Role Overview


This role is responsible for managing and optimizing cash flow across multiple markets. The individual will oversee key financial operations including Accounts Receivable (A/R), Accounts Payable (A/P), and cash flow reporting. The primary goal is to maintain financial discipline, ensure timely collections and payments, and support overall business liquidity and profitability.

Key Responsibilities



Accounts Receivable (Core Focus)



Track all A/R daily across U.S., Canada, and other markets. Flag overdue invoices immediately and communicate with sales + customers. Block further sales orders for customers with overdue balances until payment is initiated. Send weekly A/R aging reports to management with collection status updates. Maintain strong relationships with distributors (Nabis, HPI, Canadian partners) to ensure timely remittance.

Accounts Payable



Monitor vendor payment terms and schedule payments to optimize cash flow. Ensure priority is given to strategic suppliers while protecting liquidity. Reconcile AP weekly to avoid missed deadlines or double payments.

Cash Flow & Reporting



Prepare weekly cash flow updates (collections, upcoming payables, net position). Work with Finance/CEO to forecast 30-60 day cash availability. Highlight risks early (large overdue accounts, unexpected vendor bills).

Experience & Qualifications



3-5 years of experience in finance, accounting, or cash flow management, preferably in a multi-market environment. Strong understanding of A/R and A/P processes and their impact on working capital. Proven track record of reducing overdue receivables and improving vendor relationships. Proficiency in financial reporting tools and ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite, QuickBooks, SAP). Excellent communication skills to liaise with internal teams and external partners. Ability to work independently and manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.

Success Metrics (First 4 Months)



Overdue A/R reduced by 50%+. No new sales orders released without payment initiation on overdue accounts. Weekly reporting discipline -- accurate A/R & A/P updates to management every Monday. Improved vendor relationships by keeping AP clean and terms respected.
