Finance Operations Associate
“Come as you are”
Everyone is welcome here. Diversity & Inclusion are at our core. Far above any technical competence, we value respect, openness, and trusted collaboration. We do not tolerate intolerance.
Your Opportunity
We are looking for an Administrative Finance Associate who will take full ownership of our billing and accounts receivable processes at team.blue. In this role, you operate at the intersection of finance, operations, and customer contact. You ensure financial accuracy, follow up on payments, and support both internal and external stakeholders on a daily basis. You play a key role in identifying and resolving discrepancies in automated processes and act as a bridge between finance, operations, and systems. This is a hands-on role that requires strong content knowledge, attention to detail, clear communication, and the ability to maintain overview.
Main Responsibilities
You are responsible for the daily operation of billing and financial follow-up:
Manage and monitor accounts receivable
Take ownership of late-payer management and escalations
Actively follow up on outstanding balances and payment arrangements
Maintain contact with an external debt collection agency and support ongoing cases
Handle customer tickets related to invoicing, payments, and outstanding amounts
Process payments, corrections, and credit notes
Identify, analyze, and resolve mismatches between billing, payments, and provisioning
Resolve or coordinate corrections for errors in automated billing processes
Investigate discrepancies between systems and reports
Record, document, and report structural issues within the billing and automation landscape
What your day looks like
You start your day noticing that a webshop is at risk of going offline. The customer’s balance has been overdue for a while, and they are not responding to emails. Instead of escalating immediately, you pick up the phone and proactively contact the customer, discuss the situation, and work toward a solution to avoid service interruption. You document the agreements and monitor the follow-up.
Next, you review incoming payments and outstanding items. A payment doesn’t fully match the invoice. You dive into the details, trace the cause to a billing or provisioning discrepancy, and initiate the correct adjustments. You then respond to customer tickets about invoices, payments, and balances. You provide clarity right away and ensure the administration remains accurate.
Later, you coordinate with operations and technical colleagues regarding a mismatch between active services and billing. You analyze where things are going wrong, document the issue, and ensure it is included in future automation improvements.
Meanwhile, you keep oversight of the files handled by the external debt collection agency and ensure statuses and next steps are clear. At the end of the day, you support the international finance team with questions about supplier invoices and payments. You check discrepancies, provide context, and help them move forward. You end the day with a clear overview, control of the numbers, and the satisfaction of having solved problems before they became real issues
