Job description

Purchase Ledger Assistant

Newark £28,000-£30,000 Hybrid - 1 day from home

If you're an experienced Purchase Ledger professional looking for a role where you can become part of a genuinely close knit finance team, this could be a great move.

Eaton Syalon are partnering with a high-growth SME based in Newark to recruit a Purchase Ledger Assistant into their established finance function due to internal promotion.

The business has grown significantly and continues to develop, but has retained the feel and culture of a smaller organisation - people know each other, work closely together and everyone plays their part.

This is a busy, hands on role with plenty of variety. With true ownership of your day to day workload while working closely with colleagues across finance and the wider business.

The role

Working as part of the Finance team, your responsibilities will include:

• Processing purchase invoices accurately and efficiently
• Checking purchase ledger coding and matching invoices against purchase orders and delivery notes
• Booking in items and ensuring the relevant records and documentation are kept up to date
• Processing employee expenses
• Ensuring invoices have the appropriate authorisation ahead of payment runs
• Supporting weekly and monthly payment processes
• Resolving invoice and supplier queries, working with both internal colleagues and external contacts
• Completing supplier statement reconciliations
• Maintaining accurate purchase ledger records and documentation
• Supporting the wider finance team with additional tasks as required

What we're looking for

We're looking for someone with good Purchase Ledger / Accounts Payable experience who enjoys being part of a team and takes pride in getting things right.

You’ll ideally be someone who is:

• Organised and comfortable managing a busy workload
• Accurate with strong attention to detail
• Confident resolving queries and following things through to completion
• Comfortable communicating with suppliers and colleagues across the business
• Proactive and happy to take ownership of your responsibilities
• A genuine team player who enjoys working in a collaborative environment

If you are excited about being part of a team within an ambitious SME that is continuing to grow, with a friendly and close-knit team around you we would love to hear from you. It's the sort of environment where you can get to know the wider business rather than feeling like one person within a huge transactional finance function.
