As the department lead, I am the go-to for accounting & billing setup and information, most importantly for the more complicated co-op programs and accounts. I successfully manage the creation and implementation of all new products and sales programs into our monthly billing feeds by coordinating several departments including Contracts, Finance, Sales, and Marketing. I manage our complex accounts and make sure their billing needs are met with highly customized Excel spreadsheets. I pride myself on providing accurate and necessary information to help our clients understand their invoices. I am responsible for ensuring the accuracy of client statements and invoices each month by doing a monthly billing analysis to proactively prevent discrepancies. When closing our books each month, I work closely with the company controller to review industries that saw unexpected fluctuations and analyze the data to determine the cause. Create monthly revenue analysis reports of specific industries to aid the directors and industry presidents in seeing positive or negative growth. Will pull data for features, products or industries as needed when requested.
