If you're looking for more than just another AP job - this is for you.

We're hiring a Purchase Ledger Clerk who wants to feel valued, supported, and trusted in their work. This is a great opportunity to join a collaborative finance team where your accuracy helps keep four UK businesses running smoothly.

Once you're settled in, we'll also offer hybrid working, so you can enjoy a better work-life balance too.

• 25,000 - 26,500 per year (depending on experience)
• Hybrid working once you're confident in the role
• 23 days holiday + bank holidays
• Company pension
• Ongoing training and development
• A friendly, down-to-earth finance team
• Quiet office location in Hambleton with on-site parking

What you’ll be doing (and why you’ll enjoy it)

You'll take ownership of the purchase ledger process across four UK entities - so there's plenty of variety and the chance to improve systems as you go. Key tasks include:

• Processing and matching high volumes of supplier invoices and credit notes
• Reconciling supplier statements
• Resolving invoice/payment discrepancies
• Liaising with suppliers and internal teams
• Supporting month-end close with accruals and accurate ledger maintenance
• Keeping digital records tidy and audit-ready
• Helping improve processes where possible

You'll be trusted to do your job well and supported if you want to grow into more senior finance roles.

• Has experience in purchase ledger or accounts payable
• Can confidently use accounting software (Sage, Odoo or similar)
• Is comfortable with Excel and digital filing systems
• Pays strong attention to detail and deadlines
• Can communicate clearly with colleagues and suppliers
