AR Analyst - Collections & Cash Application

Role overview

CELSIUS is looking for an Accounts Receivable Analyst focused on collections and cash application to help lower overdue receivables, strengthen cash flow, and preserve positive relationships with customers in a large, fast-moving portfolio. The role combines collections, payment posting, and dispute handling, so the work will vary from day to day. Success in this position depends on posting cash accurately and on time, reducing delinquent balances, obtaining payment commitments, and resolving disputes quickly and professionally. You will communicate every day with contacts at major retail and distributor accounts, so clear written and verbal communication is a critical part of the job. The role also offers a pathway to take on broader responsibilities within the Accounts Receivable function and the wider Finance team.

• Assist with month-end close tasks, including AR sub-ledger reconciliation and cash receipt reporting.

Deductions and dispute resolution

• Review, validate, and resolve chargebacks and trade deductions together with Sales, Trade Finance, and Customer Service teams.
• File and monitor disputes in customer portals such as Walmart Retail Link, Amazon Vendor Central, and Target Partners Online to recover invalid deductions.
• Handle EDI-related discrepancies and work with IT and operations teams to address underlying process issues.

Cross-functional collaboration
