A well-established and growing business is seeking an experienced Credit Controller to join their finance team on a permanent basis. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys taking ownership of the full credit control function and is looking for a role with genuine responsibility and autonomy.
Reporting into the finance team, you will be responsible for managing the end-to-end credit control process across two company ledgers, maintaining strong customer relationships and ensuring timely collection of outstanding debts. The business operates a healthy and well-maintained ledger, making this an ideal role for a proactive credit professional who values building relationships rather than constantly firefighting overdue debt.
Your new role
- Managing the full credit control function for two company ledgers
- Monitoring and maintaining approximately 150 customer accounts
- Chasing outstanding payments via phone, email and written correspondence
- Building strong working relationships with customers to ensure prompt payment
- Allocating incoming cash and reconciling customer accounts
- Resolving invoice and payment queries in a timely manner
- Producing aged debt reports and monitoring debtor performance
- Reviewing customer credit limits and assessing risk where required
- Working closely with internal departments to resolve account issues
- Maintaining accurate records and ensuring all customer information is up to date
- Supporting month-end processes and reporting requirements
