Welcoming questions

  1. Can you tell us about yourself and how you got into billing and accounts receivable work?
  2. What do you enjoy most about billing work, and what does a good billing day look like for you?

Role-specific / technical competencies

  1. Walk us through your invoicing process from receiving the billing data to sending the invoice.
  2. Which billing or ERP systems have you worked with, and what was your invoice volume?
  3. How do you use aging reports to prioritize collections follow-up?
  4. When would you issue a credit memo versus a corrected invoice, and what approvals do you seek?
  5. How do you reconcile accounts receivable during month-end close, and what discrepancies do you check for first?

Behavioural & culture fit

  1. Tell us about a time you had to chase a long-overdue payment from an important customer. How did you keep the relationship intact?
  2. Describe a billing error you made or caught. What did you change afterward to prevent it?
  3. How do you stay accurate when processing a high volume of invoices under deadline pressure?

Problem-solving / case

  1. A customer disputes an invoice, claiming they were charged for services they cancelled. How do you investigate and resolve it?
  2. You notice the same billing error keeps recurring for one product line. What do you do beyond fixing each invoice?
  3. Month-end close is tomorrow and your billing totals do not match the general ledger by a small amount. Walk us through how you find the difference.
