The role
Reporting to the Finance Manager, you'll take full ownership of the sales ledger and credit control. This is a hands-on role — you'll be on the phone to national wholesalers, independent distributors and contractors, so confidence and professionalism with customers matter as much as accuracy on the ledger.
Day to day, you will:
- Record incoming payments and allocate them accurately against customer accounts, keeping balances correct and reconciled
- Monitor the aged debtors report and take ownership of following up overdue balances
- Contact customers by phone and email to chase outstanding payments professionally and promptly, building good working relationships with the people you're chasing — many of our customers are also long-standing trading partners
- Investigate and resolve discrepancies and queries on accounts receivable, liaising with customers and our internal sales team to resolve billing disputes and missing payments
- Raise and issue invoices and credit notes with the appropriate approvals
- Upload invoices to customer portals where required and monitor them through to payment
- Maintain the sales ledger so customer accounts are accurate, complete and up to date
- Support month-end processes and provide administrative support to the wider finance department as needed

About you
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You'll have previous experience in a sales ledger or credit control role, ideally in a similar B2B environment where customers trade on account. You're accurate with numbers, organised under pressure, and comfortable picking up the phone to chase a payment without souring the relationship. Good Excel skills and experience with accounting software are important; experience with customer invoicing portals is a plus.
Most of all, you take pride in a clean ledger and a healthy debtor book, and you're happy working as part of a small, busy team.
