We're looking for an Accounts Receivable Clerk to join our Finance team on a 6-month contract. This isn't your typical invoice processing role.

• Manage and reconcile an assigned portfolio of customer accounts.
• Investigate payment discrepancies, customer deductions, shortages, pricing differences, returns, and claims.
• Review outstanding receivables and work proactively to resolve exception items.
• Submit documentation through customer portals to recover invalid deductions.
• Collaborate with Sales, Customer Service, Operations, Logistics, and Finance to investigate and resolve account issues.
• Process credits, adjustments, write-offs, and account corrections.
• Support month-end reconciliation activities.
• Maintain accurate customer account records and documentation.
• Identify opportunities to improve processes and increase efficiency.

What We're Looking For

• 1-3 years of Accounts Receivable, Accounting, Finance, or related experience.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent attention to detail and organizational abilities.
• Comfortable working with large volumes of data while maintaining accuracy.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build positive relationships with customers and internal stakeholders.
• Ability to prioritize multiple tasks and adapt in a fast-paced environment.
• Self-motivated with a proactive approach to problem solving.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel.
• Experience working with ERP systems (SAP is an asset).
• Experience using customer portals or web-based business systems is considered an asset.
• Postsecondary education in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or a related field is considered an asset.
• Manufacturing or high-volume transactional experience is considered an asset.

Why Join Ice River?

At Ice River Sustainable Solutions, you'll join a collaborative Finance team where your ideas are valued and your contributions make a real impact. We offer opportunities to learn, develop your skills, and grow your career within a fast-paced manufacturing environment focused on innovation and sustainability.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary of $50,000 based on experience
