Credit Controller

We're working with a well-established Coventry business looking to add a Credit Controller to their finance team.

This is a solid, hands-on role for someone who enjoys taking ownership of a ledger, building relationships with customers and keeping cash collection moving in the right direction. You'll be working closely with the Financial Controller, with responsibility across sales ledger maintenance, credit control and query resolution.

• Managing and maintaining the sales ledger, ensuring records are accurate and up to date
• Opening new customer accounts in line with internal processes
• Setting, reviewing and maintaining customer credit limits
• Posting customer receipts, recharge invoices and rebate credit notes
• Calculating customer prompt payment rebates
• Sending monthly statements and chasing overdue balances by phone, email and letter
• Supporting with customer invoice queries and helping resolve issues quickly
• Maintaining the stop list and escalating unpaid debts where required
• Assisting the Financial Controller and Finance Director with ad hoc finance tasks

• Previous experience in credit control, sales ledger or a similar finance role
• A good understanding of basic financial accounting
• Strong Excel skills and a confident approach to systems
• Good attention to detail and the ability to work accurately
• A confident, personable approach when dealing with customers and internal teams
• The ability to take responsibility for your work and manage your own ledger
• VAT knowledge would be beneficial

• A stable role within an established business
• Exposure across both credit control and wider sales ledger duties
• The chance to work closely with senior finance stakeholders
• A varied role where you can take genuine ownership of the ledger
• Supportive team environment with plenty of day-to-day interaction across the business

This would suit someone who likes a traditional credit control role, but still wants enough variety to stay engaged across the wider finance function.
