Pick a clean, professional template for a Billing Administrator. Use a reverse-chronological layout so your recent billing roles appear first and hiring managers see your payments experience quickly.
Keep your resume short and focused. Aim for one page if you have under 10 years of billing work, and use two pages only if you have long, relevant history of account reconciliations, AR collections, or ERP implementations.
Choose ATS-friendly fonts like Calibri, Arial, Georgia, or Garamond. Use 10–12pt for body text and 14–16pt for section headers so your sections stand out on screen and print.
Use clear section headings: Contact, Summary, Experience, Skills, Education, Certifications. Put technical tools like QuickBooks, Oracle NetSuite, or Lawson under Skills so keywords appear for ATS.
Keep white space and consistent spacing between sections. Use single spacing inside bullets and a blank line between sections to improve scannability.
Avoid fancy layouts with lots of columns, images, or unusual fonts. Those elements often break ATS parsing and distract reviewers from your billing achievements.
Focus bullets on measurable results. Show invoice volume, days sales outstanding reductions, or error-rate improvements using short action lines that start with verbs.
Common mistakes to avoid: long paragraphs, inconsistent dates, and mixed date formats. Don’t use headers or footers for key contact info because some ATS skip them.
Proofread numbers and currency symbols carefully. A single typo in an invoice amount can harm your credibility.
