About

Introduction:This is such an exciting one - a rapidly growing, private-equity-backed business in the Coventry area are on the lookout for someone to step in and truly own their sales ledger function. The business provides long-term contracted services within the real estate sector, and they're now ready for someone who can bring clarity, confidence, and structure to how money is raised, chased, reconciled, and allocated. With growth happening at pace, this is a brilliant chance to join a team that genuinely moves quickly and embraces new ways of working. This temporary to permanent role is all about taking responsibility for the full order-to-cash process. Yes, there's aged debt to get on top of (and that will be your first big win) but beyond that, it's about stepping back, understanding how everything connects, and driving improvements across the full ledger. You'll be tracking long-term contracts, understanding what's been invoiced, what hasn't, what's been paid, what's been allocated correctly (or not ), and working across the business to keep everything moving. It's perfect for someone immediately available or on a short notice period. Key Responsibilities: Take full ownership of the end-to-end sales ledger process (order to cash).Review and resolve aged debt, ensuring timely follow-up and accurate reporting.Complete bank reconciliations, allocating payments and investigating mismatches.Map out and review the full sales ledger process - identifying process gaps, inefficiencies, and improvement opportunities.Liaise with internal teams to understand contract progress, invoicing requirements, and payment status.Ensure invoices are raised and created correctly and issued on time.Track long-term contracts to understand where work is at, what can be billed, and what needs chasing.Maintain accurate allocation of payments to
