• Support implementation of pricing or plan changes within billing systems.

Accounts Payable

• Process vendor invoices and ensure timely, accurate payments.
• Maintain approval workflows and payment controls.
• Keep vendor records current and properly documented.
• Support cash flow planning through disciplined payables management.

Controls & Process Improvement

• Maintain internal controls related to billing, cash flow, and revenue tracking.
• Identify risks related to receivables, collections, or billing errors.
• Improve accounting workflows as transaction volume increases.
• Escalate trends or issues that could impact cash flow or reporting accuracy.

Performance Expectations

• Financial records are consistently accurate, reconciled, and well-documented.
• Month-end close processes are completed efficiently and on schedule.
• Accounts receivable balances remain current with minimal aging.
• Cash is applied correctly with limited exceptions or follow-up required.
• Billing activity reflects approved pricing and services without recurring errors.
• Accounting issues are identified early and resolved proactively.

Qualifications

Required

• Minimum of 3 years of accounting or bookkeeping experience.
• Strong hands-on experience with accounts receivable, cash application, and accounts payable.
