### **About the Role**

We’re hiring for our client, a growing U.S.-based company, seeking an Accounts Receivable / Accounts Payable Specialist (AR/AP) to own the day-to-day flow of money in and out of the business.

This is a high-impact, execution-driven accounting and finance operations role where accuracy, speed, organization, and follow-through are critical.

You will:

### **What Makes You a Strong Fit**
