perform cash application on a daily basis, allocating incoming receipts to the correct customer invoices and matching remittance advices accurately.

● Interact with Sales and Account Management on outstanding invoices — sharing overdue positions, obtaining customer feedback, resolving billing queries and disputes, and jointly agreeing recovery actions on ageing accounts.

● Coordinate and assist in year-end finalisation and audits, providing AR schedules and supporting documentation.
