This is an opportunity to take a process that is currently not owned by anyone and put your own stamp on it.
In addition, you will work with the office manager and assist with other finance processes – raising sales invoices, customer queries, bank entries in Quick books, and supplier invoices or costs.
We expect this role to be fulfilled on a part time basis, with an opportunity to increase hours in the future if this works for you. We are flexible on the hours/timing, with preference for 5 days a week 4-5 hours per day.

Background Re-Customers and Current Processes
We currently have around 800 clients who are all invoiced on a recurring basis, with invoicing and credit control managed from the UK for entities in UK, USA and Australia.
We have a client base across not for profit, private and public sector clients - this requires a flexible approach to credit control. Automated email dunning is in place, using Chaser HQ, but there is no ownership for follow up calls which are required in around 10% of the cases.
The FD is currently managing this process and will be able to handoff current processes and expectations.
About You
We’re looking for someone who has experience of credit control, but the most important facet is alignment with the culture of the business and the key contacts on the account.
This requires a flexible approach in dealing with contacts who range from business owners, c-suite and operational directors alongside traditional accounts payable staff.
You will be comfortable with ambiguity, and willing to pick up the phone and find the right person to speak to and take a friendly but firm approach.
We are looking for a self-starter, comfortable managing your own workload, and systematic follow up for overdue balances, to bring outstanding payments to a conclusion.
In supporting the office manager with other finance processes, you will have willingness to assist team members, and get on with other people in the business.
We don’t expect you to be an expert on day one, but you will have the desire to build your knowledge and become a critical team members as we grow.
