Account services is a department of employees at a company responsible for managing customer financial accounts and other customer records. These professionals typically work in an office environment, although some may work remotely. Most keep typical business hours, but this can vary. While some positions do not require formal education or training, many companies prefer candidates with customer service experience and provide training for these roles. Account services representatives are the first point of contact between a customer and a company, with duties that can vary. They are involved in maintaining customer accounts, taking payment information, helping customers resolve issues, and answering questions. Other tasks include compiling reports on customer satisfaction, handling changes in company policies, and utilizing skills in basic math, data entry, time management, and multitasking. Additionally, they may answer questions about coverage and premiums, give price quotes, and sell new products to customers.
