Purchase Ledger Assistant

I'm currently recruiting for an Accounts Payable Assistant on behalf of a well-established business, offering a 6-month fixed-term contract with a salary of £28,500 and a hybrid working pattern (3 days in the office, 2 from home).

This role sits within the Finance team and reports directly to the Management Accountant. It's a great opportunity for someone with accounts payable experience who enjoys working in a busy environment and building strong relationships with suppliers and internal stakeholders.

Key responsibilities include:

• Reviewing, verifying and processing supplier invoices
• Performing supplier statement reconciliations and resolving discrepancies
• Assisting with month-end processes and GL account reconciliations
• Maintaining accurate accounts payable records
• Responding to supplier queries and providing support where needed
• Working closely with internal departments to resolve billing issues and ensure compliance

We're keen to speak with candidates who have:

• Previous experience in Accounts Payable or a similar finance role
• Good knowledge of general ledger functions and AP processes
• Strong Excel skills and experience with accounting software (MCS experience would be advantageous but isn't essential)
• Excellent attention to detail and organisational skills
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build effective working relationships

If this sounds of interest, I'd be happy to tell you more about the opportunity. Please reply with your updated CV or let me know a convenient time for a quick chat.
