Job description

Billing Specialist Leicester £14.50-£15.50 per hour 12-month interim contract Hybrid Working

Looking for a billing role that gives you the flexibility to work from home most of the week? Macildowie is recruiting a Billing Specialist for a busy Leicester-based finance team, with just two days per week in the office and the potential for a permanent opportunity after the initial 12-month contract.

This is a varied, hands-on position covering high-volume invoicing, cash allocation and query resolution. You'll take ownership of your work, deal with customers and internal teams, and help ensure invoices are accurate and issued on time.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Raising customer invoices and credit notes, including recurring and fixed-fee charges.
• Checking billing information, purchase orders and supporting documents.
• Allocating cash receipts to customer accounts daily.
• Managing billing schedules and working to month-end deadlines.
• Investigating discrepancies, rejected invoices and outstanding queries.
• Working with customers and colleagues to resolve issues by phone and email.

To be considered, you must have:

• Strong experience in accounts receivable, billing or credit control.
• Strong Excel skills, including confidence with pivot tables and VLOOKUPs.
• Excellent organisation and attention to detail.
• The confidence to investigate discrepancies and communicate clearly with customers and internal teams.

Experience of complex billing or working across multiple entities would be an advantage.

The working hours are 8:30am-5:00pm, with a one-hour lunch. There is no on-site parking at the Leicester office, so drivers will need to arrange and pay for parking on the two office days.
