Oakhill Recruitment Ltd
Accounts Receivable Administrator – Basildon, Essex – £28,000- £34,000
If you enjoy managing customer accounts, taking ownership of your ledger, and playing a visible role in cash flow, this role offers exactly that.
You’ll join a collaborative finance team and be responsible for managing the sales ledger end-to-end, combining proactive credit control with accurate billing and reporting. Your work will directly support the financial health of the business.
You'll manage the sales ledger end-to-end — raising and sending invoices, chasing outstanding debt, allocating and reconciling customer payments, and handling account queries. You'll also produce aged debtor reports, support month-end close, and escalate overdue accounts where needed. An awareness of the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) would be a bonus, though it's not essential.
What you'll bring
- Experience in a credit control, accounts receivable, or sales ledger role
- A confident, professional telephone manner when chasing debt
- Strong accuracy and attention to detail
- Good Excel skills and a well-organised, proactive approach
