Credit controllers manage the debts of a company. They oversee all the debts owed to the company from existing creditors and process new requests for credit. Credit controllers ensure payments are made on time, process invoices, resolve account queries and manage debt recovery.

When interviewing credit controllers, the ideal candidate will have in-depth knowledge of accounting and financial software, good communication skills, and advanced knowledge of the legal complexities of loans. Be wary of candidates who lack advanced interpersonal skills, and those who are unable to deal with high-pressure situations.
