Independently diagnose billing situations and work toward one-touch resolution whenever possible

Clearly explain freight rate discrepancies and billing adjustments to internal stakeholders

What We're Looking For

Strong attention to detail and numerical accuracy

Experience with freight accruals and reconciliation

Understanding of sales orders, margins, commissions, costs, and selling prices

Experience working in a high-volume corporate or B2B billing environment

Who Will Succeed in This Role?
You'll be a strong fit if you're the type of person who sees that a carrier charged one amount while the order reflects another and immediately wants to figure out why.
You're comfortable digging into invoices, comparing freight rates, reviewing order details, contacting carriers, and coordinating with different teams until the numbers make sense.
You don't need someone to tell you every next step. You can prioritize your workload, investigate an issue independently, communicate what you find, and take ownership of getting it resolved.
Most importantly, you understand that accurate freight billing affects more than just an invoice—it impacts costs, margins, commissions, financial reporting, and the customer experience.
Ready for Your Next Opportunity?
If you have experience in Billing, Freight, Logistics, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, or Finance Operations and you're looking for a remote opportunity where you can develop specialized freight-billing expertise, we'd love to hear from you.
