Do you get real satisfaction from bringing an aged debt report down to almost nothing?

We’re working with a well-established, growing business in West Kent that needs an experienced Credit Controller to join its friendly finance team. This is a hands‑on role with plenty of ownership. You’ll manage the full sales ledger, from raising an invoice to banking the cash, with the trust and autonomy to run it your way.

• Managing the sales ledger day to day, including invoices, credit notes and keeping customer accounts accurate
• Allocating payments and remittances and keeping banking up to date
• Completing the sales ledger month‑end close on time
• Chasing overdue accounts by phone and email, starting with the oldest and highest‑risk debt
• Handling a varied customer base, from straightforward portal‑based payers to accounts that need a more persistent approach
• Resolving queries, payment delays and missing POs with customers and internal teams
• Running credit checks and reconciliations, producing aged debt reports and supporting the year‑end audit

• Solid experience in credit control, accounts receivable or sales ledger
• Advanced Excel, including VLOOKUPs and Pivot Tables, with examples of your work you can share
• Experience with SAP Business One is ideal, though other ERP or accounting systems will be considered
• A confident, professional manner on the phone and the persistence to follow up until payment is made
• Strong attention to detail, good organisation and a natural instinct to resolve problems

• £30,000 – £32,000 depending on experience
• Hybrid working
• Private medical insurance
• Company pension
• 20 days’ holiday plus bank holidays

Interviews take place in November.
