Summary
I am a credit controller with 30 years experience and there no excuse I have not heard.
I can help in getting your invoices raised and chased in order to aid your company's cashflow. I can also carry out risk assessments to ensure that your are not extending credit facilities to customers who cannot pay.
I am an Associtate member of the Chartered Institute of Credit Management and have had a wide experience within different industires of all sizes. Working with Pepsico, Vodafone & Randstad so used to working in both product and service based collections.
I understand the need to keep a good working relationships with your customers and some find chasing for money uncomfortable so take the stress out of credit control and spend more time on leads for your own business or quality time with friends & family.
Experience

Topcon GB Medical
Credit Controller
21 - 100 Employees 2019 - 2022Topcon supplies optical equipment to opticians & the NHS. As the stand alone credit controller my duties included setting up accounts, analysing Equifax & setting credit limit and payment terms. There was an aged debt of around 400 customers, chasing each one a few times per month ready for a fortnightly meeting with the FD to discuss progress. I greatly reduced the aged debt for the major customer Boots Opticians and helped in streamling the process in order to keep the cash coming in without as many queries.
I supported the Finance Department by releasing the sales and service orders if the accounts were blocked bu either making the decision myself or eascalting to the FD or MD as per proceedures.
I raised all the sales & service invoices esuring that JSOX approvals were in place & applicable PO's fully matched the invoice requests.
I was also in charge of the banking so I would download and allocate all the AR cash per day.

Senior Credit Controller
100+ Employees 2007 - 2019RPS is an Envirnmental Consultancy & I worked within the Planning & Development division. I looked after ledgers of around £3m per month & hit my collections target most months. The larger of the clients were the big house builders but we also did work for private clients such as Harry Rednapp and Bear Grylls. RPS acquired CGMS in 2014 & I was asked to look after the Archaeology ledger and reduced the debtor days from over 100 down to 57 in a few months. Due to my success I was asked to look after the CGMS planning ledger.
I would also report on world cash when my manager was away.
