Job Description
We are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful of all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust, collaboration and belonging. Consistent with this approach, we hire the best qualified candidates for all positions.
The Client Finance Coordinator owns the engine that keeps client work moving. Embedded within the client finance team, this role serves as the operational bridge between Client Finance and Financial Shared Services functions, with full accountability for ensuring financial data is accurate, complete, and processed quickly to meet real‑time business demand. From project setup and contract data to billing and invoicing, the Coordinator drives transactions efficiently through internal and client systems with speed and discipline.
This is a hands‑on, high‑trust role for someone who thrives in a fast‑paced environment and takes pride in getting things right the first time. Success comes from deep expertise in client‑specific billing requirements, systems, and contracts—using that knowledge to remove friction, keep transactions moving, and support client service teams.
The role offers real independence once established and close connection to client‑facing teams, with clear visibility into how accurate, timely execution enables the business to operate at pace. Growth is defined by increased ownership, complexity, and mastery of the work—becoming the go‑to expert others rely on to move work forward quickly, consistently, and with confidence.

- Maintain detailed billing trackers, including invoice status, approvals, submission dates, and issues.

- Monitor AR, WIP, and open transactions; follow up to ensure timely movement and resolution.
- Support processing of expenses, vendor invoices, and intercompany charges to avoid delays in billing or project closure.
