A basic understanding of accounting principles and familiarity with business invoicing processes are helpful before starting. This is a beginner course, but it assumes you can follow invoice details, payment terms, and receivables information.

The course focuses on accounting and billing work rather than a specific software platform. The main methods are applying billing policies in batch invoice processing and using aged-receivables analysis with DSO tracking to prioritize collections.

You will practice validating customer and invoice details, applying pricing, tax, and payment-term rules, reviewing invoice batches, analyzing receivables by aging category, and ranking accounts for collection follow-up. You will also work with DSO and related collection indicators so you can organize routine reminders, targeted outreach, and escalation decisions.

To access course materials, assignments, and earn a Certificate, you'll need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. Eligible learners may also have the option to start with a Free Trial. Some courses may also offer a Full Course, No Certificate option. This lets you access course materials, submit required assessments, and receive a final grade, but you won't be able to earn or purchase a Certificate.

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
