What would someone who works in Accounts receivable do?

Answer 1

You'd process incoming payments against invoices that your company has issued.

You'd probably look for past-due invoices that your company has issued, and either contact the other company for payment, or forward these to the Collections Department for them to do so.

You might also prepare the incoming checks for deposit, or process accounting entries associated with incoming funds.

Answer 2

Prepare and Send invoices to people/companies that your company has done work for. Possibly follow up on invoices that are past due 60- 90 days. Not a really hard job to do. All companies have a little different job description.
