Job description

About us

FLS Group is an international logistics and freight forwarding company with over 700 employees in 15 countries across Asia Pacific, Europe and the Americas. As we grow our Italian operations, we are looking for a sharp, people-oriented Billing & Credit Collection Executive to join our Milan Finance team. This person will own the full cycle from shipment to cash.

The role

You will make sure every shipment is invoiced accurately and on time, and that customers pay on time. You are the link between operations, sales and our customers on anything to do with billing and payments. Your goal is simple: keep receivables low and the overdue book clean at all times.

What you’ll do

• Issue accurate, timely invoices for air, ocean and road freight shipments, including accessorials, disbursements and re-billing of third-party costs
• Work with operations to close jobs promptly and make sure every revenue line is billed (no unbilled or leaked revenue)
• Own a customer portfolio for collections: reminders, phone follow-up, payment plans and escalation
• Manage the aged debtors report weekly and drive down DSO and overdue balances
• Resolve billing disputes and credit notes quickly with operations and sales
• Monitor customer credit limits, flag risk early and support new account credit checks
• Reconcile customer accounts and allocate incoming payments
• Prepare month-end AR reporting, bad debt provision inputs and collection forecasts
• Manage electronic invoicing via SDI (fatturazione elettronica) and ensure compliance with Italian billing rules

What we’re looking for

• 3+ years in billing, credit control or accounts receivable, ideally in freight forwarding, logistics or shipping
• CargoWise One experience is highly preferred (billing, job costing, AR modules)
• Good understanding of freight forwarding documents and charges (Incoterms, B/L, AWB, local charges, D&D)
• Fluent Italian and good business English, written and spoken. Our group works across many countries
• Strong Excel skills; familiarity with SDI e-invoicing
• Diploma or degree in economics, accounting or a related field

The personality we want

• Firm but friendly: you can chase a payment and keep the customer relationship strong
• Persistent and organised: you don’t let an overdue invoice slip
• Confident on the phone and comfortable with difficult conversations
• Detail-minded, with a "get it right first time" mindset on invoicing
• A team player who works well with operations and sales

What we offer

• Permanent full-time contract, CCNL Logistica, Trasporto Merci e Spedizione, Level 5, with progression to Level 4 after the probation period
• Gross annual salary (RAL) of €30,000–€38,000, depending on experience
• Meal vouchers (buoni pasto) and other welfare benefits
• An international environment with exposure to a global finance team and an ongoing finance transformation programme
