Accounting, Accounting & Finance, Accounts Receivable, Billing, Cash Application, Collections, Collections Operations, Credit & Collections, Financial Operations Hours: Full-Time, aligned with EST business hours The Opportunity Royal York Property Management is seeking an experienced receivables professional to oversee customer account accuracy, overdue balance recovery, payment follow-up, and collection reporting.

You understand the difference between a customer who has a legitimate dispute, a customer experiencing financial difficulty, and a customer who is avoiding payment.
