Jobs in Piccotts End

Think Accountancy & Finance are working with a long-standing business based in Hemel Hempstead with a global customer base. We are looking for a Payments & Billing Assistant, someone who can become a trusted, long-term member of their finance team.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who has great attention to detail, enjoys understanding a full process from start to finish, taking ownership and making sure nothing gets missed.

You don't necessarily need to come from a traditional finance background either!

You might already be working within accounts, billing or sales ledger and be looking for a position where you can continue developing your finance experience. Equally, you could come from a strong administration, contracts or billing background, enjoy the work you do and simply be looking for a great local business where you can settle into a long-term role.

The position will sit under the team's Management Accountant, while also giving you the opportunity to work closely with the company's Financial Controller and Finance Director.

For someone at the beginning of their finance career, perhaps starting or considering AAT, there would be plenty of opportunity to learn from an experienced finance team and study support could be considered for the right person.

The Role

You'll take ownership of customer contracts from the point they enter the business, ensuring everything is accurately set up and billed throughout the life of the contract.

You'll be working with a range of different services and billing arrangements, meaning no two contracts are necessarily the same. It's a role where being organised, inquisitive and comfortable working with systems and data will be really important.

Your responsibilities will include:

Reviewing new customer contracts and understanding the associated billing requirements
Setting up new contracts and customer information within the ERP system
Raising invoices for a range of different services
Managing recurring, staged and ad-hoc billing
Work with the FD to maintain contract and renewal information
Processing annual renewals and contractual changes
Raising credit notes, recharges and miscellaneous invoices
Maintaining billing reports, databases and spreadsheets
Completing billing-related reconciliations
Working across multiple companies and international customers
Resolving billing queries and discrepancies
Supporting the finance team with audit information when requiredWhat are we looking for?

You could currently be working as a Billing Assistant, Finance Administrator, Accounts Assistant, Contracts Administrator, Revenue Administrator or even within a broader administrative role involving contracts, invoicing or customer accounts.

Ideally, you'll have some experience across areas such as:

Billing, invoicing, finance administration or contract administration
Working with systems, databases or CRM/ERP systems
Maintaining spreadsheets and working confidently with data
Understanding different billing arrangements or payment terms
Managing your own workload and taking ownership of processes
Resolving queries and spotting when something doesn't look quite rightExperience within recurring billing, renewals, reconciliations or multi-entity environments would be particularly useful, but isn't essential.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who enjoys systems, likes learning, has excellent attention to detail and takes pride in getting things right.

This could be a particularly good opportunity if you're:

Already in finance and looking for a role where you can continue building your experience and potentially start or continue AAT.

Working within billing, contracts or administration and would like to move into a finance environment where your existing experience will be valued.

Or simply looking for a good, stable local role where you can take ownership of your area, become part of the team and build a long-term career with the business.
