Job description

You’ll take ownership of the purchase ledger and ensure invoices, payments and queries are managed accurately and on time—because nobody likes a grumpy supplier (especially not Finance).

• Matching invoices to POs and GRNs and resolving discrepancies
• Handling supplier queries promptly and professionally
• Completing supplier statement reconciliations and issuing remittances
• Preparing payment runs for approval by the Financial Controller
• Supporting month-end activity, including accruals and reconciliations
• Allocating invoices to relevant business areas (e.g., Machine Sales)
• Spotting opportunities to improve AP processes and drive efficiency

• Previous experience in Accounts Payable / Purchase Ledger within a commercial environment

• Confident using Excel and MS Office
