Day-to-day operating brief

What Credit Controller work looks like in practice

A Credit Controller monitors receivables, contacts customers, allocates payments and resolves invoice disputes to improve cash collection. The role handles bank information, customer circumstances and commercially sensitive account histories. Terms should define portfolio, contact channels and hours, payment-plan and settlement authority, dispute ownership, write-offs, legal referral, vulnerable customers, targets, incentives and record standards. Promise-to-pay records should include amount, date, method and any condition, allowing missed commitments to be handled consistently. Automated reminders must pause where a genuine dispute or vulnerability flag requires review. Allocation errors should be corrected before collection activity continues on a balance already paid. Credit-limit reviews should consider payment history, disputed exposure and fresh commercial approval, not just current balance. Releasing a held order can create new debt while earlier service issues or broken promises remain unresolved.

Contact customers appropriately.
