Credit Controller ​/ Finance Administrator - 4 month contract

Location: Salford
Contract: 4 Month Temporary Contract
Hours: Monday-Thursday 9.00am-5.30pm, Friday 9.00am-4.00pm

We're recruiting for an experienced Finance Administrator to join an established media business based in Salford. This is a hands-on temporary role for somebody who understands finance processes but is also confident dealing directly with suppliers. You'll be joining a busy environment where a high volume of suppliers are used across different projects, so keeping on top of information, invoices, payments and queries is critical.

This isn't a role where you'll spend the whole day behind a spreadsheet. You'll provide day-to-day finance administration while acting as an important point of contact for suppliers. When somebody has a payment query, you'll take ownership, investigate what has happened and work with the relevant teams to get it resolved. There is a real customer service element to the position, so how you communicate is just as important as your finance experience.

• Managing supplier and payment queries
• Investigating outstanding or delayed payments
• Supporting supplier onboarding and administration
• Liaising with internal finance and operational teams
• Speaking directly with suppliers by telephone and email
• Resolving invoice and payment queries
• Maintaining accurate supplier and financial information
• Following issues through from initial query to resolution
• Providing general finance administration support to the wider business

• You'll have previous experience within finance administration, accounts, accounts payable, purchase ledger, credit control or a similar finance environment.
• You'll understand invoice and payment processes and be comfortable picking up new systems quickly.
• Just as importantly, you'll be confident dealing with people.
• You need to be comfortable picking up the phone when there's an issue, having potentially difficult conversations and keeping suppliers informed. You'll be able to challenge when necessary without damaging relationships and will take ownership of problems rather than simply passing them elsewhere.
• We're looking for somebody organised, proactive and personable who can come into the business and make an impact quickly.
• You'll ideally be available to start at short notice and able to work from the Salford office
