Tronconi Segarra & Associates Overview
We’re looking for a hands-on, systems-savvy Head of Billing & Financial Management to own TSA’s end-to-end billing and accounts receivable (A/R) operations. You will run a disciplined prebill-to-cash process, partner closely with Partners and Billing Managers, and use CCH Axcess Practice to drive accuracy, speed, and profitability in our billing cycle. You’ll also improve cash flow by tightening our DSO and AR aging, modernizing client payment options, and elevating visibility with actionable reporting across the firm. You’ll oversee a small team supporting you across the responsibilities below.
Responsibilities
Billing Operations & Client Invoicing: Own the monthly billing calendar—collect prebills, lead review meetings with engagement leaders, finalize, and post invoices on schedule. Use CCH Axcess tools to standardize and accelerate workflow.
Engagement setup & data integrity: Ensure accurate engagement setup (fee arrangements, rates, billing addresses, tax settings) and maintain clean client/billing data for reporting and profitability analysis in Axcess Practice.
Invoicing, payment reconciliation & reporting: Publish invoices and oversee payment reconciliation and reporting.
Responsibilities (continued)
WIP, Prebills & Profitability: Monitor WIP daily; surface billable items, scope creep, and budget variances; recommend adjustments with rationale; document all adjustments.
Realization & margin: Track realization and margin trends by client/engagement/partner/service line; advise on drivers and alternatives to support profitable growth.
Billing cadence & collections goals: Publish and monitor monthly billing, invoicing, and collection goals.
Collections & Cash Applications: Lead collections with a professional approach; segment accounts, set contact cadences, and resolve disputes quickly; reduce DSO and AR > 90 days with targeted tactics.
Accounts Payable & Expense Management: Manage paying, posting, and tracking firm invoices; approve and monitor expense reports aligned with budget.
Systems, Data & Process Improvement: Be the in-house CCH Axcess Practice expert; optimize configurations, security roles, dashboards; standardize firmwide billing SOPs; partner with Operations/IT on integrations; own Service Code maintenance and reporting clarity.
Stakeholder Management & Leadership: Partner with the CGO to advise on fee structures and billing strategies; communicate status, risks, and cash expectations; supervise a small billing/AR team; recruit and develop talent.
Qualifications
5+ years of billing/AR leadership in professional services (public accounting preferred).
Deep, hands-on expertise with CCH Axcess Practice (time & billing, WIP, prebills, invoices, adjustments, reporting).
Proven results improving DSO, AR aging, and billing cycle time.
Advanced Excel (pivot tables, lookups); strong data hygiene and comfort with payment tech.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; able to navigate partner-level conversations clearly and diplomatically.
Edge (preferred): Experience with CPA-firm pricing models (hourly, fixed-fee, value pricing) and client procurement/e-billing portals.
Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or related field (preferred).
Familiarity with Axcess training resources and release enhancements.
Success Measures
Billing Timeliness: percentage of engagements billed on schedule; prebill-to-posting cycle time.
Cash Flow: DSO and AR aging trends (e.g., % > 90 days) downward.
Profitability Hygiene: reduced write-offs; stronger realization/margin; clearer pricing alignment.
Data Integrity & Adoption: on-time time-entry compliance; standardized invoice templates and billing groups in Axcess.
The annual base salary range for this role is $65,000-$85,000. This range includes the anticipated low and high end of TSA’s salary range for this position. Actual compensation may vary based on experience, education, and/or skill level.
Company & Equal Opportunity Ascend is an accounting firm platform that supports and celebrates professional and personal fulfillment. Ascend is an equal opportunity employer; we hire and promote individuals solely based on qualifications for the position and business needs.
