The leading credit control recruiter in the UK

Finance and credit control roles require a precise combination of technical knowledge, commercial awareness, and interpersonal discipline. Generalist agencies often lack the depth to assess these effectively, resulting in longer hiring cycles and candidates who look right on paper but underperform in practice.

A specialist recruiter understands the distinctions between roles — from transactional credit control and collections through to senior finance business partnering and treasury. We maintain an active network of pre-vetted professionals, many of whom are not actively applying through job boards, and use current market data to help you benchmark offers accurately. The result is faster shortlists, better-matched candidates, and a stronger return on your recruitment investment.

We recruit across the full range of finance and credit control functions, from transactional and operational roles through to senior leadership appointments. This includes Credit Controllers, Senior Credit Controllers, Credit Managers, and Heads of Credit, as well as Finance Assistants, Finance Analysts, Management Accountants, Financial Controllers, and Finance Directors.

We also support specialist hires in areas such as debt recovery, AR process improvement, and finance transformation. Whether you need a permanent hire, interim cover, or an executive search, we tailor our approach to the seniority and complexity of each brief.

Yes. Whether you need interim cover during a period of change, specialist support for a finance transformation project, or temporary resource to manage cash flow pressures and increased collections activity, we offer flexible solutions across short-term, fixed-term, and contract appointments. Our network includes experienced interim professionals who can step in at short notice and deliver immediate impact.

We typically present qualified, pre-vetted candidates within two to three working days. For interim and temporary requirements, we can often move faster. Timelines vary depending on seniority and specialism, but our focused candidate network and sector expertise allow us to respond quickly without compromising on quality.

The skills employers are prioritising in 2026 reflect how rapidly the profession is evolving. Digital fluency is now essential — professionals who are confident working with ERP systems, automation tools, and data analytics platforms are consistently sought after.

Commercial acumen is increasingly valued beyond the finance function itself, particularly for those working closely with sales, operations, and senior leadership. In credit control specifically, the ability to balance assertive collections activity with strong relationship management remains a critical differentiator.

Salaries vary by role, region, and sector. Based on verified placement data from 2024/25, typical ranges include: Credit Controllers earn £25,000–£38,000, Senior Credit Controllers £35,000–£48,000, and Credit Managers £45,000–£65,000. Finance Analysts typically earn £35,000–£55,000, Management Accountants £45,000–£65,000, Financial Controllers £60,000–£90,000, and Finance Directors £90,000–£150,000 depending on organisational scale.

London and the South East generally command the upper end of these ranges. For a full regional breakdown, download our Credit Control Salary Guide

Candidate priorities have shifted considerably. Flexibility — including hybrid and remote working arrangements — is now the most common factor in decision-making, frequently ranked above base salary. Career progression, quality of leadership, and organisational stability all weigh heavily, particularly at mid and senior levels.

Finance and credit control professionals are increasingly drawn to employers who invest in their development, offer clear progression pathways, and operate with a culture of accountability and transparency. Businesses that combine competitive remuneration with genuine development opportunities are consistently securing the strongest candidates in this market.
