· Manually raising monthly consolidated invoices, advanced rental charges, and managing/uploading invoices to customer portals
· Ensuring payments are settled prior to delivery of new contract hire vehicles and verifying standing orders for ongoing charges
· Attending monthly Credit Control meetings with the Credit Control Manager and Financial Controller
· Banking cheques and assisting with ad-hoc tasks across the wider Finance team (e.g., raising sales invoices, processing purchase invoices)
