Sales Ledger Credit Controller

Job Description:

Are you a numbers enthusiast with a talent for keeping the cash flowing and the books in perfect order?

We are working with a well-established industrial trading company based in Burton upon Trent to find a meticulous and commercially minded Sales Ledger & Credit Controller who thrives on accuracy, meets deadlines with ease, and enjoys building great relationships both internally and externally.

In this role, you’ll be the heartbeat of the local finance function, reporting directly to the Finance Manager/CFO and making a tangible impact on the company’s financial health. From managing credit risk to keeping accounts reconciled and cash flow forecasts sharp, you’ll have a varied role that’s as much about relationship management as it is about precision with the numbers.

What you will be doing:

• Managing the credit control process — setting credit limits, reviewing payment histories, and making sure invoices are paid on time.
• Building great relationships with customers to resolve queries quickly and keep everything running smoothly.
• Reconciling daily bank receipts and performing monthly bank reconciliations.
• Assisting with cashflow forecasting and supporting local factoring activities.
• Contributing to month-end reporting and helping maintain group reporting data in the ERP system.

What we are looking for:

• Finance/Accounting degree or CICM/AAT qualification (or equivalent experience).
• A strong grasp of local accounting standards and regulations.
• Analytical, detail-oriented, and great with deadlines.
• Proficiency in Excel and financial/ERP systems (SAP a bonus).
• Confident communicator with excellent negotiation skills.

What’s on offer:

• Hybrid working policy for flexibility and work-life balance.
• A chance to join a respected, growing company where your contributions make a visible difference.
• A supportive environment that values both precision and proactive thinking.

If you’re ready to take ownership of your ledger, keep credit risk in check and work with a company that’s as invested in your success as you are in theirs — we would love to hear from you.  However, if you do not hear back from us within 48hrs, kindly assume you have been unsuccessful. (agy)
