Due to continued growth and success, this professional company is wishing to recruit an experienced Assistant Billings Officer to join their organisation.
This is a full time role working the hours of Monday to Friday from 9.30am until 5.30pm
Key Duties:
The primary responsibility of the role is to assist the Finance department and the wider organisation in all aspects of the Billing process.
This is a key role with a high profile within the company and will require the successful candidate to be confident in communicating with Partners and Staff at all levels. The candidate must also be able to demonstrate a record of attention to detail and a strong work ethic. Being able to work effectively in a team, building strong relationships, taking ownership of a task and showing initiative are key skills required.
The billing role will be varied requiring the candidate to be able to learn in detail the Star Billing system so that they can effectively support Staff with their queries as well as bill themselves. An understanding in technical terms involved in billing WIP (Work in Progress) is advantageous but most important is an eagerness to learn.
Ideally the candidate will have worked in a Finance/Accounting department before and would have been involved in invoicing and other aspects of the Finance function. The candidate should expect to pick up other accounting type activities to support other members of the department and so a wide background of experience is desirable.
The main responsibilities will include (but are not limited to):
* Become an expert on the Star Billing system
* Back office tasks to facilitate the above such as
o Client set-up and administration, client rates, posting disbursements and other charges
o Employee set-up and administration, staff rates, time-sheet maintenance
* Working with the Billing team to help bridge the gap between Billing and Credit control - from birth to grave of the invoice process (understanding how to raise invoices to allocating payment of invoices).
* Actively involved in the month end process
* Act as support to other members of the team - with regard to other important Finance functions such as Bank reconciliations and WIP transfers/allocations.
* Training and assisting new starters in the Star Billing process
* Building on the #FinanceCares initiative to increase Finance's profile and engage more with the firm through communications, training and media.
The type of person:
A financial or accounting background is desired . Having a good attitude, acute attention to detail, a willingness to try new things and take ownership of a task and a confidence to be a fully active member of the team is most important. As there will be a lot of contact at all levels of the company, the ability to demonstrate good communication skills are vital.
A good understanding of all the Microsoft suite of applications is important, especially Excel and Teams. Any additional knowledge of invoicing systems (not necessarily Star as training will be provided) and ledger systems such as Microsoft Navision is advantageous.
If you do not hear from a Consultant within 1 week of your application, then unfortunately, on this occasion, you have been unsuccessful
