Credit Controller

Our client is seeking a sharp, detail-oriented and highly accountable Credit Controller to join their finance team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Credit Controller who understands that effective credit management goes beyond collecting outstanding payments. It requires sound financial judgement, proactive risk assessment and the confidence to make informed decisions that protect the business.

You will be responsible for managing both corporate and consumer debtor accounts, ensuring that credit risks are carefully assessed, customer accounts are accurately maintained and orders are only released once all necessary credit requirements have been satisfied.

• Making informed decisions regarding order releases in accordance with company credit policies and procedures.
• Proactively collecting outstanding payments and ensuring adherence to agreed payment terms.
• Reconciling customer accounts and accurately allocating payments.
• Managing new account applications and maintaining accurate customer records.
• Investigating and resolving account discrepancies, payment queries and outstanding credit notes.
• Retrieving proof of deliveries and assisting customers with account-related documentation.
• Performing month-end credit control procedures and supporting debtor reporting.
• Working closely with internal departments to ensure effective credit management and customer service.

What We're Looking For

• Matric qualification.
• At least 2 to 3 years' relevant credit control experience.
• Experience dealing with both corporate and consumer accounts is essential.
• Practical experience in credit risk assessment and order release decisions.
• Strong financial understanding and excellent numerical ability.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and financial systems.
• Excellent communication, organisational and problem-solving skills.

The Person We're Looking For

You're someone who thinks before acting, questions discrepancies and understands the importance of protecting the business from unnecessary financial risk.
You take ownership of your work, follow procedures without cutting corners and have the confidence to make logical, well-considered decisions.
You're equally comfortable engaging with customers, resolving account queries and analysing financial information.
Most importantly, you understand that a good Credit Controller doesn't simply manage outstanding debt. They help prevent it.
