If you work in credit control but donโ€™t fancy spending your entire day relentlessly chasing overdue invoices, this one might appeal.

Itโ€™s a broad role that sits somewhere between credit control, accounts administration and customer service. Yes, thereโ€™ll be debt to chase, but thereโ€™s also plenty of investigating, problem-solving and keeping accounts running as they should.
