Credit Controller

Credit Controller - Poole - Circa: £28,000 Negotiable DOE

Trial Balance Consulting are delighted to have been engaged by a new client, a long established and highly successful manufacturer of specialist commercial products. The business has tasked us with sourcing a Credit Controller to join their finance function on a full time, permanent contract. The role will be based at the company headquarters in Poole.

Reporting to both Finance Manager and Finance Director, and working as part of a friendly and experienced team, this will be a broad and interesting role that encompasses far more than simply chasing overdue accounts. Key responsibilities include:

1. Act as a key point of contact for customers with account and invoicing queries via telephone, email, and occasionally onsite.
2. Raise customer invoices and statements.
3. Customer account reconciliation.
4. Regular interaction with department managers who wish to escalate customer payment difficulties.
5. Ensure efficient but polite practices where customer accounts fall into arrears.
6. Proactive management of new customer accounts, reviewing creditworthiness.
7. Assist the wider finance team on a range of projects and month/year end procedures.

For this role, we are ideally seeking a candidate with previous credit control/accounts receivable experience; however, our client is open-minded to applicants with an understanding of commercial account management. A balancing act of persistence and tenacity but with a sympathetic, caring attitude to clients that are experiencing payment difficulties is essential. Applicants should possess good all-round communication and IT skills, and ideally have exposure to digital accounting systems.

It's not just career development on offer here either. The company offers exceptional financial benefits, impressive modern premises, and the opportunity to work with a friendly, highly experienced team.
