A Billing Specialist owns the invoice-to-cash cycle: generating invoices, applying payments, chasing overdue accounts, and resolving billing disputes. They work in close coordination with sales, customer success, and accounting, and they're the ones who keep DSO down and revenue clean. The role is heavy on accuracy, follow-through, and the people skills to push for payment without burning the relationship.
Billing specialists are core to AR-heavy businesses. Expect an average U.S. salary of $4,000 per month compared with an average Latin American salary of $2,000 per month, creating potential savings of up to 50%. LatAm produces detail-oriented billing professionals with experience supporting U.S. SaaS, services, and healthcare companies remotely.
Yes, billing is one of the cleanest remote roles. South contracts the billing specialist locally, runs payroll and compliance, and bills you monthly. They join your billing system, CRM, and Slack day one. Time-zone alignment means same-day responses to customer billing questions and aligned cadence with your AR aging review.
Strong attention to detail, Excel comfort, and a customer-friendly tone in collections email and phone work. Look for someone who can walk through how they reduced DSO at a prior company. The signal is process discipline (clean documentation, timely follow-up, organized aging) plus the soft skills to handle a customer who's three invoices late.
QuickBooks, NetSuite, or Sage Intacct as the GL. Stripe Billing, Chargebee, or Recurly for subscription. Bill.com or Tipalti for AP-side coordination. Excel and Google Sheets at fluent level. CRMs like Salesforce or HubSpot for billing-account context. Familiarity with collection tools like YayPay, Versapay, or HighRadius is a plus.
An AP/AR Specialist covers both sides: paying vendors (AP) and chasing customer payments (AR). A Billing Specialist focuses tightly on the AR side: invoice creation, payment application, and collections. Smaller companies often combine the roles. Once your AR volume justifies it (roughly $5M+ in monthly invoices), split into a dedicated billing specialist.
South vets LatAm billing specialists through structured interviews, work-sample tests on aging and dispute resolution, and reference checks. You see a shortlist in seven to ten days, run your own interviews, and onboard inside two to three weeks. South handles the contract, monthly payments, and a replacement guarantee.

The region has the perfect mix of everything you want in remote employees: English skills, shared time zones, hard-working, and depth of talent. They are already accustomed to working remotely for top US startups and Fortune 500 companies.
Absolutely! The US and Latin America have basically the same time zones. No Latin American city is more than two hours ahead of EST.
Every hire is sourced based on your exact needs. They will arrive ready to support your business right away. They can do basically any tasks done remotely, but we recommend starting them as support so your team has more bandwidth for high-value strategic tasks.
All types of roles - customer service, executive assistant, sales, accounting, email marketing, lead generation, content writers, operations, social media marketing, and more!
You can pay directly through us (most popular) or we can connect you with one of our payroll partners.
You don't have to deal with any American labor laws / taxes when hiring full-time remote contractors. They aren't US-based, so no visas or sponsorships to deal with either.
We recommend market pay which varies for each role. See our salary guide and success stories for some ideas.
Then, we have two different models:
Staffing (most popular) - We charge a small monthly fee for each employee's monthly salary to make the process hassle-free. The fee covers sourcing, recruiting, admin, payroll, compliance, ongoing support, and a free replacement if necessary at any point. There are no cancellation fees or minimum commitments. You only pay if you make a hire.
Headhunting - A one-time simple fee once we've found the perfect candidate. This comes with a 120-day replacement guarantee.
For both options, you only pay something if we find you someone great that you want to hire.
Yes, we only recruit for full-time and we strongly recommend full-time hiring if you can. Stability (full-time & long-term) is highly sought after abroad. The top caliber candidates are only looking for full-time work.
You're also going to spend time training and getting them up to speed on your processes. It would be a waste to do that over and over again with new people all the time.
We recommend training new hires on one thing at a time.
For example, once they get up to speed on lead generation, you can add the next role writing blog posts or whatever you'd like. You can definitely overlap roles until you have enough work for multiple people.
The cost of living is much less in Latin American countries. Many of our employees are able to own homes, raise families, provide for their parents, and have in-home help of their own with their salaries.
If you aren't happy with your hire in the first 120 days, we will work with you to conduct a second round of search for the same role for free.
Just email us at Hello@HireInSouth.com and we will get back to you with an answer as soon as possible.
