Alexander Mann Solution is a recruitment outsourcing company that controls HR for various corporate clients worldwide. I worked within the Credit control department as one of two staff working within the billing team. The billing I was involved with ranged from the number of hires a company makes within the month to specific headhunting placements and training which may be provided to the client at a cost. Between me and my colleague we controlled the international billing keeping up our knowledge of changing tax laws and accurate exchange rates is essential when doing this. My main duties involved invoicing the clients, handling the queries and on occasion having to raise credit notes; we dealt with high volumes of requests throughout the week and used various systems and processes to cater to what the clients needed. This has enabled me to pick up intermediate skills in accountancy based systems such as SUN, Tempest, OB10, and various other programs which run through either Access databases or the clients own online systems. I spoke regularly with clients' accounts payable departments solving queries and helping the credit controllers collect their owed money.
The Company itself is a high end perfume/aftershave establishment. My main role whilst working there on a temp basis was within the company's head office putting through orders from the beginning of the process to the invoicing of them using SAGE. I also helped with post-room duties such as using the Franking-Machine for various letters and parcels etc. When there was time I would assist with general admin tasks to both the account managers and whole sale manager; preparing paperwork, filing etc.
The main role of this job consisted of using SAGE 200 which involved the administration of invoices, credit notes and the allocation of payments. Another task was inputting credits onto the system and making adjustments such as updating and amending addresses, name changes etc. I also sent out copy invoices and statements using PDF. I took Credit card payments via the phone and C/Card machine sending out receipts on request. Managed, sorted and dealt with all remittance forms and PO requests. I had full control over the companies Barclays accounts sorting and creating spreadsheets etc. for the daily cash and cheque payments. I would pay in cheques to the bank daily and send a cash report to the MD's and FD letting them know what the targets were and what was being achieved. Handled various account queries over the phone and via email either dealing with them myself or finding out who would be responsible.
Whilst studying my AS Levels
Very much a foot in the door position, my job consisted mainly of sorting and filing various newspapers and magazines used for the press cutting service. Also upon request I would find and distribute publications to employees in the other departments.
