You’ll ideally be:

• Experienced in purchase ledger or transactional accounts

• Highly organised with excellent attention to detail

• Confident dealing with invoices, reconciliations and financial records

• Comfortable communicating with both suppliers and customers

• Able to work independently and manage your own workload

• Flexible and willing to support across different areas of the finance function

• Proactive, professional and keen to make a positive contribution

• Comfortable using accounting software and Microsoft Office
