This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys problem-solving, building positive working relationships and contributing to the smooth running of a busy finance function.

What You'll Do

• Manage credit control and collections: Proactively follow up overdue balances, investigate and resolve customer payment disputes, and work towards agreed monthly collection targets to improve debtor days. Ensure credit control activities are carried out effectively and in line with agreed procedures.
• Support billing and payment processes: Work closely with the billing team to ensure sales invoices are accurate and distributed on time.

Produce accurate weekly and monthly reports to keep the business informed of collections progress and support effective cash management.
• Build strong customer relationships: Deliver excellent service to internal and external customers, providing commercial input and regularly reviewing customer accounts and ledgers to improve efficiency and strengthen working relationships. Maintain the internal ticketing system, ensuring queries are managed and resolved promptly.
• Support finance operations and improvements: Complete all month-end activities accurately and within agreed timelines and procedures. Identify opportunities to improve credit control processes, support colleagues with ad hoc responsibilities and provide team cover when required.

• Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage competing priorities, maintain accurate records and meet deadlines.
• Confidence working with financial information, spreadsheets and finance systems, with an ability to support cash forecasting, reporting and account reconciliation.
• A proactive and collaborative approach to problem-solving, with a willingness to improve processes, take ownership of responsibilities and support colleagues across the business.
