• Internal Dispute Resolution: Communicate with and follow up internal managers to ensure invoice disputes or contract requirements are addressed in a timely manner.
• Clear Account Communication: Clearly explain payment terms, outstanding balances, and dispute resolutions across both phone and email channels.
• Ledger Reconciliation: Reconcile customer ledgers, including accurately offsetting credit notes against invoices and allocating unapplied payments.
• Credit Limit Monitoring: Actively monitor customer balances so agreed credit limits are never breached; run risk assessments, review credit files, and flag high-risk accounts.
