[Hiring] Check Reconciliation Specialist @Column Software

Role Description

Column is looking for a detail-oriented Check Reconciliation Specialist to join our Finance Operations team. This is an entry-level role, though experience in accounts receivable and payments support is a plus.

• Identify and apply refunds or credits for overpayments and incorrect check amounts
• Improve processes around incorrect check payments to reduce manual rework and prevent recurring errors

Qualifications

• Meticulous attention to detail: catches small discrepancies in payment amounts, dates, and invoice matches before they become bigger issues
• Organized and process-driven: maintains accurate records, works systematically through batches, and keeps reconciliation workflows tidy
• Clear communicator: writes plainly and professionally when coordinating with customers and the Support team on payment issues
• Continuous improver: has a bias toward process improvement, spotting recurring errors and fixing the root cause rather than just the symptom

Requirements

• Clear written communication skills for customer-facing coordination
• High attention to detail and strong organizational skills
