Credit Controller Location: Macclesfield Position Type: Full-Time, Permanent Salary: £25,000 performance-based incentives Picture This: You’re the person who keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes. Every time you pick up the phone or send an email, you’re not just chasing payments—you’re building relationships, solving problems, and making sure the business stays on solid financial ground. My client, a well-established business based in Macclesfield, is looking for a hands-on Credit Controller to join their team. What You’ll Be Doing: You’ll be managing a mix of big corporate clients and SMEs, making sure payments come in on time while keeping everyone happy. No two days will be the same—one minute you’re resolving a query with a friendly but firm approach, the next you’re analysing aged debts to spot trends and improve how cash is collected. Your day-to-day will include: * Proactively chasing debts—not in a pushy way, but with professionalism and persistence. * Digging into discrepancies, figuring out what’s gone wrong, and working with customers to sort it out fast. * Sending out reminders (emails, letters, or even legal docs if needed) to keep payments on track. * Coming up with smart strategies to speed up cash collection and reduce those pesky debtor days. * Checking out new customers—are they good for the money?—and teaming up with sales to balance risk with growth. * Keeping everything organised and on point, so nothing slips through the cracks. You won’t just be a number-cruncher—you’ll be the go-to person who makes sure cash flow stays healthy while keeping clients on side. Is This You? You’ve got experience in credit control, and you know how to handle tricky situations with a cool head. You’re the kind of person who: * Loves solving problems and doesn’t shy away from a challenge. * Is goal-driven—you love hitting targets and seeing the results of your hard work. * Can juggle tasks like a pro, keeping everything organised even when it’s busy. * Has a knack for talking to people—whether it’s a friendly chat or a firm but fair conversation. * Wants to work somewhere that values your contribution and rewards you for it. Why You’ll Love Working Here: This company isn’t just about the numbers—they look after their team too. Here’s what you’ll get: * A 35-hour week, so you’ve got time to enjoy life outside of work. * Maternity/paternity pay and baby first aid—because life’s big moments matter. * Company days out—because work should be fun too. * An employee assistance programme and wellbeing app to keep you feeling your best. * A contribution towards your eye test and glasses—because they care about the little things. * Performance-based bonuses—because when you do well, they want you to benefit too.
