Master Data and Receivables Senior Specialist

ABOUT THE ROLE:

The Master Data and Receivables Senior Specialist is responsible for executing high-volume, standardized finance operations for the client, covering Finance Master Data Management (Business Partner setup), Accounts Receivable processing, and Accounts Payable enablement.

This role supports the finance function by ensuring accurate and timely execution of rule-based transactional activities in the Infor LN ERP system. The position offloads repetitive, detail-intensive work from onshore accounting leadership, reduces operational risk arising from manual data entry, and supports scalable growth as transaction volumes increase.

This is not a professional accounting role; it is a transactional finance operations role requiring strong discipline, attention to detail, and adherence to established procedures.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

A. Finance Master Data Management

• Create, maintain, and update customer and vendor master data in the ERP system.
• Set up and manage Business Partner records, including parent/child relationships and required system roles.
• Review and validate supporting documentation to ensure completeness and accuracy prior to setup.
• Coordinate workflow submissions and communicate completion to stakeholders.
• Note: Finance Master Data Management work supports both Receivables and Payables processing and is
• handled as upstream finance operations, not accounting judgment work.

B. Accounts Receivable Operations

• Execute transaction-level Accounts Receivable processing for designated programs (e.g., Costco).
• Ensure accurate recording of receivable entries using predefined rules, templates, and system controls.
• Verify entries against source logs and supporting documentation.
• Identify and escalate discrepancies, duplication, or incomplete information.

C. Accounts Payable Enablement

• Perform supplier and service provider master data setup to support Accounts Payable processing.
• Validate tax and banking documentation and submit records for workflow approval.
• Ensure correct configuration of payment-related system attributes based on documented requirements.

D. Quality, Controls, and Process Discipline

• Follow documented procedures and system instructions consistently.
• Participate in quality assurance checks and reviews.
• Maintain basic tracking of completed work and identified exceptions.
• Escalate non-standard scenarios promptly rather than making assumptions.

SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS:

Work Experience

• 4–6 years of experience in transactional finance operations, such as Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, or Finance Master Data Management.
• Experience in high-volume, rules-based processing environments (e.g., shared services or BPO settings) is strongly preferred.
• Prior experience working in ERP systems (Infor LN experience is an advantage; other ERP systems acceptable e.g. SAP, Oracle, NetSuite).

Educational Background

• Bachelor's Degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or a related field is preferred but not required. Relevant transactional finance experience and demonstrated system proficiency may be considered in lieu of a formal degree.

Technical & Process Skills

• Proven experience in high-volume transactional finance operations, including AR, AP, and/or finance master data management.
• Strong familiarity with ERP-based processing, including navigating multiple modules, roles, and workflows.
• High level of accuracy and discipline in manual data entry.
• Ability to follow detailed, step-by-step procedures and standardized operating instructions consistently.

Behavioral Competencies

• Exceptional attention to detail and commitment to data accuracy.
• High tolerance for repetitive, structured, and rules-based work.
• Strong sense of ownership and accountability for assigned transactions.
• Willingness to ask questions and escalate exceptions rather than make assumptions.
• Ability to understand why processes exist, not just how to execute them.

Success Measures

• High accuracy rate with minimal rework or corrections.
• Timely processing of transactions within agreed turnaround times.
• Clear and timely documentation and escalation of exceptions.
• Consistent adherence to documented procedures, controls, and quality standards, as validated through QA sampling and review
