Three steps

Hire an Accounts receivable specialist in 3 steps

From your first brief to an Accounts receivable specialist working in QuickBooks Online and Xero, you stay with one recruiter from scope through start.

Scope the Accounts receivable specialist role

Tell us the work to own, from accounts receivable invoicing to collections, plus the systems, coverage hours, and outcomes that matter. We turn that into a focused search brief.

Review vetted Accounts receivable specialist candidates

We screen candidates for accounts receivable invoicing, collections, and practical fluency in QuickBooks Online and Xero. You review a shortlist with relevant context.

Hire and onboard your Accounts receivable specialist

Choose your candidate and hiring model. We coordinate the handoff into your tools, operating process, and first-week priorities.

What changes for your team

Best for finance teams that need invoices, collections, and aging follow-up owned consistently.

Faster collections and better cash flow

Past-due accounts get followed up on the schedule you set, instead of chased whenever someone notices the aging report.

Fewer balances aging out unresolved

Every invoice gets tracked from sent to paid, so nothing quietly ages past the point of realistic collection.

Cleaner reconciliation

Payments get applied and reconciled against open invoices continuously, instead of caught up in a rush before month-end.

Lower cost than an in-house AR hire

One dedicated specialist costs less than the salary, benefits and payroll taxes a full-time in-house hire adds up to.

More predictable weekly cash position

You get aging and DSO reports on a set schedule, so cash flow stops being something you find out about after the fact.

Why teams choose HireHawk for this role

Cash flow you can predict

DSO and collections progress reported weekly, ahead of the month-end close.

Vetted before you meet them

5-Stage Vetting with AI-assisted screening. Fewer than 1% of applicants are presented to clients.

Bilingual where it matters

Bilingual English and Spanish talent from Latin America, strongest in medical and legal.

Two ways to hire

Fully managed global talent from $12 an hour, or US direct hire from 12.5% of first-year salary. Compare the two on our [staffing solutions page](/solutions/).

Anthony Director of Operations

"When our workflow broke down she built a tracking system to stop it happening again, without being asked."

Mikayel Revenue Cycle Manager

One partner, wherever your next hire lives.

The right model depends on the seat, not the company. Some roles need someone in the building; the rest do not, and cost far less remotely.

We work with companies backed by the world’s best investors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about hiring for this role

How aggressive is the collections approach?

Whatever your policy actually says, instead of some generic collections script. We work within the terms and tone you set on the discovery call, so your customers hear a voice that matches how your business already talks to them, and we escalate to you before anything goes beyond what you approved.

Can they work in our accounting software?

Yes, and we screen against your specific accounting stack rather than AR experience in general. Name the system on the discovery call, whether that's QuickBooks Online, Xero, NetSuite or Sage Intacct, and we match you with someone who has actually posted and reconciled payments in it before.

How do you track progress?

You get aging reports, DSO and collections progress delivered on the schedule you actually want, weekly by default unless you ask for something different. That means you always know exactly where your cash is sitting, instead of finding out only when the month-end numbers come in short.

Is AR outsourcing the same as accounts receivable outsourcing services?

Yes, same work under two common names in the market. HireHawk staffs it as one dedicated specialist working your invoices and your collections policy specifically, instead of a shared processing queue that treats your receivables the same as everyone else's, with no real ownership of your accounts.

How fast can a specialist start?

You'll see vetted candidates within 10 business days of your discovery call, so you're not waiting weeks to start interviewing. Once you've made your pick, onboarding takes 21 days, whether the hire joins your payroll directly or comes on as a fully managed global hire through HireHawk.

Do they handle disputes and short payments?

Yes. Investigating and resolving disputes is already part of the role, so short payments do not just sit unresolved on your books indefinitely. Anything unusual gets escalated straight to you with the context already gathered, so you are making a decision instead of starting the investigation from scratch.
