I am planning to interview for an accounts receivable manager role. I am very skilled in supporting with accounts payable process and I have minimal experience in accounts receivable. What type of questions or tips should I know to make a lasting impression and better my chances of securing this role?

Use the same skill set you have in AP to impress the hiring person for AR. AP and AR are about staying on a steady schedule of cash flow out and cash flow in. Whatever tricks made you succeed in AP, flip those for AR.

Customer service skills are also very important. You catch more flies with honey, talk about how you like to build a relationship with clients to increase revenue turnaround. If this is a true manager role and you'll be managing others, I'd do some research into what your management style would be. Hope this helps!

Yes, this was so helpful! Thank you so much!

Sell them on adaptability and give examples of it. If you have strong experiences in adaptability on the payables side it will translate well to receivables as well

Understood. Thank you so much for sharing!

Are private companies easier to work at than public companies in accounting? We have such an accelerated close deadline at the publicly traded company I’m at now, I really hate the inflexible tight deadlines and analysis seems to drag on forever after that. We also close AP/AR very early in the month yet that doesn’t stop payments/receipts from happening so we’re constantly adjusting our accruals until the end of month. Do private companies start their close after the month actually ends?
