Credit Controller at Triptease - Remote UK Contract — Columbus

Triptease is a hotel technology company helping independent hotels and groups drive more direct bookings. We invoice customers worldwide through three regional entities, each with its own ledger and multiple currencies.

We are moving to a new finance system in December. Before then, we want our sales ledgers clean, reconciled and accurate, so we migrate good data and start the new year strong.

Working alongside the Credit Control team, you will focus primarily on collections while supporting ledger clean-up and migration readiness.

This is a role for an experienced, self-sufficient credit controller who can take ownership of a collections workload and deliver results with minimal supervision.

Key Responsibilities

• 2+ years recent, hands-on Xero experience, including allocations, credit notes, customer reconciliations and AR reporting
• Extensive account and bank reconciliation experience, using Excel, Xero and other tools to match receipts to invoices, investigate variances and clear unapplied cash
• Experience managing multi-currency AR ledgers across multiple entities
• Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills, including lookups, pivots and reconciliations
