Hire a Billing Executive (UK) — get paid for the work you've already done

Hire a Billing Executive in the UK

Stop Losing Weeks Between Finished Work and a Sent Invoice.

Every week WIP sits unbilled is cash that's already earned but not in your account. We provide the dedicated Billing Executive UK accounting firms, law practices and agencies hire to chase down billing narratives, turn time and disbursements into accurate invoices, and get them out the door — without a partner ever having to remember to "do the billing" again.

NDA signed before we see a single client file. You'll be judging real work, not a pitch.

Getting started

From first message to your billing cycle running itself

No lengthy onboarding — most firms are seeing invoices go out within a week.

1

NDA & billing scoping

We sign a full NDA, then walk through your current billing software, invoice volume and where WIP is getting stuck.

2

10-hour free trial

Your assigned specialist works your real WIP backlog inside your existing tools — no card, no commitment.

3

Pick your monthly hours

If it's a fit, choose 40, 80 or 160 hours a month — reviewed and adjustable every cycle.

4

Billing runs on schedule

WIP review, narrative chasing and invoicing happen every cycle without a partner having to remember to "do the billing."

The billing problem, honestly

What unbilled WIP is actually costing you

None of this is a training problem. It's a bandwidth problem — and it compounds every month it's left alone.

BEFORE
WIP sits for weeks waiting on a partner to "get to it"

Invoices go out whenever someone finally finds time — often a full billing cycle behind the work itself.

AFTER
WIP is reviewed and chased on a fixed schedule

Billing narratives are requested, followed up, and turned into a sent invoice within days of month-end.

BEFORE
Recurring and retainer invoices get missed or duplicated

No one owns the recurring billing calendar, so renewals slip or the same client gets billed twice.

AFTER
A maintained billing calendar, checked every cycle

Recurring and subscription billing runs on schedule, with a second check before anything goes out.

BEFORE
Billing narratives are vague, and clients query every invoice

Time entries get copy-pasted onto an invoice with no context, so clients push back and payment stalls.

AFTER
Clear, client-ready narratives drafted from the work itself

Invoices read like a professional summary of value delivered — fewer queries, faster payment.

Still comparing options?

Skip the guesswork — ask us which tier fits your volume.

Tell us roughly how many invoices you raise a month and we'll tell you straight whether 40, 80 or 160 hours is right.

Hours, not headcount

Hire as much of a Billing Executive's time as you need — not a full-time salary

We typically charge £8–£15 per hour depending on scope. Scale us up or down as your billing volume changes — no notice period, no redundancy cost.

40 hours / month
Part-time cover
Best if: you raise under ~30 invoices a month, or just need the current WIP backlog cleared
  • WIP review and narrative chasing
  • Monthly billing run support
  • Billing query handling, so it stops landing on partners
  • Recurring billing calendar tracking
  • Direct WhatsApp / email access to your specialist
  • Hours reviewed monthly — step up anytime
Enough to keep the billing cycle moving without paying for a full role.
160 hours / month
Full-time equivalent
Best if: you're seeing 100+ invoices a month, or want billing fully off your plate
  • Everything in Dedicated billing support
  • Direct client communication under your brand
  • Realisation-rate and write-off reporting
  • Billing runs checked before your FC sees them
  • Multi-currency invoicing where needed
  • Senior escalation & error resolution
Effectively a full-time billing hire — minus the salary, NI, pension and recruiting time.
From firms we've worked with

Don't take our word for it — here's what they noticed first

★★★★★

"We had months of WIP just sitting there because no one owned billing. Within a fortnight it was current, and it's stayed current since."

NW
Nadia Whitfield
Managing Partner, Whitfield & Associates
★★★★★

"Clients stopped querying every invoice once the narratives actually explained the work. Payment turnaround improved almost immediately."

MC
Marcus Chen
Director, Chen Legal Services
★★★★★

"Recurring billing used to be a spreadsheet someone half-remembered to check. Now it just happens, on schedule, every month."

LF
Louise Fairbanks
Operations Lead, Fairbanks Creative Agency
★★★★★

"Having someone chase our partners for billing sign-off, rather than us chasing them ourselves, was the actual unlock."

RG
Robert Gaines
Practice Manager, Gaines & Partners
★★★★★

"We started with 40 hours to clear a backlog and kept it going — the WIP just never piled up again."

HK
Helena Kowalski
Finance Director, Kowalski Consulting
★★★★★

"It genuinely feels like we added a billing team member, not an outsourced vendor."

Before you get in touch

Common questions about hiring billing support

A Billing Executive works the outgoing side — turning time, WIP and disbursements into an accurate client invoice. Bookkeeping covers the full ledger, and Accounts Payable covers what you owe suppliers. All three can sit side by side without overlap.
Yes — chasing partners for billing instructions, reviewing time entries against agreed fees, and getting WIP converted into a sent invoice is the core of the role, whether you're a law firm, accounting practice or consultancy.
Yes. We work inside whatever billing and practice management system you already use — Karbon, Senta, CCH iFirm, IRIS, Xero Practice Manager, Clio, WorkflowMax and others — nothing new for your team to learn.
Typically £8–£15 per hour depending on scope, billed monthly against actual hours used — a fraction of a UK-based full-time billing hire once salary, NI and overheads are included.
Yes — setting up and maintaining recurring billing schedules, retainer invoicing, and subscription renewals is a standard part of the role, alongside one-off client invoices.
Chasing sign-off is part of the job. We follow up on outstanding billing narratives on a set schedule so invoices don't sit waiting on someone's desk — and flag anything stuck for too long to whoever you nominate.
No fixed term. You start with a free trial, move to a monthly hourly arrangement if it's a fit, and can pause, scale or stop with no notice period or redundancy cost.
Yes — hours are reviewed monthly against your actual invoice volume and billing cycle, so you're never locked into a tier that no longer fits.
Both. We draft clear, client-ready billing narratives from the time entries and notes provided, and handle the invoice generation, formatting and sending end to end.
Yes — raising credit notes, correcting miscoded time or disbursements, and liaising on billing queries a client raises are all part of day-to-day billing support.
A full NDA is signed before any file access begins. We're ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant, and work only within your chosen software — nothing is copied elsewhere.
