Job description

Are you an experienced Credit Controller looking for more than just chasing debt? Would you like to join a growing business where you'll gain exposure to wider accounting responsibilities and genuine career development?

We're recruiting on behalf of a successful, privately-owned business that has experienced significant growth both in the UK and internationally. This is an excellent opportunity to join a friendly, close-knit finance team where you'll play a key role in credit control while developing your broader finance skills.

The Role

This is a predominantly Credit Control position, with the opportunity to support across the wider finance function as your experience develops. You'll be working in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same, liaising with customers and internal teams to resolve queries, maintain cash flow and support the smooth running of the finance department.

Unlike many credit control roles, this position focuses on building relationships, resolving invoice queries and ensuring timely payments rather than dealing with difficult collections or significant aged debt.

Key Responsibilities

• Managing the end-to-end B2B credit control process.
• Chasing overdue invoices and resolving customer queries.
• Building strong relationships with customers and internal stakeholders.
• Uploading invoices to customer portals and EDI systems.
• Reconciling multi-currency bank accounts.
• Preparing daily cash reports.
• Supporting month-end processes and management accounts.
• Assisting with intercompany reconciliations.
• Providing cover across other areas of the finance function when required.
• Supporting continuous improvement of finance processes and systems.

About You

We're looking for someone who has genuine Credit Control experience and enjoys communicating with customers over the phone.

You’ll ideally have:

• 2+ years' experience within a finance or accounts environment.
• Previous B2B Credit Control experience.
• Confidence speaking with customers and resolving payment queries.
• Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail.
• Good Excel skills (Pivot Tables and VLOOKUPs would be advantageous).
• A positive, proactive attitude and a willingness to learn.
• Experience with bank reconciliations or wider accounting duties would be beneficial but isn't essential.

What's on Offer?

• Genuine career progression within a growing business.
• Exposure to a wide range of finance responsibilities beyond Credit Control.
• A supportive employer that invests in training and professional development.
• Friendly, collaborative finance team with excellent mentoring opportunities.
• Fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment where you can make a real impact.
