The ideal candidate is comfortable having financial conversations, stays composed when handling objections, and takes pride in following through until an issue is fully resolved.

- Handle incoming client calls regarding billing questions and invoice disputes.
- Clearly explain charges, invoices, billing cycles, and account balances.
- Investigate account discrepancies and coordinate appropriate resolutions.
- Respond promptly to missed calls, messages, and client inquiries.

Payment Solutions
- Guide clients through customized payment plans and available payment options.
- Assist clients with setting up automatic payments.
- Explain and facilitate available third-party financing solutions.
- Help identify practical payment solutions while maintaining established policies and procedures.
Documentation & CRM Management
- Accurately document client calls, email s, payment commitments, disputes, and follow-up activities.
- Maintain complete and up-to-date account records within assigned CRM and billing systems.
- Track outstanding issues and follow-up requirements to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
- Maintain a complete record of client interactions and account resolutions.
What We’re Looking For
The ideal candidate will be organized, persistent, confident on the phone, and comfortable discussing financial matters with clients.
Qualifications include:
- Proven experience in collections, accounts receivable, legal billing, or a related financial role.
- Strong telephone presence and excellent verbal communication skills.
- Excellent active listening and conflict-resolution abilities.
- Ability to handle financial objections and difficult conversations professionally.
- Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.
- High technical aptitude and the ability to quickly learn new systems.
- Hands-on experience with legal billing software or CRM systems is highly preferred.
- Ability to independently manage repetitive, detail-oriented workflows.

You'll be expected to:
- Stay on top of assigned collection queues.
