Credit Controller

Credit Controller - Bath area - £36,000 - Full-time - Permanent

Trial Balance Consulting are delighted to be working exclusively with a well-established, award-winning equipment hire business with ambitious growth plans. The company seek to recruit an experienced Credit Controller to join their Accounts team on a full-time, permanent basis.

The role will be based in the Bath area, with a planned move to a nearby location later this year. The successful candidate will work closely with the Finance Manager and wider accounts and depot teams. You will take a hands-on role in managing customer accounts, chasing outstanding debt and supporting the smooth running of credit control operations, requiring a professional, firm but fair approach.

Key responsibilities

• Proactive management of aged debt and cash collection in line with company policy
• Chasing outstanding balances by phone and email
• Processing and allocating customer payments accurately
• Investigating and resolving invoice queries and account discrepancies
• Assessing credit risk, reviewing credit limits and managing account holds
• Producing statements and aged debtor reports
• Communicating effectively with internal teams to resolve issues and minimise delays

The successful candidate will have proven credit control experience, strong communication skills and a methodical, organised approach. Confidence dealing with customers at all levels is essential. Experience within hire, construction or trade environments would be advantageous but is not essential.

This is a growing, people-focused business with an excellent reputation for staff retention, offering a positive working environment and strong long-term prospects.
