Senior Credit Control Manager - Recruitment Business Do you have strong credit control experience within the recruitment sector - ideally supporting a temp/contract-led business operating across multiple international markets? If so, this is a particularly interesting opportunity to take on a broader and more strategic remit than a traditional Credit Control Manager role. Our client is a growing international recruitment business looking to appoint an experienced Credit Control/Credit Risk & Working Capital Manager to review and strengthen the way it manages client exposure, commercial risk, funding relationships and credit-control processes across its international operations. Importantly, this is NOT a business with a significant aged-debt problem. The focus is much more forward-looking: understanding where risk sits, whether existing processes and structures are fit for future growth, and ensuring the business is making well-informed commercial decisions around the clients it chooses to work with and the terms it accepts. The role will include: Reviewing the existing credit-control function, processes, systems and team structure. Taking a pragmatic, hands-on approach when required - getting into the detail of individual accounts, invoices, processes and issues rather than operating purely at a strategic level. Assessing client exposure across different international markets and identifying where concentrations of risk may exist. Working with senior stakeholders to understand whether individual contracts and client relationships represent genuinely good business from a cash, risk and working-capital perspective. Challenging extended payment terms where appropriate, particularly where larger clients seek to impose terms that may be commercially unattractive. Looking beyond headline revenue to consider the wider implications of client terms, payment behaviour and funding requirements. Reviewing relationships with invoice-discounting providers across different territories and ensuring facilities remain appropriate for the business. Understanding the interaction between client contracts, billing processes, funding arrangements and cash collection. Identifying operational weaknesses that could create future collection or cash-flow issues even where no current debt problem exists. Reviewing recurring administrative or contractual issues that can delay payment, create unnecessary rework or expose the business to avoidable risk. Helping the business establish clearer controls around billing entities, contractual information, invoicing requirements and client onboarding. Reviewing the current Credit Control team and identifying opportunities to strengthen, reshape or develop the existing team. Improving reporting and visibility around debtor exposure, client concentration, payment terms, DSO and working-capital risk. Identifying opportunities for automation and process improvement. Developing a more scalable framework that can support continued international expansion. What we're looking for Recruitment-sector experience is particularly important for this appointment. You'll ideally have worked within a temp or contract-led recruitment business and understand the relationship between client contracts, timesheets, payroll, billing, invoice discounting, working capital and cash collection. International experience would be highly advantageous, particularly where you've dealt with different funding providers, client structures, currencies and payment practices across several territories. We're looking for someone who can operate above the day-to-day ledger, but who is equally comfortable getting into the weeds when required. This is a strategic role, but it is not a purely advisory one: you'll need to be pragmatic, hands-on and prepared to work through the detail yourself in order to understand issues, challenge effectively and drive practical improvements. You'll be comfortable asking questions such as: Are we taking on the right type of business? Are the payment terms commercially sensible? Is our exposure to a particular client becoming too high? Are our funding arrangements appropriate in each market? Are our contracts and billing processes protecting us from avoidable delays? Is the current team structure right for where the business is heading? What could become a problem six or twelve months from now if we don't address it today? You'll combine strong technical credit-control knowledge with commercial judgement, curiosity and the confidence to challenge established ways of working. Permanent or Fixed-Term? The current intention is for this to be a permanent appointment. That said, our client recognises that the nature of the role may also appeal to someone who specialises in transformation, review and improvement projects. For the right individual, they would therefore be open to considering a 12-month fixed-term contract if that structure is better suited to the candidate and the assignment. Given the high volume of responses we receive from the combination of job boards, social media and other sources and despite our best efforts, many of our responses will be via email as we simply can't call every application - We know that's not what you want to hear but we hope you'll understand? Short-listed candidates will obviously be contacted for this specific role, and if you haven't heard from us within a week, please assume you have been unsuccessful on this occasion. We will keep your CV on file to contact you with regards to future roles and any other advice to help you, however if you do not wish to remain on our database, please let us know and we will obviously remove you. Alternatively, please feel free to contact us for a chat

Financial Accountant - Paignton - £35k - £42k - Permanent - Full time Some finance roles are all about getting the month end over the line. Others give you the chance to get involved in how a business actually runs. This is much more the latter. I'm working with a growing business looking to strengthen its finance team with a Financial Accountant. Reporting to the Finance Manager, you'll take responsibility for a range of financial accounting activities, from maintaining accurate records and preparing reconciliations through to cash flow forecasting, VAT returns and supporting the production of management accounts. It's a broad role in a business that's grown rapidly in recent years, so there's plenty of scope to get involved beyond the core accounting duties. You'll have the opportunity to take the lead on specific initiatives, help improve processes and controls, and develop your experience as the business continues to grow. What will you be doing? - Maintaining accurate financial records and supporting the preparation of monthly management accounts. - Completing weekly bank reconciliations and updating cash flow statements and forecasts. - Calculating and posting accruals and prepayments, maintaining the fixed asset register and reconciling balance sheet accounts. - Supporting revenue recognition calculations and preparing quarterly VAT returns. - Working with operational colleagues to maintain accurate data within the project management system. - Liaising with suppliers, supporting sales and purchase ledger activities when needed, and helping secure favourable supplier terms. - Contributing to improvements in financial controls, systems and processes. What are we looking for? You'll have at least four years' experience in a similar finance or accounting role, alongside a minimum of AAT qualification or Qualified by Experience (QBE). You'll have a good grounding in financial accounting, with the experience to manage your own responsibilities while working collaboratively with the wider team. Confidence using accounting software such as Xero or QuickBooks, alongside Excel and other Microsoft applications, is important, as is a sound understanding of reconciliations and financial controls. You'll be organised, accurate and comfortable managing competing priorities, with a positive, practical approach and the confidence to communicate with colleagues, customers and suppliers. Experience working within an SME environment would be advantageous, as would exposure to a technical, scientific or contract-based business. Part-qualified ACA, ACCA or CIMA candidates are also welcome to apply. Ultimately, we're looking for someone who can get into the detail, learn quickly and contribute to the continued development of the finance function. What's on offer? A salary of £35,000 to £42,000, depending on experience, with a permanent position in a growing business. You'll have a varied role with scope to take ownership of your work, contribute to wider business initiatives and help improve how things are done. The working environment is supportive and collaborative, with opportunities for further progression as the business develops and potential for full-time hours. If you're an experienced finance professional looking for a role with a bit more breadth, where you can get involved in the detail while also helping improve how things are done, this could be well worth a conversation.
