Job Summary
As a Factoring Account Consultant, you will consult with motor carriers to help them secure the money needed to grow their business. During each call, you will ask questions to learn about their current business situation, evaluate their goals and determine whether Factoring could improve their cash flow. Different from a loan, factoring is a form of financing in which we buy the carrier's payable invoices and pay them for their work before their customers cut them to check. We then buy the invoice and collect on its full value.
