Position: Accounts Receivable Specialist
Reports To: Senior Accounting Analyst
Classification: Full-time, exempt
Salary: $75,000 Annual
Location: San Jose, CA (on-site)
Position Summary
The Accounts Receivable Specialist owns the integrity of every incoming dollar across all entities — not only donor giving, but subscription revenue through Stripe, point-of-sale revenue for merchandise and lounge sales through Square, e-commerce merchandise revenue through Shopify, and all music-industry receivables of the Red Worship entity. You reconcile each revenue stream to the general ledger — donor platform, merchant processors, bank, and AR ledger to GL — research and resolve discrepancies, track royalties and artist/management splits, and serve as the escalation point for complex payer, donor, and staff inquiries. You set and improve the procedures the Clerk follows, verify their output as a control checkpoint, and partner with the AR Systems Analyst and Accounting department on coding, fund mapping, and month-end close. This role demands sound judgment, multi-entity and multi-platform reconciliation skill, systems fluency, and the ability to own an outcome from exception to resolution.

Merchant, Subscription & E-Commerce Receivables
• Reconcile Stripe subscription revenue from recurring, subscription-based services to the general ledger; track billing cycles, failed payments, refunds, and processor fees.

• Record and reconcile sponsorship and partner donations, including Compassion International, to the correct entity, fund, and restriction.

Exception Handling & Escalation

• Research and resolve duplicate or missing donor records at the policy level; set the standards the Clerk applies.

• Manage petty cash end-to-end: disburse, invoice, reconcile, and replenish; reconcile event fees received for other entities.
• Reconcile and record RCM royalties; support internal bank transfers and serve as manual-check signer on request.
Controls, Verification & Process Ownership
• Serve as the verification checkpoint for the Clerk's batches and deposits, enforcing dual control and segregation of duties.
Month-End & Audit Support
• Deliver reconciled weekly batches, transaction reports, and category reports to Accounting on the close calendar.
• Provide digital audit-ready documentation and support external audit and giving-statement requests.
Required Qualifications
• Associate or Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
•3–5+ years in accounts receivable, contribution processing, or reconciliation, including multi-account or multi-entity work.
• Demonstrated reconciliation skill (sub-ledger to GL, bank reconciliation) and confident discrepancy research.
• Working knowledge of Pushpay (or similar donor platform), Church Community Builder, Salesforce and a cloud GL such as Sage Intacct.
• Intermediate spreadsheet skills (lookups, pivot tables); comfort with CSV files and larger data sets.
• Experience reconciling merchant or e-commerce platforms (such as Stripe, Square, or Shopify),including processor fees, payouts, refunds, and chargebacks.
• Able to build and maintain schedules that track multiple income streams and calculate splits or allocations accurately.
• Strong written and verbal communication; able to handle sensitive donor and customer situations with grace and discretion.
• Alignment with the mission and values of Redemption Church.
Preferred
• Prior nonprofit/church experience and familiarity with multi-entity fund accounting.
• Exposure to Sage Intacct reporting and to integrations between Pushpay, Salesforce, and the GL.
• Music-industry or royalty accounting experience — tracking royalty and publishing income, sync/mechanical/performance licensing, and artist/management split reporting.
• Familiarity with nonprofit revenue recognition for both contributions (ASC 958) and exchange/earned revenue (ASC 606), and PCI-DSS handling of cardholder and donor data.

• On-site office plus time in the secured count room/vault; prolonged periods at a workstation.
• Periodic handling of currency and deposits; occasional lifting up to 25 lbs.
• Some evenings/weekends during high-volume giving seasons and audit fieldwork.
