_In order to see that payments are not made in excess to vendors, or received less from customers, companies hire invoice control clerks. These clerical workers collaborate with the accounting department and perform invoice checking works. They usually look after the accounts payable and receivable part of the accounting.  Their main role is to compile supporting documents such as purchase orders, quotation and invoices from vendors and verify whether the amount billed is accurate, or as per agreed. This is an entry-level position and for those who want to make a career in accounting. You can apply for the job if you hold a high school diploma. However, to progress in this career, you have to obtain a degree in accounting. As of now, to enter in this profession, you need an invoice control clerk resume.

The invoice control clerk resume is written to let the employers know what skills and experience you have related to the job. They want to know whether you have experience in compiling documents and to review the accuracy of the data on the invoices. Further, they will also expect you to be able to examine the receipt of the materials by collecting information from the stocking and receiving department.

The job description of the invoice control clerk shows that you must have basic calculation skills, and should be able to detect even minor mistakes on the invoices. In addition, the resume should also show that you are capable of working with computer and doing data entry work. While performing the job, you will have to converse with vendors and customers through phones, email or letters. Therefore, you must write how good or efficient you are in communication.

All these skills are important to grab the job and should be neatly formatted in the resume.  Look at the sample resume given below and try to copy the style and format.
