Billing, AR & Collections

This role owns the complete order-to-cash lifecycle for AI companies, managing invoicing, accounts receivable, collections, and increasingly complex usage-based billing models that scale with AI product consumption. Professionals in this function distinguish themselves through mastery of both operational execution and revenue accounting, often working at the intersection of billing systems, customer finance, and financial close procedures. They typically sit within Finance or Order-to-Cash teams alongside revenue accounting and cash application specialists, partnering closely with Sales, Customer Success, and RevOps to ensure billing accuracy, optimize cash conversion, and maintain controls as transaction volumes and deal complexity grow.
