Salary: Up to £50,000

Are you an experienced Credit Controller looking for a varied and relationship-driven role within a well-established law firm? A highly regarded private client firm is seeking a talented individual to join their Finance team in a dedicated Credit and Revenue Controller position. This is a genuinely people-facing role where your ability to build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders will be just as valued as your technical expertise.
The Role
The Credit and Revenue Controller will take ownership of a portfolio of allocated business areas, acting as the dedicated point of contact for Partners on all matters relating to debt management and WIP.
Key responsibilities include:
- Proactively managing aged debtor balances and working closely with Partners in monthly meetings to review outstanding debt, agree next steps and drive timely collections.
- Contacting clients directly to progress settlement of invoices and supporting escalation activity where required, including liaison with external debt collection agencies.
- Reviewing client files to understand the current status of WIP and outstanding balances, and contributing to ongoing process improvement as the firm looks to automate and modernise its revenue control function.
- Recording all credit control activity accurately in the firm's systems and preparing and issuing client statements.
- Please note this role does not carry a billing responsibility — the focus is firmly on credit control and WIP management.
The ideal candidate will be a confident, assertive and personable credit control professional who is comfortable managing expectations at Partner level. You will bring:
- Around two to three years' experience in a credit control or revenue control role, ideally gained within a legal or professional services environment.
- A proactive, highly organised approach with strong attention to detail and the ability to handle sensitive conversations with professionalism and good judgement.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the confidence to influence and build relationships with senior stakeholders. - WIP management experience is an advantage but not a requirement — full training will be provided in this area.
- Familiarity with systems such as 3E Elite, Aderant or ARCS would be desirable, as would knowledge of the Solicitors Accounts Rules.
We are an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion. We welcome qualified applicants of all abilities, backgrounds, experiences and characteristics. If you require any adjustments or additional support during any stage of the recruitment process, please just let us know.
