Description

Are you a seasoned Accounts Receivable Assistant who thrives on building strong relationships and taking ownership of the numbers? This is a role where your experience won't just be appreciated - it will make a real difference.

We're looking for someone who enjoys the challenge of keeping a ledger in great shape and isn't afraid to pick up the phone when things need resolving. You'll take full ownership of the accounts receivable ledger, making sure payments are on track and any issues are addressed quickly and professionally.

Your day-to-day will involve partnering with clients to resolve outstanding invoices and building trust that keeps relationships strong. You'll also work closely with the sales team to iron out any billing quirks, helping the whole process run smoothly from sale to payment.

You'll be responsible for:

• Managing the AR ledger and chasing overdue debt with confidence and clarity

• Running credit checks and making sound, commercially-aware decisions

• Producing clear aged debt reports and sharing insights with management

• Supporting month-end close with accurate data and timely updates

• Identifying ways to make processes sharper, simpler, and more effective

We want someone who sees the bigger picture - who understands that credit control is about more than numbers; it's about people, process, and partnership.

In return, you'll join a team that values your input, supports your growth, and trusts you to get on with what you do best. If you're someone who enjoys autonomy, clarity, and the chance to make a role your own - this could be just the right move.
