Role Purpose
We're looking for a Cash Application Specialist to join our finance team, keeping customer receipts accurate, up to date, and properly allocated. You'll play a key role in cash allocation, bank reconciliation, and reducing unapplied cash — helping the wider team make confident, well-informed collection decisions.
About The Role
You'll post and allocate customer receipts daily, help reconcile bank and ledger balances, and keep unallocated cash to a minimum. It's a hands-on role for someone who's organised, numerate, and comfortable investigating discrepancies until they're resolved.
What You'll Do
Cash application
- Post customer bank receipts and retail cash/card receipts in NetSuite daily
- Allocate receipts accurately against customer accounts and open invoices
- Investigate partial payments, overpayments, duplicates and unidentified receipts
- Chase remittance advice from customers, working closely with Credit Control and Billing
- Keep unapplied cash and customer credits under regular review, prioritising the oldest and highest-value items
- Keep clear records of open issues and flag anything material to the Cash Application Manager
