About the Role:
As a Credit Controller, you will be responsible for managing and reconciling the company's sales ledger, ensuring timely collection of outstanding invoices, and maintaining a healthy cash flow.

• Investigate and resolve inbound queries from clients regarding payment issues in a professional and timely manner
• Work closely with internal teams, including Customer Service and Finance, to ensure seamless credit control processes and quick resolution of issues
• Use advanced Excel functions (VLOOKUPs, pivot tables) to track payments, generate reports, and provide accurate insights into the financial status of accounts
• Provide reports and updates on aged debt and cash flow status
• Maintain accurate records of all customer interactions and payment details

Skills and Experience:

• Proven experience in a Credit Control or similar role, with a focus on ledger reconciliation and cash flow management
• Strong Excel skills (VLOOKUPs, pivot tables, and data manipulation)
• Exceptional relationship-building skills, with the ability to maintain a positive, professional rapport with clients
• Strong communication skills, both verbal and written
• A proactive approach to resolving issues and meeting deadlines
