Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) is the primary AR performance metric. Aging bucket distribution, current, 30, 60, 90-plus days, collection rate, and bad debt ratio are also important. A strong AR Specialist understands how their daily work connects to these numbers.

In smaller companies, yes. Combining AP and AR into one accounting clerk role is cost-effective below $5M revenue. As volume grows, the roles become distinct enough to justify separation. If either AP or AR is taking more than 20 hours per week, dedicated resources make sense.

An AR Specialist is an individual contributor who processes invoices, posts payments, and manages collections. An AR Manager oversees the AR function, manages the AR team, sets collection policy, and reports aging and DSO performance to finance leadership.

With Recruiting Connection, expect a shortlist in 1 to 2 weeks. The AR Specialist pool is larger than senior finance roles. Our finance operations network surfaces candidates quickly.
