Partner with cross‑functional teams (FinOps, Sales, RevOps) to resolve invoicing discrepancies, disputes and data integrity issues.
Prepare audit‑ready documentation and support internal/external audit requests for the AR area.
Contribute to process improvements and automation of controls/reconciliations; help define better ways of working for future growth.
