Accounts Receivable Clerk Cover Letter Example

Last year $186,000 came back from overdue accounts because I called the 20 largest every week and agreed payment dates in writing. That routine is what I want to run for your customers as Accounts Receivable Clerk at Hocking Hills Distribution.

At Olentangy Bend Wholesale I manage about 600 customer accounts and send around 250 invoices a week from the order system. Payments are posted and matched to invoices within one working day, backed by a daily bank reconciliation, and reminders go out at fixed points after each due date so few balances drift past 60 days. I came to receivables from an accounts assistant post at Olentangy Print Works, where I entered about 90 invoices a day with a 99% accuracy rate in checks and took over the role after covering it for two months of leave.

Hocking Hills' switch to emailed invoices and online payment is the change I most want to be part of. A new payment route tends to leave unmatched cash in its first months, and posting within a day is how that stays small. I also resolve invoice disputes within five working days with sales and the warehouse, and I report on aging each month with the ten accounts most at risk named, which matters on a ledger of 900 store owners who each expect a call from someone who knows their account.

A sample aging report, with customer names taken out, will reach you before we meet. One thing I want to ask you then: how many of your stores still pay by check?
