- Support month-end and quarter-end close, including billing cut-off, invoice completeness, cash application completion, account reconciliations and status reporting.

customer and invoice data and escalate inconsistencies to the appropriate owner.

- Approximately 1-2 years of experience in billing, accounts receivable, cash applications, order-to-cash operations or a similar finance operations role.
