Job description

Accounts Receivable Coordinator

Based in Shoreditch

Paying up to 35k DOE

Monday - Friday, 9:30am - 6pm

Office based

We're recruiting for a growing luxury fashion business that works with leading retailers and boutiques across the UK and overseas. Due to continued growth, they're looking for an Accounts Receivable Coordinator to join their finance team.

This is a great opportunity for someone with experience in accounts receivable or credit control who enjoys being hands-on, building relationships and getting to the bottom of queries.

The Role

Reporting into the Finance Manager, you'll take ownership of a portfolio of customer accounts, making sure payments are received on time and accounts are kept accurate and up to date.

A big part of the role involves communicating directly with customers, buyers and agents, so you'll need to be comfortable having conversations about outstanding invoices and payments while maintaining a positive and professional relationship.

You'll also work closely with teams across the wider business to resolve any issues that could be holding up payment, whether that's an invoice query, shipment issue or account discrepancy.

As the company works with customers internationally, you'll have regular exposure to accounts across different markets including Europe, the US, Middle East and Asia. It's a varied role within a fast-moving business, with plenty of opportunity to learn how the finance side of an international wholesale fashion operation works.

What you'll be doing

• Managing a portfolio of customer accounts and keeping on top of outstanding balances
• Reviewing aged debt and following up on overdue payments
• Allocating payments and carrying out regular account reconciliations
• Investigating account queries and working with internal teams to resolve them
• Liaising with customers, buyers and agents regarding invoices and payments
• Setting up new customer accounts and maintaining accurate account information
• Keeping finance systems and records up to date
• Assisting with month-end activities and reporting
• Supporting the wider credit control function
• Helping with general finance administration when required

What we're looking for

You'll ideally have at least 2 years of experience within accounts receivable, credit control or a similar finance role. More importantly, you'll be someone who takes ownership, pays attention to the detail and isn't afraid to pick up the phone and chase something through.

We're looking for someone who:

• Has previous experience in accounts receivable, credit control or finance
• Is organised and naturally detail-focused
• Enjoys investigating problems and finding practical solutions
• Is confident communicating with customers and internal teams
• Has good Excel skills and experience using an accounting system - Xero would be an advantage
• Can manage their workload in a busy, commercially focused environment
• Works well as part of a team but is also comfortable working independently
• Has an interest in fashion, luxury or wholesale

Why join?

You’ll be joining an international business where finance plays a key role in supporting its continued growth. The company offers a friendly and collaborative working environment, with the opportunity to work alongside people and customers from a wide range of backgrounds and markets.

Benefits include:

• Clothing allowance
• Length of service bonus scheme
• Supportive and collaborative team
• International working environment
• Opportunity to develop your experience within the luxury fashion industry
