About this skill

Processing supplier invoices and payments (payable) and customer invoicing and collections (receivable), and keeping both accounts reconciled.

For candidates

Say which side you handled (payables, receivables or both), the volume (invoices per month, number of suppliers or customers) and the system. Collections results, such as a lower number of overdue days, are strong evidence.

For employers

Name the accounting system and the volume. Ask candidates how they would chase an invoice that is 90 days overdue from a long-standing customer; it tests both process and tact.

How matching works

Matching is most reliable when both the profile and job listing use this same skill and any expected proficiency is set accurately.
