Credit Controller

We're working with a well-established Coventry business looking to add a Credit Controller to their finance team.

This is a solid, hands-on role for someone who enjoys taking ownership of a ledger, building relationships with customers and keeping cash collection moving in the right direction. You'll be working closely with the Financial Controller, with responsibility across sales ledger maintenance, credit control and query resolution.

What You'll Be Doing

Managing and maintaining the sales ledger, ensuring records are accurate and up to date
Opening new customer accounts in line with internal processes
Setting, reviewing and maintaining customer credit limits
Posting customer receipts, recharge invoices and rebate credit notes
Calculating customer prompt payment rebates
Sending monthly statements and chasing overdue balances by phone, email and letter
Supporting with customer invoice queries and helping resolve issues quickly
Maintaining the stop list and escalating unpaid debts where required
Assisting the Financial Controller and Finance Director with ad hoc finance tasks

What You'll Bring

Previous experience in credit control, sales ledger or a similar finance role
A good understanding of basic financial accounting
Strong Excel skills and a confident approach to systems
Good attention to detail and the ability to work accurately
A confident, personable approach when dealing with customers and internal teams
The ability to take responsibility for your work and manage your own ledger
VAT knowledge would be beneficial

What You'll Get in Return

A stable role within an established business
Exposure across both credit control and wider sales ledger duties
The chance to work closely with senior finance stakeholders
A varied role where you can take genuine ownership of the ledger
Supportive team environment with plenty of day-to-day interaction across the business

This would suit someone who likes a traditional credit control role, but still wants enough variety to stay engaged across the wider finance function.
