The Opportunity The Rothenbury

Group is seeking an experienced Senior Accounts Receivable & Collections Specialist to oversee receivables and collection activity across a portfolio of Canadian businesses. This role combines full-cycle accounts receivable with direct responsibility for overdue account recovery. The person hired will manage customer billing, payment application, account reconciliation, collections follow-up, billing disputes, payment commitments, and cash-receipt forecasting across multiple companies and legal entities.

We are looking for someone who can independently assess why an account remains unpaid and determine the appropriate next step. You must be able to distinguish between billing errors, internal delays, legitimate disputes, temporary financial difficulty, and customers who are avoiding payment. This is not a junior billing, payment-posting, or routine reminder role.

It requires someone who can confidently manage difficult customer conversations, protect professional relationships, and remain accountable for collection results. Previous Experience Supporting Canadian Companies Is Required.

Recruitment Process

Applications are reviewed against the education, experience, technical knowledge, and communication requirements of the position. Candidates selected for screening will receive an email within one to two business days of applying with a link to complete a pre-recorded video interview. The interview will evaluate your Canadian-company experience, full-cycle AR knowledge, collections background, account-reconciliation ability, customer communication, judgment, systems proficiency, and readiness to independently manage overdue accounts.

Candidates who meet the required standard may be invited to continue to a live interview.
