We’re BDO. An accountancy and business advisory firm, providing the advice and solutions entrepreneurial organisations need to navigate today’s changing world.

We work with the companies that are Britain’s economic engine – ambitious, entrepreneurially-spirited and high‑growth businesses that fuel the economy - and directly advise the owners and management teams that lead them.

We’ll broaden your horizons

Working with every department at BDO, our Finance team helps us meet relevant legal requirements that ensure our firm operates effectively in a tightly-regulated field. They implement strategies that help us innovate – like combining new technology with traditional financial processes to make us even more digital.

With your colleagues behind you, you’ll embrace change, new ideas and have an impact on the future of our firm.

We’ll help you succeed

Leading organisations trust us because of the quality of our advice. That quality grows from a thorough understanding of their business, and that understanding comes from working closely with them and building long-lasting relationships.

You’ll be someone who is both comfortable working proactively and managing your own tasks, as well as confident collaborating with others and communicating regularly with senior managers, directors, and BDO’s partners to help businesses effectively. You’ll be encouraged to identify and draw attention to opportunities for enhancing our delivery and providing additional services to organisations we work with.

This is a shared role, in a team of 4 or 5, with responsibility for assisting in the Accounts Receivable and Credit Management function of the firm by accurate and timely processing of cash, and other receivables related duties, to ensure debtor ledgers are accurate.

This role is based in Gatwick and you will be expected to attend the office a minimum of 2 days per week (normally Tuesdays and Thursdays)

  • Accurately allocate client receipts against debtors ledgers on a daily basis
  • Liaise with credit controllers and other parties daily on allocations

  • Collate, process and bank cheques as well as process unpaid cheques
  • Process write-offs and bad debt requests where required
  • Issue of Sundry (non WIP) fees for the business
  • Ensure all electronic filing is up to date and accurate
  • Credit control for debts owed by member firm network
  • Assist with main credit control function, including contacting clients, where necessary
  • Print copy invoices and client statements as required by supervisor or manager
  • Handle and resolve all basic day-to-day client and business queries
  • Liaise with other key functions of the business as and when required

You’ll be someone with:

  • Excellent communication skills, both orally and in writing
  • An ability to follow a structured process to ensure compliance but able to work on own initiative to resolve queries promptly and accurately, adding value to existing processes as appropriate
  • Numeracy and attention to detail skills
  • The ability to prioritise own workload to meet deadlines from supervisor
  • A willingness to consider improvements to processes and the ability to discuss with supervisor

You’ll be able to be yourself; we’ll recognise and value you for who you are and celebrate and reward your contributions to the business. We’re committed to agile working, and we offer every colleague the opportunity to work in ways that suit you, your teams, and the task at hand.

At BDO, we’ll help you achieve your personal goals and career ambitions, and we have programmes, resources, and frameworks that provide clarity and structure around career development.

We’re in it together

Mutual support and respect is one of BDO’s core values and we’re proud of our distinctive, people-centred culture. From informal success conversations to formal mentoring and coaching, we’ll support you at every stage in your career, whatever your personal and professional needs.

Our agile working framework helps us stay connected, bringing teams together where and when it counts so they can share ideas and help one another. At BDO, you’ll always have access to the people and resources you need to do your best work.

We know that collaboration is the key to creating value for the companies we work with and satisfying experiences for our colleagues, so we’ve invested in state-of-the-art collaboration spaces in our offices. BDO’s people represent a wealth of knowledge and expertise, and we’ll encourage you to build your network, work alongside others, and share your skills and experiences. With a range of multidisciplinary events and dedicated resources, you’ll never stop learning at BDO.

At BDO, we help entrepreneurial businesses to succeed, fuelling the UK economy.

Our success is powered by our people, which is why we’re always finding new ways to invest in you. Across the UK thousands of unique minds continue to come together to help companies we work with to achieve their ambitions

We’ve got a clear purpose, and we’re confident in our future, because we’re adapting and evolving to build on our strengths, ensuring we continue to find the right combination of global reach, integrity and expertise. We shape the future together with openness and clarity, because we believe in empowering people to think creatively about how we can do things better.
