What you’ll do at work

The Billing and Administrator apprentice will be responsible for raising sales invoices in a timely and accurate manner to our worldwide client base and ensuring quick resolution of any invoicing related issues. Ideally you will have proven billing experience with excellent communication skills.

As you develop your skill set, along with preparation of the batches, more demanding tasks will be passed on to you. From dealing with customer queries to liaising internally and partnering with the Sales team and the wider Finance team. There will be plenty of opportunity for the right person to get involved in further finance-related tasks as you learn to manage your workload and become increasingly efficient. You will get exposure to customers from all over the world, dealing with VAT, US sales tax and other queries from customers.

Main Duties and Responsibilities:

Liaising with the sales team and other internal stakeholders.
Resolving queries and disputes in a timely and professional manner.
Reconciling sales invoices to product sales lists.
