About The Role
We are seeking a highly organised and proactive Credit Controller who is responsible for managing the Building Consultancy sales ledger and maximising cash collection across the business.
Working closely with Partners, Directors and fee earners, the role will proactively manage outstanding debt, resolve payment issues and develop positive working relationships with client finance teams to improve the speed and certainty of payment.
Whilst the primary focus is effective credit control, the role will also highlight recurring billing issues that contribute to payment delays and work with operational teams to help minimise them where practical.
What Matters Most In This Role
Work closely with Partners, Directors and fee earners by:
- Providing updates on significant outstanding debts
- Highlighting payment risks
- Assisting with collection strategies for key accounts
- Identifying recurring invoice issues that delay payment
- Liaising with Finance to resolve billing queries
The role is expected to support the business in improving cash collection, rather than owning the wider billing process.
Day to day, you'll:
- Manage the Building Consultancy sales ledger
- Monitor aged debt and prioritise collection activity
- Proactively pursue outstanding invoices through telephone, email and client engagement
- Resolve invoice and payment queries promptly
- Maintain accurate records of collection activity
- Escalate significant issues to Partners and Directors where appropriate
- Produce regular aged debt reports and commentary
- Support monthly cash collection targets
