The Senior Accounts Receivable role was central to supporting cash flow management and customer relationships within a busy finance team in Guildford. Working closely with the Management Accountant, the position combined responsibility for credit control, banking, and reporting with opportunities to contribute to wider finance processes.
Core responsibilities
The role involved onboarding new customers and completing credit checks, managing cash across multiple accounts, and producing aged debt analysis. It also required chasing overdue invoices, maintaining an invoice finance facility, and liaising with the bank to protect against customer defaults. Additional duties included assisting with payment processing and supporting the release of customer orders.
Skills and experience required
The business was seeking someone with proven accounts receivable experience, ideally AAT qualified or studying towards it. Strong communication skills, accuracy in handling data, and experience with banking and foreign currencies were important. A proactive approach and the ability to manage deadlines independently were also valued.
Value to the business
This role ensured the finance team had robust support in managing receivables and protecting cash flow, which is vital for sustaining growth. It highlights the type of transactional finance recruitment we regularly manage in Guildford, Worthing and across Surrey and Sussex.
