We're working with a well-established business based on the outskirts of East Birmingham who are on the lookout for a Credit Controller to join their friendly, high-performing finance team. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who enjoys building relationships and wants to be part of a business that's growing and investing in long-term projects.
This is a temporary to permanent position - the team has just taken on a major new project that will run for at least the next 2-3 years, and they need immediate support to manage the increased workload. The plan is to bring someone in on a temporary basis for the first three months, and then, if everything's working well, move you into a permanent role. So, it's very much a long-term opportunity for the right person!
What you'll be doing:
* Taking full ownership of your ledger, covering a mix of high-volume and national customer accounts
* Chasing outstanding debt across a UK-based customer portfolio, with a focus on phone-based collection and relationship building
* Allocating incoming payments and cash receipts accurately and promptly
* Raising and sending sales invoices and issuing credit notes when needed
* Monitoring aged debt and proactively following up on overdue balances
* Managing complex accounts with multiple payments per month and high-volume transactions
* Running customer statements, payment reports and supporting credit management reviews
* Liaising with commercial and internal teams to resolve customer queries or disputes
* Supporting internal reporting on cash flow and debtor days
* Working independently to keep your accounts up-to-date while being a key part of a supportive finance team
Who we're looking for:
* An experienced Credit Controller with at least 2-3 years in B2B credit control
* Someone who thrives in a relationship-focused environment and enjoys speaking with customers
* Confident managing a smaller number of accounts with large, complex volumes
* A strong communicator who can build rapport quickly but also knows when to get their head down and focus
* Comfortable managing the full credit control process, from raising invoices through to payment allocation and query resolution
* Someone who is available to start immediately or on short notice - we need someone ASAP!
Summary:
If you're an experienced Credit Controller who loves building strong relationships and wants a hybrid role with long-term potential, this is a great opportunity to join a growing business based on the outskirts of East Birmingham - with onsite parking included!
