So how do you hire accounts receivable managers? What follows are some tips for finding top accounts receivable consultants on Upwork.
How to shortlist accounts receivable professionals
As you’re browsing available accounts receivable consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:
- Accounting software. From Excel spreadsheets to QuickBooks, you want an accounts receivable manager who understands the tools you use to manage your books.
- Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., writing earnings reports).
- Feedback Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular accounts receivable manager.
How to write an effective accounts receivable job post
With a clear picture of your ideal accounts receivable manager in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.
An effective accounts receivable job post should include:
- Scope of work: From invoicing clients to processing payments, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
- Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
- Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or accounting tools, mention this here.
- Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.
