Sales Ledger / Credit Control

Your new company
A well-known and highly respectable organisation based in Dereham, are looking to offer a permanent opportunity to an experienced Sales Ledger Clerk / Credit Control Assistant who is looking for flexible work.

Your new role
The key duties in this Accounts Assistant, sales ledger / credit control job will be raising sales invoices and ensuring any reminder letters/emails are sent at specific times as the invoices become due with follow-up telephone calls. You will also assist with posting cash receipts to the correct account, produce a debtors report and make the departments aware of any overdue accounts which will require you to contact the customer to collect the outstanding debt and resolve any issues.

You will also be part of the team who process all purchase invoices by first checking for a PO number, raising the purchase invoices on to the finance system called Integra, reconciling the invoice to the GRN (goods receipt) and then preparing the payment. You will also deal with supplier queries, take any urgent payments and generally deal with the end-to-end processing of the purchase ledger as they have payment runs of circa £500,000 - £1million. The finance team also deals with cash-management, so you will assist with bank reconciliation, checking cash-balances, allocating any petty cash entries and general income management.

However, your key duties will be sales ledger and credit collections.

What you'll need to succeed
You will have experience of sales ledger processing and be confident in credit collections as well as statement / account reconciliation. Therefore, you must have at least 1-2 years' experience in finance and be confident with Excel to analyse and reconcile financial data. Ideally, you will be an AAT student, but this is not essential, but proven experience in sales ledger processing and credit control, so all-round bookkeeping/transactional finance is key.

What you'll get in return
This is a permanent sales ledger / credit control job and, after a qualifying period, hybrid-working of 2 days in their Dereham office and 3 days working at home will be offered. The organisation offers a salary of £25,000 with 25 days' holiday plus Bank Holidays, a generous pension of 14% from the employer, free car parking and a recently refurbished office.
