Hands-on, proactive Credit Controller required for a business near Bury St Edmunds: £Basic + Bonus Your new company Hays Accountancy & Finance are supporting a commercial business based on the outskirts of Bury St Edmunds who are looking to strengthen their credit control team with an additional credit controller where you will manage your own customers, which will range from owner-managed SME businesses through to corporate organisations. The business offers flexible hybrid working of 2 days in the office and 3 days working from home. Your new role As an experienced credit controller, you will take responsibility for circa 600-700 key customers in managing your part of the sales ledger and collections, which will require you to maintain a strong business relationship with these customers by setting credit limits, ensuring sales invoices are being raised correctly by the sales team, resolving any invoices through to collection of outstanding invoices and monitoring those on 30 & 60 day terms.

What you'll need to succeed This is very much a customer contact collection role, so you will have confident communication skills, both verbally and written, as well as attention to detail in the recording of all communication both externally and internally to ensure ease of collection. The business uses a reporting system with key action points to help you manage your daily tasks, but as an experienced credit controller, you will be highly organised, process driven and have a strong commercial awareness of managing outstanding debt but still maintaining customer loyalty. What you'll get in return They offer a flexible hybrid working week of 2 days in the office, which must include a Tuesday, 3 days working from home and normal working hours of 8am - 4.30pm.
