Job Summary

The Accounts Receivable (AR) – Data Entry Administrator role, presented by Robert Half, is a high-volume foundational position within a large, structured organization in Surrey, BC. This is designed as a “Career Launchpad” for an office professional looking to pivot into a formal accounting path. This role requires the “wit” to maintain 100% data integrity across hundreds of financial entries and the “grit” to thrive in a fast-paced, high-transaction environment where accuracy directly impacts the company’s cash flow.

Job Details

Recruiter: Robert Half.
Location: Surrey, BC (Fully On-Site).
Salary: $50,000 annually.
Status: Permanent, Full-Time.
Core Focus: High-volume financial data entry and AR support.

Key Responsibilities: The Revenue Cycle

You are the “Data Guardian” of the incoming revenue stream, ensuring that every payment is accounted for and matched correctly.

High-Volume Processing: Enter and process 200+ financial transactions daily. This requires speed without sacrificing accuracy.
Payment Application: Support the daily AR function by applying incoming payments to the correct customer accounts.
Record Integrity: Maintain meticulous documentation for the Finance team to ensure a clean audit trail.
Stakeholder Communication: Act as a professional liaison for customers and internal teams regarding payment inquiries or discrepancies.
Reporting Assistance: Support the wider accounting team with administrative tasks and month-end reporting preparation.

Candidate Profile & Qualifications

The “Transitioning Professional”: Ideal for someone with a background in office administration or general clerical work who wants to enter the accounting field.
Technical Wit: Strong alphanumeric data entry skills and a “number-oriented” mindset.
Operational Grit: The ability to stay focused and productive while managing repetitive, high-volume tasks.
Organizational Skills: A natural talent for keeping records structured and easily accessible.
Communication: Clear, professional verbal and written skills for customer interaction.

Technical Insights: The Accounts Receivable Process

In a large organization, the AR department is the engine of the “Order-to-Cash” (O2C) cycle.

The O2C Cycle: You will be operating in the latter half of this cycle—specifically the “Invoicing” and “Collections/Payment Application” phases.
Three-Way Matching: While primarily an AP concept, in AR you will often perform a “Two-Way Match,” ensuring the payment received matches the invoice issued before closing the transaction.
ERP Exposure: Working in a large organization usually means using an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system like SAP, Oracle, or Microsoft Dynamics to log these 200+ daily transactions.

Why this Surrey-Based Role?

Surrey is one of the fastest-growing business hubs in British Columbia, hosting major logistics, manufacturing, and corporate headquarters.

Professional Stability: As a permanent, full-time hire in a large organization, you gain job security and access to structured corporate benefits.
Career Pathing: This role is explicitly labeled as an “entry point.” Successful performance in high-volume AR often leads to roles like Junior Accountant or Credit Analyst.
Local Advantage: For residents of the Fraser Valley or Surrey, this fully on-site role offers a significant reduction in commute compared to downtown Vancouver roles.
