Billing and Posting Clerks
Office and Administrative Support
The work centers on compiling and checking the numbers that go onto bills. Itemized invoices and statements are prepared for goods shipped or services provided, amounts due are recorded, and the supporting documents are kept with them. When figures do not match, the discrepancy is found and corrected; check details may also be verified and stop-payment notices posted. Some of the calculating and posting is done on billing, adding, or calculating machines. It suits people who like precise record-keeping, spotting errors in numerical data, and working through a steady flow of invoices.
