Billing & Revenue Manager

Cerity Partners is growing quickly, and our billing and revenue function is at the center of that momentum. We're looking for a Billing & Revenue Manager who thrives on building great teams and great processes, someone who can keep day-to-day billing running smoothly while helping shape how we scale through an active merger pipeline.

This is a rare opportunity to lead a talented team of eight, partner directly with senior leadership, and leave a lasting mark on a firm in the middle of significant growth. As the Billing & Revenue Manager, you'll oversee the day-to-day accuracy and timeliness of billing and revenue management while leading and developing a team of eight professionals.

As Cerity Partners continues to grow through significant merger activity, you'll play a hands-on role in conversions, change management, technology initiatives, and building the scalable processes our next chapter needs.

Primary Responsibilities

Oversee day-to-day billing and revenue management activities, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and strong internal controls. Lead the billing workstream for mergers, from pre-close due diligence through post-close integration, including evaluating incoming firms' billing practices, transition planning, and conversion to our billing platform.

Lead, coach, and develop a team of 8 professionals, owning performance management, staff development, and workload prioritization. Own complex billing issues, exceptions, and escalations, driving them to timely resolution. Serve as a trusted partner to advisors and client-facing colleagues, responding to billing and fee inquiries with clarity, responsiveness, and a strong client experience in mind.

Partner closely with Finance, Technology, business teams, and other stakeholders on initiatives and changes that impact billing and revenue. Lead the function through business and organizational change, assessing impacts, recommending solutions, and driving implementation as the firm grows and evolves.

Proactively identify opportunities to standardize, automate, and streamline processes, improving efficiency and building scalability. Establish and monitor key metrics, controls, and procedures that strengthen performance and reduce risk. Communicate clearly with stakeholders on initiatives, issues, and changes, maintaining strong working relationships across the organization.

Required Qualifications

7+ years of experience in billing, revenue management, or a related finance function, including 3+ years managing people. Experience in wealth management, investment management, or a similarly complex financial services environment. Hands-on experience with the Orion billing platform, including configuring fee schedules and generating quarterly bills.

A track record supporting mergers, conversions, system implementations, or other significant organizational changes. A proven ability to operate effectively in a dynamic, evolving environment — translating business change into practical solutions, processes, and execution plans. Strong leadership, analytical, problem-solving, and project management skills.

Experience partnering with Technology on system enhancements, testing, automation, and implementation. Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to work effectively across functions and levels of the organization, including advisors and client-facing colleagues. Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.

Preferred Qualifications

Familiarity with fee-billing concepts, including a range of fee structures (tiered, blended, flat, asset-based), billing methodologies (advance vs. arrears; average daily balance vs. period-end), household aggregation, and proration logic. Experience with custodial fee-file submission (e.g., Schwab, Fidelity) is preferred.

Strong understanding of internal controls and accounting concepts as they relate to revenue and receivables. Advanced Excel proficiency (e.g., XLOOKUP, SUMIF, pivot tables, large-data reconciliation). Experience with Addepar or similar portfolio management and billing platforms is a plus.
