Credit Control Administrator

Not every job in finance needs to involve managing a team, transforming a department or being responsible for the financial future of an entire business.

Sometimes, a company just needs someone who’s organised, good with numbers and capable of keeping on top of things without needing to be chased themselves. Which is pretty much what this job is.

This business need a Credit Control Administrator to sit within an experienced finance team, where you’ll be helping to keep the sales ledger in order, payments coming in and the general credit control administration running as it should.

There’s a decent mix of credit control and general finance administration involved, including:

• Chasing outstanding invoices by telephone and email.
• Maintaining accurate customer accounts and updating payment records.
• Allocating cash and assisting with cash posting and reconciliations.
• Investigating invoice queries and helping resolve payment disputes.
• Processing credit notes and supporting invoice adjustments.
• Carrying out account reconciliations and identifying discrepancies.
• Managing invoices and payment information through customer portals.
• Liaising with internal teams and customers to resolve outstanding issues.
• Producing reports and keeping credit control records up to date.
• Supporting the wider finance team with general administration when required.

Nothing particularly groundbreaking, but it’s important work, and they need someone who takes pride in getting the details right.
