• Allocate customer receipts against sales invoices and investigate unallocated cash.
• Maintain clean, accurate and well-managed AR ledgers.
• Support the clean-up and resolution of historic ledger balances.
• Investigate and resolve billing and payment discrepancies.
• Post cash transactions and complete regular bank reconciliations.
• Manage finance mailboxes and respond to queries in a timely manner.
• Review, post and reconcile credit card transactions and follow up on missing documentation.
• Escalate unreconciled items in line with internal controls and month-end deadlines.

About You

We're looking for someone who is proactive, organised and confident managing credit control independently.

You'll ideally have:

• Proven experience managing credit control end to end.
• Experience working in a complex environment, such as multiple entities, currencies, high transaction volumes or varied billing terms.
• A proven track record of collecting historic or aged debt, ideally with measurable results.
• Strong communication skills and the confidence to deal with customers and internal stakeholders at all levels.
• Excellent Excel and general IT skills.
• A strong eye for detail and an investigative, problem-solving mindset.
• The ability to work independently while reporting into a Senior Finance Manager.
• Excellent organisation and time-management skills.
• Resilience and professionalism when handling difficult customer conversations.
• A proactive approach to improving processes and challenging inefficient ways of working.

Experience within the IT or SaaS sector would be advantageous, and knowledge of Oracle NetSuite would be desirable.

What's on Offer?

• Salary up to £35,000, depending on experience.
• Hybrid working – 3 days onsite and 2 days from home.
• Permanent, full-time position.
• Opportunity to join a growing technology-focused business.
• A varied and hands-on finance role with genuine ownership.
• The opportunity to contribute to process improvements and the wider finance function.
