Sample interview questionsHow would you diagnose and resolve recurring billing discrepancies across several retail partners?I would first segment discrepancies by source system, partner, revenue stream, transaction type, and timing to identify patterns. I would reconcile source data, CPQ or billing-platform records, ERP postings, and contract terms, then document root causes and control gaps. Finally, I would prioritize remediation, establish ownership and SLAs, and create monitoring to prevent recurrence.

Describe how you would lead a billing-system enhancement from initial request through launch.

I would define the business problem, measurable success criteria, affected workflows, data requirements, controls, and exception scenarios with stakeholders. I would translate these into documented requirements, partner with Product and Engineering on solution design, and coordinate UAT using representative scenarios. After launch, I would monitor accuracy, adoption, manual-effort reduction, and unresolved defects against the original success criteria.

What controls are most important for invoicing, credits, and adjustments under a SOX-oriented environment?

Key controls include approval workflows, role-based access, segregation of duties, controlled master-data changes, documented support for credits and adjustments, reconciliation of billing to source transactions and the general ledger, and evidence of review. I would also ensure exceptions are tracked, timely resolved, and periodically analyzed for systemic issues.

How have you used SQL and Excel to improve billing operations?

I use SQL to extract and join transaction, customer, contract, invoice, and payment data for reconciliations and exception analysis. In Excel, I use pivot tables, lookups, validation checks, and repeatable templates to investigate variances and prepare close support. The goal is to turn recurring manual analysis into dependable reporting and automated controls.

How would you balance urgent month-end demands with longer-term automation initiatives?

I would protect the close process through clear operating calendars, documented ownership, escalation paths, and daily visibility into high-risk items. In parallel, I would maintain a prioritized automation backlog based on control risk, time savings, customer impact, and implementation effort. Recurring close pain points would be strong candidates for targeted automation once the immediate close is stabilized.

* Dashboards, reporting, and KPIs that track billing health are built in collaboration with Finance Systems, enabling continuous improvement and proactive identification of issues.
* Billing system enhancements, integrations, and automation opportunities are scoped and delivered in partnership with Product and Engineering, reducing manual workload and improving operational scalability.

### The secret ingredients we’re looking for

Must-have pantry staples (Minimum Qualifications)

* 5+ years of experience in Billing Operations, Order-to-Cash, or Accounts Receivable within technology, ecommerce, marketplace, or subscription/SaaS environments.
* 2+ years leading cross-functional billing or quote-to-cash projects as an individual contributor, from requirements through UAT and launch.
* Hands-on experience with Salesforce CPQ and at least one billing platform (e.g., Zuora, Chargebee, Stripe Billing) plus one ERP (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Oracle).
* Proficiency in Excel (pivot tables, lookups) and basic SQL for reconciliations and data analysis.
* Working knowledge of billing controls, SOX requirements, and revenue considerations (e.g., ASC 606) as they apply to invoicing, credits, and adjustments.

Optional garnishes (Preferred Qualifications)
