We are a global video and lighting service provider with multiple locations across the UK and the US. We bring an unrivalled service and technical know-how to every project we deliver, supporting exhibitions, concerts, touring, conferences, theatre, TV, film and retail.

We are seeking an Accounts Receivable Associate to join our UK finance team. This role will support the smooth and accurate management of customer accounts, invoicing and credit control, helping to maintain strong financial controls and support healthy cash flow across the business.

Primary Responsibilities

• Raise and process customer invoices accurately and promptly, including manual and proforma invoices
• Respond to customer queries relating to invoices, payments, account balances, and billing, working with internal teams to resolve issues
• Maintain accurate sales ledger records, customer accounts, statements, and invoicing documentation within Sage 200 and our management system.
• Carry out credit checks and assist with assessing customer creditworthiness and appropriate credit limits
• Prepare debtor reports and maintain accurate records of collection activity, escalating overdue accounts where appropriate
