• Previous experience in corporate, commercial, professional services, manufacturing, distribution, logistics, construction, or another B2B billing environment is preferred
• Understanding of basic accounting principles and the relationship between billing, accounts receivable, and the general ledger
• Experience researching invoice discrepancies and resolving billing issues
• Comfortable working with a high volume of invoices and detailed financial information
• Strong Microsoft Excel skills, including sorting, filtering, formulas, and working with large spreadsheets
• Experience working within an ERP or accounting system such as SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage, or QuickBooks is a plus
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy
• Excellent organizational and time-management skills
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• Associate's or bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related area is preferred but not required with relevant experience

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate is someone who is detail-oriented, organized, and comfortable working in a fast-paced accounting environment. You'll be successful in this position if you enjoy digging into discrepancies, keeping billing records accurate, and making sure invoices are completed correctly the first time.

We're especially interested in candidates with B2B or corporate billing experience who understand that billing is more than simply generating invoices. You should be comfortable researching supporting documentation, communicating with internal departments, and helping ensure accurate financial records.
