The Commercial Property and Casualty Agency Billing Specialist supports GuideStone Agency Services by performing general agency-specific accounting and bookkeeping tasks of increasing complexity with moderate supervision and some latitude for independent judgment. This role maintains accurate agency billing, invoice, remittance, and commission records; manages agency-billed account workflows; and works with GuideStone Finance and Accounting to reconcile commission payments, resolve discrepancies, and ensure money received or paid by the agency is documented accurately and handled timely. The role applies developing proficiency in agency accounting, Applied Epic, commission processing, and internal controls, while relying on more experienced peers for guidance on more complex work. We serve those that serve the Lord with the integrity of our hearts and the skillfulness of our hands. (Psalm 78:72)
