Job description

About the Role

If you have a solid understanding of purchase ledger and accounts and are ready to develop your skills in a broader, more hands-on finance role, this could be the opportunity for you.

RSR is an established design-and-build construction company with a strong reputation across the UK. We’re looking for a Purchase Ledger Coordinator to join our growing accounts team in Milton Keynes, providing valuable support to the finance function while gaining exposure to a wider range of accounting responsibilities.

This is a fantastic opportunity to build on your existing experience, broaden your financial knowledge and take the next step in your accounts career within an established and growing business.

Job Opportunity

As our Purchase Ledger Coordinator, you’ll play an important role within the accounts team, working with our bespoke RedSky accounting system across a diverse range of clients, projects and suppliers.

This is a varied, hands-on role that will give you the opportunity to broaden your accounting experience, develop your capabilities and build confidence as you take on increasing responsibility.

You’ll be supported by an experienced and collaborative accounts team who will help you get up to speed, while also encouraging you to challenge yourself, develop your skills and grow within the role.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Processing and managing supplier invoices
• Completing supplier statement reconciliations
• Managing cost approvals and allocations
• Preparing supplier payment schedules
• Supporting the effective financial management of creditors
• Investigating and resolving queries with our pre-contract and project delivery teams
• Providing support and cover across the wider accounts team when required

With exposure to different projects, suppliers and financial processes, no two days will be quite the same. It’s an ideal opportunity for someone with a solid foundation in purchase ledger who wants to develop into a broader and more in-depth accounts role.

Additional Information

Salary: Competitive and dependent on experience.

Essential Skills

We’re looking for a proactive self-starter who takes ownership, uses initiative and is motivated by delivering accurate, high-quality results.

You’ll ideally bring:

• At least three years’ experience working within purchase ledger
• A sound understanding of UK GAAP, including revenue recognition principles
• Knowledge of Domestic Reverse Charge VAT
• Strong experience using computerised accounting systems, alongside confidence with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel
• Excellent organisation and attention to detail, with the ability to manage competing priorities effectively
• A collaborative approach and a genuine commitment to being a team player
• A flexible, solution-focused mindset, with the confidence to investigate issues and see them through to resolution

Desirable Experience

Experience within the construction industry would be a distinct advantage, particularly within a purchase ledger or project-based finance environment.

Broader knowledge across accounting functions, including Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable and the General Ledger, would also be beneficial.

If you’re looking to build on your purchase ledger experience and gain broader exposure within a busy, project-driven finance environment, this role offers an excellent opportunity to develop your expertise, take on new challenges and grow your accounting career with RSR.
