Job description

Purchase Ledger isn't just about processing invoices.

It's about keeping suppliers happy, spotting the details others miss, making sure the finance team has confidence in the numbers, and being the person everyone relies on when things need sorting.

If you're someone who enjoys structure, takes pride in getting things right first time, and likes working in a supportive team where everyone pulls together, this could be exactly what you're looking for.

• Maintain accurate supplier records and account information.
• Work closely with colleagues across operations and finance to resolve discrepancies.
• Support the wider finance team with administrative tasks when needed.
• Help ensure payment processes run smoothly and deadlines are consistently met.

No two days are exactly the same, but if you enjoy being organised, keeping things moving and solving problems, you'll fit right in.

What do you need?

You'll already have experience working in a finance or accounts environment, ideally within Purchase Ledger, but you'll also have:

• Previous Purchase Ledger or Accounts Payable experience.

• An understanding of core accounting processes.
• Strong attention to detail and takes pride in accuracy.
• The ability to prioritise a busy workload and work to deadlines.

What's in it for you?

• An annual salary of up to £28k (depending on experience)
