The company has doubled turnover in recent years, continues to win new customer opportunities, and now requires a capable Finance & Accounts Coordinator to bring structure, ownership and visibility to its day-to-day accounts function. This is not a narrow credit control role. It is a hands-on, business-critical position where you will become the central link between customers, operations, directors and external accountants.

About You You are likely to suit this role if you have experience in: Credit control Sales ledger Accounts administration Finance coordination Cashflow forecasting Customer account management Sage or similar accounting software Excel-based reporting and forecasting Experience in logistics, transport, haulage, warehousing, freight, distribution or another high-volume operational environment would be highly advantageous, but is not essential. AAT qualification or study would be beneficial, although strong practical experience is equally important. Your Style You will need to be: Highly organised Accurate and detail focused Confident speaking to customers Professional and diplomatic Assertive when needed Commercially aware Proactive and self-motivated Comfortable working in a busy SME environment The successful candidate will be friendly and relationship-led, but also able to become firmer when payments are overdue or customer queries need resolving.
