Summary

Description
Accounts receivable collectors handle the recovery of accounts receivable from credit transactions by the due date. Primarily through visits or phone contacts with clients, they confirm payment status, adjust payment terms, and sometimes negotiate payment plans. They also handle cash processing after collection, recording, and reporting to the accounting department. Communication and negotiation skills are required to reliably and efficiently recover receivables while maintaining trust with customers.

With the spread of digital payments, demand for in-person collections is declining, but a certain demand is expected to continue, mainly among small and medium-sized enterprises and elderly customers. Market value can be maintained by enhancing expertise in receivables management.
