Job description

Trial Balance Consulting have been tasked to source a temporary Purchase Ledger Clerk to join a highly reputable not-for-profit organisation based in Redruth who urgently seek to recruit an interim Purchase Ledger Clerk to assist them through a particularly busy period. The assignment can be operated on a either a full or part time arrangement and there will be some potential for hybrid working following initial training in Redruth. The contract has an anticipated duration of two months.

Reporting to the Finance Manager, the successful candidate will focus on assisting with clearing a backlog of supplier invoices as the finance function has recently restructured. Typical responsibilities include:

1. Prepare accounts payable invoices and credit notes using Xero
2. Acting as a first line support for customer account queries (telephone and email based)
3. Administer payment runs
4. Account reconciliations
5. General office administration
6. Provide absence cover for other members of the finance team

For this role, our client is more focused on personable qualities than qualifications, so applicants may be either part/fully qualified AAT or qualified by experience. However, it is essential that applicants possess previous experience using Xero as there is little opportunity for system training. Previous experience gained in a busy finance function is preferred and a good familiarity with MS Office products is essential. An accurate and methodical attitude would lend itself well to the role.

For further details and to apply, please contact Steve Roach quoting reference SR9340 ASAP. This assignment is available for immediate commencement.
