I am delighted to be partnering with a leading business based on the outskirts of Ipswich seeking to recruit a Credit Controller in a key role reporting to the Finance Manager.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Liaising with external stakeholders to ensure all jobs are paid within terms - building a strong rapport with the client base is key
- Evaluating and applying for credit limits with our credit insurers, ensuring that we are always within their limit with current spend and forecasted work
- Work with our Commercial and Operations teams to manage exposure of credit
- Keeping diaries and notes of all customer communication in relation to debt chasing
- Resolving queries both internally and externally around payments and outstanding invoices
- Improve and implement debt collection processes when there are any overdue invoices or payments, and initiate legal proceedings if necessary
- Preparing statement and reports on high-risk situations and notify the Finance Manager as appropriate
- Preparing statements, client status reports and other relevant information as required
- Closely working with the rest of the finance team who will be allocating the cash on our ledgers, raising the invoices, and recording the cash receipts on the cash flow ahead of them coming in.
- General administration tasks required for credit control functions and recording actions
The successful candidate will demonstrate the ability to establish and maintain good client relationships, both internally and externally at all levels and will possess a calm, confident manner to handle potentially uncomfortable conversations. You will also be able to reconcile complex accounts with excellent attention to detail.
