An accounts receivable (AR) professional is an accounting expert or specialist responsible for managing a company’s incoming payments and ensuring that invoices are collected promptly.
The account receivable job functions include managing invoices and billings, tracking and collecting payments, maintaining customer relationships, resolving payment disputes, etc.
With AR systems undergoing automation and innovations, AR job duties are also evolving. While automation handles routine, repetitive tasks, AR professionals must focus on strategic oversight and process improvement.
