JOB SUMMARY

The Branch Administrator keeps the branch running and gets the branch’s money side right: bill on time, collect on time, and buy and pay right the first time. You create the first impression of Yardnique for customers and visitors, you own day-to-day billing, early collections and purchasing steps in Aspire, and you are the link between the branch office and the field.

You report to your Regional Administrator and have a Regional AR/AP Manager to turn to for anything tricky. Your branch dashboards show how you are doing.

HOW YOU KNOW YOU ARE WINNING

Your KPI dashboard is your scoreboard. It is how you know, every day, whether you are winning. Measures start with the first-30-day dashboard and more are added in days 31-90. Targets beyond those shown are set together with the people who own each measure, after it has run for 30 days.

• Goal: What winning looks like
• Your scoreboard (KPI):
• Bill on time
  • Maintenance billed by the 25th of each month for the next month.
  • Completed work orders billed within 48 hours.
  • Missed maintenance invoices (AR.9)
  • Invoice origination lag (AR.10)
  • Unbilled extras $ (AR.7)
  • Partial-billing coverage (AR.12)
• Collect on time
  • Every past-due balance under 45 days has an owner and a next step.
  • Aging mix (AR.4)
  • Billed DSO (AR.1)
  • Manual collection touches per week (AR.21)
  • Promise-kept rate (AR.22)
  • Top customers (AR.6)
• Buy and pay right
  • Purchases requested before buying, goods received as they arrive, and vendor invoices approved promptly.
  • PR receive-to-approve time (AP.4)
  • Partial-receive hang (AP.8)
  • Jobs closed with open purchases

  • What is in Aspire matches the work done and the money owed, right the first time.
  • Feeds every measure above
