We're recruiting an Accounts Receivable and Collections Specialist for a growing Canadian equipment rental company. This contract role is suited to someone who can get up to speed quickly, stay organized across a busy customer portfolio and handle payment conversations professionally.

• Review rental invoices, contracts and supporting records to help resolve billing questions.
• Coordinate with branch operations, sales and accounting to confirm charges, purchase orders and approved adjustments.
• Maintain clear notes on customer conversations, payment commitments and outstanding issues.
• Prepare account statements and provide updates on collections activity.
• Support other AR and administrative tasks as needed during the contract.

What you bring

• Previous experience in accounts receivable, collections, billing or a similar accounting role.
• Confidence speaking with customers about overdue payments while maintaining a constructive relationship.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to investigate discrepancies across invoices and account records.
• Experience using accounting software and Excel.
