There is an exciting opportunity at our London office to join our Finance team as a Revenue Controller. This is a full‑time (35 hr a week) role reporting into the Revenue Control Manager.

As a Revenue Controller you will work in the Revenue Control team and be responsible for WIP management, billing, and credit control.

You will liaise with partners and team members at all levels and external clients, applying an assertive yet tactful approach while maintaining positive and constructive relationships.

Qualifications

This role is ideal for someone who has experience with billing and WIP, excellent numeracy skills, and the ability to reconcile accurately.
