Job description

Purchase Ledger Clerk

Sheffield - Full Time, Permanent (Hybrid Working)

A Purchase Ledger role with a little more to it

We're looking for an experienced Purchase Ledger Clerk to join a leading organisation, based in Sheffield to support their busy finance team and take ownership of the day-to-day purchase ledger process, whilst also supporting with a wider range of transactional finance activities.

This is a great role for someone who enjoys the detail and accuracy that comes with Purchase Ledger, but doesn't want to be limited in their responsibilities. You'll become an important part of the team, working closely with colleagues across the business and getting involved in different areas as you develop.

Duties will include:

• Processing and coding purchase invoices


• Matching invoices to purchase orders and delivery notes


• Setting up and maintaining supplier accounts


• Completing supplier statement reconciliations


• Managing supplier queries and resolving invoice discrepancies


• Preparing and assisting with payment runs


• Ensuring the purchase ledger is accurate and up to date


• Supporting month-end activities and reconciliations


• Assisting with wider transactional finance duties across the team


• Providing support with general finance administration and ad-hoc finance tasks

We're looking for someone who already has Purchase Ledger experience and understands the importance of accuracy, organisation and keeping on top of deadlines.

You’ll be comfortable dealing with suppliers, able to investigate and resolve queries and confident working through a high volume of invoices where required. Just as importantly, you’ll be someone who enjoys being part of a team and is happy to get involved outside of your core responsibilities.

This would suit someone who is looking for a varied transactional finance role, where they can use their existing Purchase Ledger experience whilst continuing to broaden their knowledge across finance.
