About the role.
What does an offshore credit controller do?
They keep customer accounts current by following up unpaid invoices politely and consistently, and by making sure your team hears about problems early.
Send invoice reminders and statements on the schedule you set
Phone or email customers about overdue balances and record promises to pay
Allocate receipts and apply credit notes so balances are accurate
Log disputes, missing purchase orders and short payments, and pass them to the right person
Prepare debtor ageing reports and a weekly list of accounts needing attention
Flag accounts that exceed credit limits or pay later than agreed for your decision
Which software do they use?
Credit control usually runs from your accounting package, such as Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks, with Excel for ageing and follow-up lists and Outlook for customer correspondence. Each profile lists the software that person has used, so you can pick someone who already knows yours.

What good looks like
Agree activity measures you can both see, such as a debtor ageing report that is current each week, reminders sent to your schedule and every overdue account with a recorded next action. Customer payment behaviour varies, so avoid targets the role cannot control.
Define who approves credit limits, write-offs and payment plans, and who decides when to put an account on hold or escalate it.
Assess the right fit
Our catalogue candidates are reviewed and interviewed by our team.
Discuss experience with your accounting software, the number of active debtors and the time zones of your customers. Ask the candidate to describe how they handle a customer who disputes an invoice, keeps promising to pay or stops responding, and how they keep the tone professional. Confirm whether the role will phone customers and the hours that needs.
Agree any practical exercise with our team, using fictional information, such as drafting a reminder email or prioritising a sample ageing list. Give the candidate only the access the role needs, and keep write-offs and credit decisions with your team.

How do I fill my Credit Controller role in the Philippines?
Start with a brief for your Credit Controller role: the responsibilities they will own, the systems they will use and the working hours you need to overlap with your team in New Zealand or Australia. Meet candidates against that brief and agree the total monthly cost before choosing a start date.
With Ramp Remote, we employ and support your person in the Philippines. You provide the business context, set priorities and review their work. Start with one clear responsibility and a named manager, then expand the role as the handover takes hold.
Before you hire.
What the monthly price includesThe starting price is a guide for a full-time hire in the Philippines. Your quote confirms the total for your chosen person, agreed hours and service arrangements.
- Experience and scope: specialist skills, seniority and the responsibilities you need affect the price.
- Hours and coverage: agree the working week, time-zone overlap and any evening or weekend needs.
- What is included: ask for the breakdown of employment costs, our service, equipment and any one-off charges, with currency and applicable taxes stated.
We confirm these details before you commit. The starting price is not a fixed quote for every candidate.
Timing depends on the brief, candidate availability, interviews and any notice period. We will agree the next update and a target start date with you once those details are clear. If the right person is not currently available, we can recruit to your brief.
- Set the rules: agree access, your credit terms, reminder wording and the escalation path.
- Handover one cycle: review the current ageing list together and send a first round of reminders with your sign-off.
- Review the first month: check the activity log, open disputes and the ageing report, then agree the ongoing cadence.
You can discuss a role without committing to a hire. Before proceeding, review your written quote and agreement for payment timing, currency and taxes, notice requirements, the support included and what happens if the hire is not the right fit.
We will confirm replacement arrangements and any conditions in your agreement before you proceed.
