I am a conscientious and confident Credit Controller with a sound experience of sales ledger and debt collection, and the ability to prioritise and work under pressure to meet deadlines. In my current job my key achievements have been consistently making 60 phone calls per day, clearing the debt of one account worth £36.000, and the implementation of an innovative new spreadsheet, allowing a more streamlined approach to analysing data and debt. Currently, I am keen to find a challenging role within credit control in order to further my experience and develop my abilities.
