Escalate unresolved payment issues to the Controller and provide assistance with assigned accounts payable activities during month-end close.
Respond to billing and invoice inquiries from Sales and Sales Support and help clarify account-related questions in a timely manner.
Review customer credit application packages for completeness, obtain references as needed, route documentation through the approval process, and communicate outcomes as directed.
Prepare and distribute Materialman Notices based on sales notifications and provide backup support for credit card payment handling and lien release activities when coverage is needed.
