Working alongside an existing Credit Controller, you will play a key role in proactively managing and reducing outstanding debt while maintaining high standards of client care and regulatory compliance.

• Escalate complex or overdue account issues to the Finance Manager where appropriate.
• Ensure full compliance with all relevant sector regulations, data protection and anti-money laundering policies (full training provided).

• A strong understanding of credit control processes and debt recovery best practices.
• Intermediate proficiency in Microsoft Excel.
• Experience working within a professional services environment (desirable, though not essential).
