About Credit Controller Role
Are you an experienced Credit Controller, looking for your next challenge?
Here at Booker, we are looking for a Credit Controller to join our Finance Team based in Eccles, Manchester, on a fixed-term basis.
This role covers a high-value ledger comprising large groups/national companies, requiring a high-level focus from senior management. Working as part of a team of up to 5, each Credit Controller will have responsibility for their own accounts, though close collaboration is necessary when accounts overlap.
Flexibility is available with hybrid working (between our Eccles office and working from home).
Responsibilities
- Collect outstanding debt and ensure overdue balances are minimised.
- Reduce ledger value.
- Provide prompt query resolution for cash payments.
- Allocate cash payments professionally.
- Deliver effective and efficient service to both internal and external customers.
- Manage your own ledger and accounts, including chasing payments via phone/letter.
- Conduct query resolution, cash allocation, and proactive chasing.
- Prioritise workload while producing reports to time constraints.
- Meet critical financial deadlines across financial periods.
- Support other Credit Controllers as required.
