POSITION SUMMARY
The City of Grandview is looking for a detail-driven, customer-focused Billing Collection Assistant to support our Finance team. This position sits at the intersection of public service and financial accuracy: you’ll handle payments, assist residents, and keep critical revenue processes running cleanly and efficiently.
This is a front-line finance position where accuracy, accountability, and judgment matter. If you’re early in your finance career—or pivoting into it—and want real exposure to revenue operations in a municipal environment, this is a strong entry point.
This role gives you something most part-time jobs don’t:
credible, resume-building finance experience with real accountability.
What You’ll Own
You’ll support core revenue functions that directly impact City operations:
- Process and reconcile tax and service payments with precision
- Serve as a point of contact for residents with billing inquiries—translating policy into clear, professional communication
- Maintain accurate financial records and transaction documentation
- Balance and audit daily cash activity (no discrepancies, no excuses)
- Support licensing and fee-based service billing across departments
- Identify inconsistencies and escalate issues before they become problems
Why This Role Is Different
You’ll gain:
- Exposure to public sector finance operations
- Experience handling real revenue streams—not theoretical models
- Direct interaction with stakeholders (which builds judgment fast)
- A foundation that translates into accounting, audit, or financial analysis paths
What You Bring
- 6–12 months experience in cash handling, billing, banking, AR/AP, or customer-facing financial roles
- Close attention to detail and personal accountability (you catch errors before they compound)
- Strong communication skills—clear, composed, and professional under pressure
- Comfort working with structured processes and financial systems
- An associate's degree or coursework in Accounting, Finance, or Business is a plus
Who You Are
- You don’t let numbers slide
- You prefer being trusted with responsibility over being micromanaged
- You handle difficult conversations without losing composure
- You’re looking for a stepping stone into finance—not just a job
Work Environment
- Professional office setting
- Structured workflows with defined accountability
- Occasional high-volume or high-pressure interactions with the public
Position Requirements
- Must be able to pass a criminal background check (including fingerprints)
- Must be current on all Personal Property and Income Taxes
- Must be able to prove legal registration for all owned vehicles (yourself and spouse if applicable)
- Must have a valid Missouri Driver’s License or I.D. and be a Missouri resident
Job Responsibilities
- Handle all Jackson County Personal Property Tax and Real Property Tax transactions
- Balance drawer at end of shift; perform daily close out of self and other clerks from the County Tax System
- All other duties as assigned
