Role: Full-Time | Permanent
Looking for a finance role where you can do more than just chase outstanding payments?
We're looking for a Credit Controller to join a growing and successful business where you'll play an important role across the finance function. This is a varied opportunity that combines credit control with purchase ledger responsibilities, giving you the chance to build strong relationships, take ownership of your workload and make a genuine impact on the day-to-day running of the business.
If you enjoy solving problems, building relationships and working collaboratively with customers, suppliers and colleagues, this could be exactly what you're looking for. As a Credit Controller, you'll be trusted to manage your own workload, improve processes where you see opportunities and become a valued member of a supportive finance team.
What you'll be doing
Credit Control
- Managing customer accounts and chasing outstanding payments by phone and email
- Monitoring aged debt and ensuring customers remain within agreed payment terms
- Building strong relationships with customers to resolve payment queries quickly and professionally
- Reviewing customer accounts, highlighting potential risks and escalating where appropriate
- Working closely with colleagues across the business to improve cash collection and reduce overdue debt
Purchase Ledger
- Processing high volumes of purchase invoices accurately and efficiently
- Matching, batching, coding and reconciling supplier invoices
- Resolving supplier queries and ensuring invoices are processed within agreed timescales
- Reconciling supplier statements and assisting with payment runs
- Supporting month-end activities and maintaining accurate financial records
