Hire a Credit Controller (UK) — get paid for work you've already delivered
Every overdue invoice on your ledger is cash you've already earned, sitting in someone else's account. Hire a dedicated Credit Controller to chase it down — reminders, firm follow-ups, payment plans, and escalation when it's genuinely needed — without you having to make the awkward call yourself.
Tell us the essentials — we'll come back with exactly how we'd fix your AP.
One continuous process — not three separate headaches you have to manage yourself.
Payment terms agreed, invoice issued to the client as normal.
Reminders, firm follow-up calls, and escalation, on a fixed schedule.
Payment collected, logged, and reflected in your ledger.
Unpaid invoices aren't a paperwork problem — they're a cashflow problem with a real price tag.
*Illustrative figure based on commonly cited UK late-payment research — ask us for current sourcing.
Treating a 35-day-overdue invoice the same as a 95-day-overdue one is how good clients get annoyed and bad debtors get comfortable.
The same escalation ladder every time — nothing left to guesswork or mood.
A polite reminder a few days ahead of the due date — most invoices need nothing more than this.
A direct call or email, professional but unambiguous, with a clear next step and date agreed.
Formal written notice, and a conversation with whoever actually signs off payments on their end.
A clear recommendation — negotiated plan, legal referral, or collections — with the full chase history behind it.
No card, no contract — let us start chasing your oldest overdue invoices and judge the results yourself.
No vague scope. Here's the full list of what a UK business gets from our credit control support, split into the day-to-day chase and the reporting behind it.
The recurring work that keeps cash moving in, every week.
The visibility that lets you actually manage cashflow.
If you invoice on credit terms and nobody's job is specifically to chase what's overdue, this fits — whatever your size, remotely, in UK business hours.
No card, no contract — send your ledger over and see exactly how the chase cycle runs on your real accounts.
The chase is the same discipline everywhere — what changes is what comes before and after it.
Tell us your ledger size and current DSO — we'll tell you honestly whether 40, 80 or 160 hours makes sense.
Read it the way you'd read a job spec — because that's exactly what it is, just outsourced and flexible.
Request a full CV and a short call with your assigned controller before you commit to anything.
Every card below is a profile on our books — the experience, tenure and tooling are exactly what you'd get assigned to your account. Ask for a full CV and reference check any time.
No need to wait for the form at the bottom — reach us directly, however suits you.
We chase and report inside the credit control and accounting tools you've already chosen — nothing new to learn on your end.
Don't see your setup listed? If it's used by a UK business for invoicing or collections, chances are we've already worked in it.
We'll plug straight in and start chasing — no setup project, no card required for the trial.
Scoped to fit however much of the chase you want to hand over, from clearing legacy debt to running the whole ledger.
Whatever your job spec calls this — Credit Controller, Accounts Receivable Specialist, Collections Executive, or Sales Ledger Controller — it's the same work we do every day for UK businesses.
Pre-due reminders through to firm follow-up, on a fixed schedule.
Genuine queries investigated and resolved before re-chasing.
A clear weekly view of what's outstanding, by age and by account.
Worth seeing side by side before you decide how to fill this gap.

"Our DSO dropped from 58 days to 34 within the first quarter. That's real cash, not a metric on a slide."
"I was dreading the calls I'd have to make myself. Now I don't have to, and clients still like us just as much."
"As a practice, having someone chase our clients' debtors under our name has been an easy sell to every client."
"Six figures of legacy debt we'd basically written off in our heads is now more than half collected."
"They flagged a dispute we didn't even know existed instead of just hammering the client for payment. That earned our trust fast."
"Started at 40 hours, moved to 80 once the backlog was gone and we saw the DSO numbers move."
