Are you an experienced Credit Controller looking for your next challenge within a busy and varied finance environment?

We’re looking for a Group Credit Controller to join a successful finance team, taking ownership of the credit control function while also getting involved in a broader range of finance activities. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys being hands-on, building strong customer relationships and seeing the direct impact of their work.

What will you be doing?

As Group Credit Controller, you’ll play a key role in maintaining a healthy cash flow and ensuring outstanding debts are managed efficiently. Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing the Group credit control function, including the timely collection of customer payments and aged debt.
• Making regular contact with customers regarding overdue accounts and resolving payment queries.
• Completing monthly Sales Ledger Control Account reconciliations.
• Preparing financial information, reports and ad-hoc analysis for the wider finance team.
• Ensuring full Sales Ledger reconciliations are completed accurately.
• Supporting the preparation of financial packs and management accounts for subsidiary companies.
• Completing intercompany reconciliations.
• Managing MOD claims, chasing payments and raising invoices via Exostar.
• Providing payroll validation and holiday cover when required.
• Supporting wider finance projects and initiatives as required.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for someone who can combine strong credit control experience with excellent attention to detail and a confident, professional approach.

Ideally, you will have:

• Previous experience working in a Credit Control role within a medium-sized organisation.
• Strong experience of managing aged debt and working to collection deadlines.
• Excellent Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel.
• Experience using Sage Line 50 would be highly desirable.
• An understanding of foreign currencies and/or experience working with overseas operations would be advantageous.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• The confidence and professionalism to have sometimes challenging conversations with customers.
• A methodical and accurate approach, with exceptional attention to detail.
• The ability to work independently while also being a strong team player.

The person

You’ll be proactive, driven and motivated, with a genuine desire to achieve great results. You’ll be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, able to remain calm under pressure and confident in managing your own workload.

Most importantly, you’ll be someone who takes pride in their work, builds positive relationships and enjoys being part of a collaborative finance team.

Why consider this opportunity?

This is much more than a traditional credit control position. You’ll have the opportunity to take ownership of the Group credit control function while gaining exposure to management accounts, reconciliations, intercompany finance, payroll and wider financial projects.

If you’re an experienced Credit Controller looking for a role where you can broaden your finance experience and make a real contribution, we’d love to hear from you.
