Accounts payable staff have an important role to play in the day-to-day running of any credit control, as it is their job to ensure your accounts are settled on time and to the correct amount.
Portfolio Credit Control can help you find the best candidates for these vital vacancies, with our team of consultants offering years of experience in the recruitment sector.
Finding Quality Accounts Payable Candidates
Many of the attributes required of an accounts payable employee are similar to those needed in other credit control roles. For example, when dealing with money it is essential to show excellent attention to detail. This will help identify any discrepancies in your accounts, which could help prevent you from paying bills late. It also decreases the likelihood of potentially costly mistakes being made.
It may be that there is occasionally a problem with a bill or account, in which case your accounts payable team may need to deal with accounts receivable staff from another business. They will need to possess the interpersonal skill to resolve the issue quickly, sensitively and to the satisfaction of your business.
A degree of technological ability is also desirable in order for the candidate to get started on their work straight away. Most organisations look for proficiency in at least one of Microsoft Access, Excel or Oracle Database.
