About the Role
The Accounts Receivable Specialist manages the collection of past-due homeowner association assessments and fees for CPS-managed communities. You'll work directly with homeowners, community managers, boards, and association attorneys to resolve delinquent accounts in line with each community's governing documents, company policy, and applicable law.

- Analyze payment trends and recommend collection strategies to managers and boards
- Prepare accounts for attorney referral and coordinate with association attorneys on collections, judgments, liens, foreclosures, and bankruptcies; attend court hearings or mediations as needed
- Assist with onboarding new associations, including importing prior owner balances from previous management companies
- Maintain detailed, accurate records of communications, payment arrangements, and collection activity
- Reconcile daily payment receipts against bank deposits and partner with Accounting and Community Managers to resolve discrepancies
- Prepare reports on collection rates, uncollected balances, and bad debt for boards and leadership
- Manage submeter utility accounts: assign meters correctly, troubleshoot malfunctioning or non-communicating meters, communicate billing issues to homeowners, and maintain accurate reading/account data in the property management software
What We're Looking For
- High school diploma or equivalent required; Associate's degree in Accounting, Business, or a related field preferred
- 2–5 years of experience in collections, accounts receivable, or property management
- Experience with Vantaca or similar property management software a plus
- Working knowledge of collections, lien, foreclosure, and bankruptcy processes
- Strong negotiation, communication, and organizational skills
- Comfortable managing multiple priorities in a deadline-driven environment
