Descripción del empleo

About the role

Alea's billing sits at the core of a B2B revenue-share model with real structural complexity — multiple revenue concepts, layered aggregation logic, and reconciliation across entities and systems. This role owns the receivables and payments cycle end to end, but doing it well is not a data-entry job: it means genuinely understanding that complexity, not just processing it.

We're looking for someone who can run the operational cycle reliably and, as they grow into the role, improve how it works — building validation into the process, spotting patterns in the numbers, and helping automate what's still manual today. You'll join a finance team focused on improving and automating how things are done, not just keeping them running.

This is a role with clear room to grow within the finance department for an ambitious, analytical person who wants to build, not just maintain.

Key Responsibilities

Receivables & collections

• Own the invoicing cycle: generate and issue accurate, complete invoices to customers on time.
• Monitor payment status, follow up on overdue accounts, and drive timely collections.
• Resolve billing discrepancies with customers, tracing them back to root cause rather than patching symptoms.

Payments & supplier invoices

• Review and verify supplier invoices against the underlying transactions and contractual terms.
• Investigate discrepancies between billed amounts and expected amounts, across systems and records.
• Help design and strengthen the validation process for incoming supplier invoices.

Accuracy & reconciliation

• Build a strong understanding of Alea's billing structure and revenue concepts to ensure accuracy across complex invoicing scenarios.
• Reconcile accounts regularly; explain variances rather than just flag them.
• Maintain clean, well-documented records of billing and transaction activity.

Process & improvement (grows with you)

• Identify manual, repetitive steps and propose ways to automate or streamline them.
• Contribute ideas to improve billing, reconciliation, and reporting workflows.
• Prepare clear reporting on billing, collections, and account status for management, surfacing issues and recommending fixes.

Requirements

Experience

• 2+ years in audit, accounting, or a finance/analyst role. A Big 4 or audit background is a strong plus — we value the rigor and work ethic that comes with it.
• Exposure to full-cycle accounting (invoicing, reconciliation, reporting).

Education

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics, or a related field.

Skills & mindset

• Genuinely analytical — comfortable digging into messy data, finding the root cause, and questioning numbers that don't add up.
• Strong Excel / Google Sheets. Any experience with scripting, SQL, or automation tools (or a real appetite to learn) is a clear plus.
• Exceptional attention to detail without losing sight of the bigger picture.
• Proactive: the kind of person who improves a process instead of just running it.
• Proficiency in accounting software (Holded is a plus).
• Strong written and verbal communication for working with internal and external stakeholders.

Language

• Fluent English (written and verbal). Additional languages are a plus.
